Language Files

When creating custom bees, a language file needs to be created and entries provided so all corresponding items and blocks have proper names otherwise they will look something like this:
item.resourcefulbees.blaze_honeycomb

Note

For new mod installs, run the game at least once so all necessary config files and folders can be generated

Locate the resourcefulbees config folder inside the main config folder.
Before we begin the process of adding a language file we need to verify that specific resource and data pack files have been generated.
Inside the resourcefulbees folder there should be another folder labeled resources
Open this folder and verify there is a file inside called pack.mcmeta - this file is needed for the loading of the language files. If you do not see this file then reload the mod/pack to generate it.
Inside the resources folder we need to add the following nested folders: assets/resourcefulbees/lang
The structure should appear as the following image:
Inside the lang folder, creating a file called en_us.json will create an English US language file.
You can specify a different language using any one of the language codes found here under the Available languages section.

Every custom bee added should have language entries similar to the Blaze example below:

{
   "block.resourcefulbees.blaze_honeycomb_block": "Blaze Honeycomb Block",
   "item.resourcefulbees.blaze_honeycomb": "Blaze Honeycomb",
   "item.resourcefulbees.blaze_spawn_egg": "Blaze Bee Spawn Egg",
   "entity.resourcefulbees.blaze_bee": "Blaze Bee"
}

You can either restart the game or use F3+T to reload assets and have the language file take effect.

Note

You do not need multiple language files. You only need one with new lines added for each custom bee:

{
   "block.resourcefulbees.blaze_honeycomb_block": "Blaze Honeycomb Block",
   "item.resourcefulbees.blaze_honeycomb": "Blaze Honeycomb",
   "item.resourcefulbees.blaze_spawn_egg": "Blaze Bee Spawn Egg",
   "entity.resourcefulbees.blaze_bee": "Blaze Bee",
   "block.resourcefulbees.pig_honeycomb_block": "Pig Honeycomb Block",
   "item.resourcefulbees.pig_honeycomb": "Pig Honeycomb",
   "item.resourcefulbees.pig_spawn_egg": "Pig Bee Spawn Egg",
   "entity.resourcefulbees.pig_bee": "Pig Bee"
}

English Lang Generator

As a convenience feature, we have provided an English Lang generator that will output a language file in the proper location with translations for every custom bee used. In the client.toml config file is an option to enable or disable the generator. This generator only needs to be run once after all custom bees have been added.

Note

The generator uses the .json file names for generating the translations.
