BRNTalk

BRNTalk is a dialogue-focused Minecraft (NeoForge) mod built for RPG servers, quest maps, and modpacks.
It helps you deliver story content in a cleaner, more immersive way by unifying NPC conversations, branching narrative, and player-facing message flow in one system.


What can you use it for?

  • Build NPC story conversations and branching quest guidance
  • Provide a more consistent message-center style UI for players
  • Pause at key nodes and continue later to match quest progression
  • Run simple command in scripts for feedback, or conduct more complex operations with provided APIs.

For full technical details (script structure, commands, JSON format, and developer API), please check the repository README.


Highlights

  • IM-style UI approach: BRNTalk feels closer to a modern messaging app feed, not a Galgame portrait + big textbox layout, and not direct world-entity click interaction.
  • Multi-thread conversation tracking per player
  • Immersive reading UI with dedicated talk screen + new message notifications; cogwork-style or vanilla-style is available
  • Branching + wait nodes for staged quest and narrative flows
  • Configurable experience (typing speed, scrolling feel, UI style, notification placement)
  • Server-friendly design for managing story progression in multiplayer worlds, as scripts distribution and progress storage are all server-sided
  • Hot-reloading with /reload is available for scripts
  • Flexible API that allows integrations with other mods or KubeJS Scripts

Quick Start

  1. Install BRNTalk and launch the game.
  2. Confirm the BRNTalk message/talk UI can be opened on the client.
  3. Load sample dialogue content (/brntalk start test_demo) or your own dialogue resources.
  4. Trigger a conversation in-game and verify the full flow:

    • Auto-advanced text
    • Branching choices
    • Wait node continuation
  5. Tune UI and notification settings to match your gameplay style.

For advanced customization of dialogue nodes, branching logic, and integrations, see the repository README.
