Textualizer

Custom localization solution for all Minecraft versions.

For users

Why do I need this?

Minecraft's (and Forge's) language management system is very buggy and inconsistent across several Minecraft versions. This library aims to provide a consistent and reliable way to manage translations in your mods.

Is it going to affect my FPS / performance?

No. The library doesn't add anything which would affect performance outside of the initial loading of the translations and language switching.

For developers

Setup

You need to add it as a dependency in your build.gradle(.kts) file.

repositories {
    maven("" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">https://maven.deftu.dev/releases")
}

dependencies {
    modImplementation("dev.deftu:textualizer-<MINECRAFT VERSION>-<MOD LOADER>:<VERSION>")
}

Of course, replace <MINECRAFT VERSION> with the version of Minecraft you are developing for, <MOD LOADER> with the mod loader you are developing for, and <VERSION> with the version of the library you want to use.

Usage

To create a translated string, you can use

import dev.deftu.textualizer.minecraft.MCLocalization;

String text = MCLocalization.get("com.example");

To create a translated string with arguments, you can use

import dev.deftu.textualizer.MCLocalization;

int number = 10;
String text = MCLocalization.get("com.example", number);

Textualizer

A simple localization management library.

Features a Minecraft-specific implementation for mod developers, wrapping around Minecraft's own localization system.

For developers

Setup

You need to add it as a dependency in your build.gradle(.kts) file.

repositories {
    maven("https://maven.deftu.dev/releases")
}

dependencies {
    modImplementation("dev.deftu:textualizer:<VERSION>")
}

Replace <VERSION> with the version of the library you want to use.

Usage

You'll need to implement Language, LocalizationContext, and Localization in your project. This means you need to handle language metadata, translation loading, translation retrieval, placeholder replacement, and language switching.

Refer to the Minecraft-specific implementation for an example of how to do this.

}

Of course, replace <MINECRAFT VERSION> with the version of Minecraft you are developing for, <MOD LOADER> with the mod loader you are developing for, and <VERSION> with the version of the library you want to use.

Usage

Getting the current (selected in-game) language's context can be done like so:

import dev.deftu.textualizer.minecraft.MCLocalization;

LocalizationContext context = MCLocalization.current();

To obtain a translated string, you can use

import dev.deftu.textualizer.minecraft.MCLocalization;

LocalizationContext context = MCLocalization.current();
String text = context.get("com.example");

To obtain a translated string and replace your placeholders, you can use

import dev.deftu.textualizer.MCLocalization;

int number = 10;
LocalizationContext context = MCLocalization.current();
String text = context.get("com.example", number);
