CEAddon-Menu: Automatic Menu Generator for CraftEngine
Requires Paper 1.21.x | Addon for CraftEngine
CEAddon-Menu is a lightweight addon for CraftEngine that automatically generates a GUI menu populated with all your CraftEngine items—no manual categories.yml setup required.
🧩 Features
- Auto-generates GUI menus from your CraftEngine item YAMLs
- Reads CraftEngine's native YAML files to fetch item data
- Uses CraftEngine API, ensuring minimal to zero conflicts
- Ignores resourcepack directories, categories.yml, templates.yml.
❌ Limitations
- Requires Paper 1.21.x – Compatibility with Spigot or other forks is not guaranteed.
💬 Commands
- /cea menu: Opens the auto-generated GUI containing CraftEngine items. The GUI is organized by pack, directory and YAML file source.
- /cea get : Gives a specific CraftEngine item. Tab-completion is available for both and for ease of use.
- /cea reload: Regenerates CraftEngine menu. Necessary if automatic-reload is DISABLED.
