Rules
A /rules menu — eleven books, a warning sign, one close button. 31 lines of Skript, 131 of SwoftLang (the books earn their keep); exercises declarative GUIs and commands.
the /rules command
skript
command /rules:
trigger:
rules(player, "rules")swoftlang
// rules.sk port — a /rules menu, declared instead of assembled.
command "rules" {
description: "Open the server rules"
execute {
open gui "rules" to sender
}
}Why it maps this way
The .sk routes through rules(player, "rules") and string-compares the discriminator inside. Screens are declarations here, so the command just opens one.
building the screen
skript
function rules(p: player, type: text):
if {_type} is "rules":
set metadata tag "rules" of {_p} to chest inventory with 5 rows named "&c&lRules"
set slot (numbers between 0 and 44) of metadata tag "rules" of {_p} to gray stained glass pane named " "
open (metadata tag "rules" of {_p}) to {_p}swoftlang
// Skript builds the inventory by hand (metadata tag, 45 glass panes, one
// set-slot per book) and routes clicks by comparing inventories. The gui
// block declares the same screen; the runtime owns the session, cancels
// item movement, and routes clicks per slot.
gui "rules" {
rows: 5
title: "<red><bold>Rules"
fill: item("GRAY_STAINED_GLASS_PANE", name: " ")Why it maps this way
A metadata-tag inventory, 45 glass set-slot calls and an open-before-populate dance become rows / title / fill. There is no window object to stash on the player — the runtime owns the session and renders the declaration.
the warning sign
skript
set slot 4 of metadata tag "rules" of {_p} to shiny redstone block named "&c&l! ! !" with lore "&7If you see someone breaking any" and "&7of these rules, report them in the discord!" and "&9/discord"swoftlang
slot 4 {
item {
material: "REDSTONE_BLOCK"
name: "<red><bold>! ! !"
glint: true
lore: [
"<gray>If you see someone breaking any",
"<gray>of these rules, report them in the discord!",
"<blue>/discord"
]
}
}Why it maps this way
shiny → glint: true; &c&l → <red><bold>; the with lore ... and ... chain becomes a list.

}
}Why it maps this way
Deliberately 1:1 — menu content is the bulk of any menu script, and it ports mechanically. The compiler validates every material name and slot index against the declared rows.
close button and click routing
skript
set slot 40 of metadata tag "rules" of {_p} to barrier named "&c&lClose Menu"
on inventory click:
if event-inventory = (metadata tag "rules" of player):
cancel event
if index of event-slot is 40:
close inventory of playerswoftlang
slot 40 {
item {
material: "BARRIER"
name: "<red><bold>Close Menu"
}
on_click {
close gui for player
}
}
}Why it maps this way
The .sk cancels every click on a matching inventory and compares index of event-slot is 40. Here only slot 40 declares an on_click; every non-editable slot cancels item movement automatically, so the router disappears.
