Translations and dialogs

Translations

Write the same text in several languages, and each player sees the one their game is set to.

items/lang/texts.yml

my_texts:
  type: translations
  en_us:
    item.myserver.ruby: "Ruby"
    item.myserver.ruby.lore: "A polished gemstone."
  de_de:
    item.myserver.ruby: "Rubin"
    item.myserver.ruby.lore: "Ein polierter Edelstein."

Use them anywhere text goes, with <lang:key>:

ruby:
  name: "<red><lang:item.myserver.ruby>"
  lore:
    - "<gray><lang:item.myserver.ruby.lore>"
  texture: ruby.png

Locales are Minecraft’s language codes: en_us, de_de, fr_fr, pt_br and so on. Players whose language has no text for a key see the en_us text. Several files can add to the same language.

Dialogs

A dialog is a screen with text, buttons and input fields (Minecraft 1.21.6 and later). Write it in Minecraft’s own dialog format under dialog:. Minecraft checks it when the config loads.

items/dialogs/rules.yml

rules:
  type: dialog
  dialog:
    type: minecraft:notice
    title: "Server rules"
    body:
      - type: minecraft:plain_message
        contents: "1. Be kind.\n2. No griefing.\n3. Have fun."
    action:
      label: "I agree"

Open it with the [dialog] action:

rule_book:
  material: book
  events:
    right-click:
      - "[dialog] rules"

Dialogs reload with /lodeitems reload, no restart needed.
