# ArcMenu Premium

ArcMenu Premium is a Minecraft menu plugin for creating custom interfaces with text, images, items and animations.

Menus can provide server navigation, game-mode introductions and access to features from other plugins. Administrators can arrange content and buttons freely and configure their click actions.

Players do not need a client mod. Administrators can edit menu configuration files or use the optional **ArcMenu Editor** to design menus visually in game.

## Features

* **Custom layouts:** combine text, images, items, blocks, backgrounds and borders.
* **Two ways to interact:** point at buttons with your view or use mouse mode.
* **Buttons and tooltips:** run commands, open another menu or show a description when a player points at a button.
* **Permissions and conditions:** control who can open a menu and how its buttons respond.
* **Animations:** animate menu opening, navigation, closing and individual elements.
* **Reusable templates:** save common components and avoid repeating their configuration.
* **Plugin integrations:** display player information with PlaceholderAPI and use economy plugins or CraftEngine alongside your menus.

Features such as shops, quests and guilds need a plugin that provides those features. ArcMenu supplies the interface and lets you connect its buttons to them.
