Creating

In this section, we will demonstrate Invero's basic menu logic by creating a menu named spawn
The requirements are to implement the following functions:

• A 5-row high chest container, decorated with two different colored glass panes around the edges
• A beacon button in the center
• When the button is clicked, the player requests to return to spawn point

---

Creating the File

First, create a new file with the extension yml in the working directory
and open it with a text editor

workspace/spawn.yml

# This is an empty file

---

Declaring the Menu

1. Set the menu title

workspace/spawn.yml

title: 'Spawn'

2. Imagine the menu layout and represent it with characters

workspace/spawn.yml

title: 'Spawn Menu'

layout: |-
  #########
  |       |
  |   *   |
  |       |
  #########

Understanding Layout

In the Layout here, we configured 5 rows of strings, each row has 9 characters
Each character represents an item on a chest slot, There are three types of characters # | * which are all icons we need to configure later

The actual position of icons in the menu also corresponds one-to-one with the layout characters

3. Configure simple decorative icons

workspace/spawn.yml

# .. omitted title and layout nodes
items:
  '#':
    material: gray stained glass pane
  '|':
    material: cyan stained glass pane
  '*':
    material: beacon

4. Configure the teleport button

workspace/spawn.yml

# .. omitted previous nodes
  '*':
    material: beacon
    # Configure custom item name
    name: '&c&lCLICK TP TO SPAWN'
    # Click action node
    # Write the action to execute spawn command
    action: command spawn

Viewing the Menu

• After the menu configuration is complete, execute invero reload to reload the workspace
• The menu name for the workspace/spawn.yml file will be spawn,
• We can then execute invero open spawn in the game to view this menu
