Feature Request: Customized Menus
This is a feature request: What I would like to see in this update are the ability to customize the island create create and island menus be replacing the default with custom input (see below for config example.) As you're aware from earlier discussions I use different islands and for me this includes eliminating the default (slot 0) island and all of it's language. - Its nice to have the features that uSkyBlock has built in, but it'd be a lot nicer to be able to choose if we want to use them all or not.
And perhaps the ability to change default biome.

Hi.
You can change the default biome already, take a look here: https://github.com/rlf/uSkyBlock/blob/master/uSkyBlock-Core/src/main/resources/config.yml#L18
We've considered (and even tried) customizing the menus earlier, but unfortunately, it hasn't been very successful. The reason for this is, that most of our menu-items (at least some) incorporate too much logic. Most of the items will indicate some state (which could be provided using placeholders, I know), and some depend on state (like icon/menu-item changing depending on locked-state of the island).
Additionally, we currently use GNU Gettext for translations, which is far superior to any other system out there, but moving all those texts into a config-file, will severely impact the "translatability" of the plugin.
You are - however - not the first one to request more customization-options reg. menus, so perhaps this is the time to take a second look.
Thank you. Perhaps, it could be a secondary plugin that interfaces via the api?
No - we've put a lot of effort into making uSkyBlock a simple to install and use experience.
But, we've also focused a lot of making as much configurable as possible.
I think we will introduce a "gui-disable" feature, that simply stops all the GUIs from showing - that way, you can configure what you want using the chest-commands-GUI or similar.
Perhaps allowing for some alias overrides, so the GUIs can be shown if specified (i.e. /is will show the cmd-line help, where as /is gui will show the GUI).
