The dialogs need to be configured first, like the following example.

• The id is used to reference a dialog from an other one or from a command call
• The trigger defines a list of villager names that will trigger the dialog when the player right click them
• The optional objective field is used to map custom objectives that act as variables being edited as a result of some dialog action
• The optional items field is a string matching an item name (or its id if itemizer is present) and the amount required.
• The pages contains the one or many pages a dialog contains
  • The text is the one going to be displayed to the player on this page
  • The buttons is a list of clickable text buttons that are going to trigger some event
    • The text is what will be displayed and clickable
    • The color defines the color of the button
    • The array actions list the actions the button will execute
      • The name must match one of the available actions, being : [OPEN_DIALOG|TELEPORT|GIVE_ITEM|REMOVE_ITEM|SET_OBJECTIVE]
      • The arg depends on the action
