Dialogue Display Framework

Framework for customizing pretty much everything about NPC dialogue boxes. Lets you add friendship hearts, character sprites, custom text and images, and more.

This mod is a modder's resource, it doesn't do anything by itself. For mods that implements this framework, see:

It allows for the creation of Content Patcher mods that change the way NPC dialogue boxes are displayed in the following ways:

  • Position, width, color, and size of the dialogue text and the character name
  • Scroll background for the character name
  • Position of the character portrait
  • Width and height of the dialogue box
  • Position, size, and animation of the friendship jewel
  • Position and size of the action button


The mod also allows the addition of the following custom elements to NPC dialogue boxes:


  • A character sprite like in character profile pages that can be animated, shown with or with out background, and leads to the profile page when clicked.
  • The current hearts attained with this character (including partial hearts), with or without empty hearts
  • Weekly gift indicator with or without the gift icon
  • Any number of custom images using Content Patcher paths
  • Any number of custom texts with or without scroll backgrounds
  • Any number of horizontal or vertical dividers
