# The menu

`/ib gui` sets up nearly everything without commands. It needs `itemblocker.gui`.

## Presets

The first screen lists every preset. The bottom row has buttons to:

* **create a preset**: type its name in the chat,
* **start from a template**: Survival, Lifesteal or PvP, see [Preset templates](/itemblocker/features/templates.md).

Click a preset to open it.

## A preset

| Section            | What you can do                                                                                                                                                  |

| **Item groups**    | Add a group by typing a pattern such as `*_sword` or `#swords` in the chat                                                                                       |
| **Item filters**   | Click an item in your own inventory to make a filter from it; it is named after the item                                                                         |
| **Allowed items**  | Click an item in your own inventory, or search, to allow it. Click an entry to remove it                                                                         |

| **Settings**       | Description and reason (typed in the chat), worlds and WorldGuard regions (picked from a list)                                                                   |

Presets other than `default` can be deleted with shift + right click on the delete button.

## The rule editor

Items, groups and filters share one editor:

* a button for every [action](/itemblocker/rules/actions.md): red is blocked, green is allowed,
* **Worlds**: pick them from a list,
* **Bypass permission**: type it in the chat, `none` removes it,
* for items, the **stack** and **inventory** [limits](/itemblocker/rules/limits.md): left click +1, right click -1, with shift 16,
* for filters, every [criterion](/itemblocker/rules/filters.md): type, name, lore, model data, plugin data and enchantment,
* **Remove** deletes the rule.

## Item search

The search shows every item, 45 per page. Click the search button and type part of a name, such as `diamond chest` or `ender_p`; right click shows every item again. Clicking an item opens its editor, or allows it in the allowed items.

## Typing in the chat

When a menu needs free text, it closes and asks you to type it in the chat. Your message is not shown to anyone. Click `cancel` in that message, or type it or the word from your language file such as `anuluj`, to go back without changing anything, or type `none` to clear a value.

## Saving

Every change is saved to `rules.yml` right away, exactly as if you had used a command.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://opuszek.gitbook.io/itemblocker/features/menu.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
