/Menu

I liked how you guys made it possible to have categories in the /Rules command.
I like that users can now navigate through a menu via text.
However, I would like a menu that isn't Rules related.
For example, Lets say I wanted to make a list of staff, or maybe that could be a command all by it self but, I thought it would be cool to add a type of /Menu command for an ingame menu.
I personally would have a lot of different uses for this.

Example:

/Menu
What time is it?
What's my IP?
What Rank Am I?
Ranking Guide
Staff List

/What time is it?
The current server time is {TIME}

/Whats my IP
Your IP is {IP}

/What Rank am I?
Your Current Rank is: {RANK}

/Ranking Guide
Usage: /Ranking Guide (Rank)
/Ranking Guide Citizen
To rank from Citizen to Builder, you must have 2 Hours of server time logged, and 2 Great Builds that were reviewed by server staff

I'm sure you get the idea!

I quite like this idea, it would be a good mod for fCraft. I can't see it being in an official build though.

/Menu
1. What time is it?
2. What's my IP?
3. What Rank Am I?
4. Ranking Guide
5. Staff List
Type /menu followed by option 1-5

I just think it would be a great addition because it adds more customization to the user interface of your server, and it adds a certain uniqueness to each server being able to add different menu items. It would even be cool to add a drawing feature like
/menu
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6. Draw

Draw
1.Cube
/1
Usage /1 (Height)x(Width)


Something like that, or not, I'm kind of on the fence about it since the Drawing commands are already simplified.

I'm sure you get the idea though.

The menu could feature account customization for the server, like changing your ingame password (which I've also suggested adding) and if the rank suits you having the ability to change your display name (and only your display name.)

There are multiple uses for a user controlled menu.
I feel like it would be a great addition.

Fragmer is working on an extensive multi purpose /list command, or is planning one. Afaik.

Well, this has nothing to do with /list. I'd rather let modders add /menu if they wanted, I don't see any use for this in the standard fCraft.
