About

LinguaCraft already works on any server, with pickups as practice. Install LinguaCraft Server on your server and it plays the way singleplayer does: every item a LinguaCraft player picks up waits in the air until they say its name. On top of that you get matches, shared word hunts and night skipping for everyone.

It's server only: players install LinguaCraft on their own game, and players without it can still join and play normally.

Features

Say it to keep it, in multiplayer A picked-up item floats and glows while its player answers on the side card. Any other LinguaCraft player who walks into it gets the prompt too, and whoever says it right first gets it; everyone else's prompt closes. A wrong answer only takes that player out of the running: once nobody is left, the item is lost or stays on the ground, following the last player's settings. Walk too far away (16 blocks by default) and your prompt closes, leaving the item for anyone else.

The prompt card at the side of the screen

Matches Players host a word hunt match from Word hunts → Host match: Compete (the first to pick up the round's word and say it right scores) or Co-op (find them together). Each round uses one of the host's chosen languages, and the host sets the rounds, time per word, easy or hard words, how the word is shown, signal bars, hints and penalties. Rounds can ask for an amount too ("find 5 sand"): every pickup is asked about, then the count.

Invited players get a pop-up with the rules, and can answer later under Matches, where every match they've played is kept. Anyone missing a speech model is offered the download.

Command What it does
/linguacraft compete <players> Open the match setup with those players ticked
/linguacraft compete leave Leave your match
/linguacraft compete stop End your match for everyone (the player who started it)

Shared word hunts Everyone with LinguaCraft hunts the same word together, each in the language they're learning, with votes to skip it.

Nights Lying in a bed opens LinguaCraft's bedtime quiz. The night is skipped once every player in the Overworld has been to bed and done their quiz (they don't have to be in bed at the same time), and the night waits for anyone still answering. Players can also vote to skip it from their bed (half the Overworld).

The bedtime quiz

Crafting has stakes too A missed word for something a player crafted takes it back, as in singleplayer.

Settings in game Operators can change every setting in game under LinguaCraft's Settings → Server, and changes reach everyone straight away.

Installation

Requirements

Steps

  1. Download linguacraft-server-x.x.x+<your version>.jar from the Files tab.
  2. Put it in the server's mods folder, with Fabric API. Don't put LinguaCraft itself on the server.
  3. Restart the server. Players install LinguaCraft (and optionally LinguaCraft Voices and LinguaCraft Counting) on their own game.

Settings are in config/linguacraft/server.json:

Setting Default What it does
holdItems true Hold picked-up items until the player answers. Off: pickups are practice (matches still work).
craftPenalties true Take crafted items back after a missed crafting word.
answerTimeoutSeconds 120 A held item drops back down after this long without an answer.
walkAwayBlocks 16 Walk further than this from an item you're asked about and its prompt closes. 0: off.
sharedHunts true Everyone hunts the same word together.
sharedSkipVotes true Players can vote to skip the shared word.
matches true Players can host matches.
matchSkipVotes true Players can vote to skip a match's word.
amounts false Word hunts and match rounds ask for an amount (find 5 sand).
maxAmount 10 The most an amount can ask for.
nightSkipReady true Skip the night once everyone has been to bed and done their quiz.
nightSkipVote true Players can vote to skip the night from their bed.

The server log lists the main settings at startup, and night-skip decisions are logged with [Night].

Compatibility
Minecraft 1.20.1, 1.21 / 1.21.1 and 26.3, each with its own jar.
Players without LinguaCraft Can join and play normally. Nothing changes for them.
Other LinguaCraft versions Players whose LinguaCraft doesn't match this add-on just aren't held for: their pickups are practice, and nobody is ever disconnected. Keep the add-on up to date.
Performance Light. No work per tick beyond a once-a-second check while items are held, and matches do nothing while none is running. Learning and speech all happen on each player's own computer.
Worlds No new blocks or items, so it never affects world saves or vanilla clients.

FAQ

Do players need anything? LinguaCraft on their own game, for the matching Minecraft version. LinguaCraft Voices and Counting are optional.

The night never skips. What do I check? Look in the server log for lines starting with [Night]: they say why a night was or wasn't skipped. Check that nightSkipReady is on, and that every player in the Overworld has been to bed and finished their quiz.

Can someone grab an item they weren't asked about? No. Only players who were asked about an item can answer for it, and a held item drops back down after a timeout or when its player leaves.

Permissions

  • Any server, public or paid, can run it. A link to the mod page is appreciated.
  • Modpacks: Yes, as long as the pack downloads it from this page or the official Modrinth / CurseForge pages.
  • Re-uploading: No. Please link here instead.

Support the mod

LinguaCraft is free and always will be. If it's helped your server learn a few words and you'd like to say thanks, you can buy me a coffee on Ko-fi. It's never expected, but always appreciated.
