How do I install SVDialog?

Install the matching mod loader (Forge, Fabric or NeoForge) for your Minecraft version. Download the .jar. Put it in the .minecraft/mods folder and launch that loader profile. Opens on CurseForge — not every file is mirrored on our own servers.

What Minecraft version does SVDialog work with?

The listing gives Minecraft 1.20.1, 1.21.1. This is the version stated by the author or source site, not something we verified ourselves.

Which build do you need?

This mod ships a separate file for every mod loader and every version of the game. Pick both, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game.

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

SVDialog

SVDialog is a fork of the mod visual novel styled dialog mod VNDialog made for the modpack Society: Sunlit Valley's NPC update.

It offers options to structure dialogs closer to the game the pack is inspired by: Stardew Valley. Although this was made for the modpack, nothing is stopping you from using it in your own!

Changes and additions

Inline portrait position that places the portrait of the dialog at the beginning of the dialog box
Client config setting Dialog box x-offset. This is needed to adjust the entire dialog to the right or left depending on the inline portrait offset or any other needed reasons.
Nameplate moved below inline portrait with a background
Customized default UI

Why the fork?

VNDialog provides a very extensive config and data driven format, but the way Stardew Valley's dialog works is very specific. I don't want to interfere with the development of the original mod by continually submitting PRthat might not match the quality of the original mod.
