Description from the author on Hangar

PauseLinks

Put your website, store, Discord and rules one click away — right in the player's pause menu.

PauseLinks is a small, free Paper plugin that uses Minecraft's built-in Server Links and Dialog features
(1.21.6+). No resource pack, no client mod, nothing for players to install.

Made by the Craftavia team · craftavia.net

Features

  • Server Links list – fills Minecraft's own Escape → Server Links... screen with your links.
  • Your own pause menu button – adds a custom button (with your text and colors) that opens a

link screen. Buttons can open a URL or run a command (for example /spawn).

  • Clickable chat list – /links shows every link in chat with hover text.
  • Shortcut commands – /discord, /website or any command you define, each showing one link.
  • Per-player language – players see messages in their client language. English and Turkish are

bundled; add any language by dropping a messages_.properties file in the plugin folder.

  • MiniMessage everywhere – colors, gradients and formatting in names, titles and messages.
  • Live reload – /links reload re-sends the list to online players, no reconnect needed.
  • Lightweight: no dependencies, no database, no network calls, no metrics.

Requirements

Server · Paper (or a fork such as Purpur) 1.21.6 – 1.21.11, 26.x
Java · 21 or newer
Client · Java Edition 1.21.6+ (Bedrock players via Geyser simply do not see the pause menu parts)

Installation

  1. Download PauseLinks-x.y.z.jar from Releases.
  2. Put it in your plugins/ folder and start the server once.
  3. Edit plugins/PauseLinks/config.yml (replace the example.com links with yours).
  4. Run /links reload. If you changed the pause-button section, restart the server once

(the button is delivered through a data pack, which Minecraft only loads at startup).

Notes

  • Minecraft's own Server Links... button text comes from the client and cannot be changed;

that is why PauseLinks adds its own button next to it.

  • If another plugin or data pack also adds a pause screen dialog, Minecraft groups them under a

Custom Options... button. This is vanilla behavior.

  • Commands run from a dialog button go through your normal command permissions and command

whitelist plugins.

Türkçe

PauseLinks, oyuncunun Escape (duraklatma) menüsüne sitenizi, mağazanızı, Discord'unuzu ve
kurallarınızı ekleyen ücretsiz bir Paper eklentisidir. Minecraft'ın kendi Sunucu Bağlantıları ve
Dialog özelliklerini kullanır, oyuncunun hiçbir şey kurması gerekmez.

  • Escape menüsündeki Sunucu Bağlantıları listesini doldurur.
  • Menüye kendi renkli butonunuzu ekler. Butonlar adres açabilir ya da komut çalıştırabilir (/spawn).
  • /links ile sohbette tıklanabilir liste gösterir. /discord gibi kısa komutlar tanımlanabilir.
  • Oyun dili Türkçe olan oyuncu mesajları Türkçe görür (messages_tr.properties).

Kurulum: jar'ı plugins/ klasörüne atın, sunucuyu bir kez açın, config.yml içindeki
example.com adreslerini kendi adreslerinizle değiştirin ve /links reload yazın.
pause-button bölümünü değiştirdiyseniz sunucuyu bir kez yeniden başlatın.
