What DialogueDesigner is
DialogueDesigner is a free, open-source web editor for creating interactive NPC dialogues in Minecraft: Bedrock Edition. Dialogue files can contain any number of scenes connected by buttons players press. Edit mode builds the dialogue, while Preview mode shows how it looks and behaves in-game, including localized versions. Custom commands can run when a dialogue opens, closes or when a button is pressed. Text supports Minecraft formatting codes and raw JSON, including translations and dynamic scoreboard values. Translation language files are saved in a resource pack’s texts folder, and exported dialogue files go into a dialogue folder inside a behavior pack. Using a dialogue requires a Minecraft NPC entity; the built-in NPC entity is an option for simple applications. Documentation recommends understanding resource and behavior packs first. The project uses the GPL-3.0 license and credits JannisX11 in collaboration with Mojang Studios.
