A lightweight resource pack for Minecraft Java Edition 1.21.11 that converts the default English (US) language file from widespread Title Case to consistent, readable sentence case.
This pack replaces only en_us.json. No textures, models, sounds, or gameplay mechanics are changed.
Minecraft’s default UI capitalizes nearly everything (“Diamond Sword”, “Monster Hunter”), which is visually loud and inconsistent with normal English usage.
This pack aims to:
- Improve readability
- Make UI text feel more natural
- Preserve Minecraft’s established terminology and proper nouns
- Stay stylistically consistent across the entire game
Only text capitalization is modified. Specifically:
- Item and block names
- UI labels, menus, and buttons
- Advancement titles and descriptions
- Tooltips, subtitles, and system messages
No wording, punctuation, or formatting logic is altered.
This pack follows a strict and consistent rule set:
- Most strings use sentence case:
- “Diamond sword”
- “Pause menu”
- “Monster hunter”
- “Crafting a new look”
The following always remain capitalized:
- Minecraft, Mojang, Microsoft
- Java (e.g. “Java Virtual Machine”)
- Realm / Realms
- Snapshot / Snapshots
- PvP
- The Nether, The End, Overworld
- Ender (always capitalized)
- Generic mobs are lowercase in sentences:
- villager, breeze, phantom, zombie, skeleton, etc.
- Boss / titled mobs stay capitalized everywhere:
- Ender Dragon
- Wither
- Elder Guardian
Examples:
- “Kill a breeze with a deflected breeze-shot wind charge”
- “Follow an eye of Ender”
- “Look at the Ender Dragon through a spyglass”
- Items and blocks use sentence case:
- “Weathered copper golem statue”
- “Block of amethyst”
- Canonical entity names are lowercased when used adjectivally:
- “copper golem statue” (not “Copper Golem statue”)
- Difficulty names are lowercase in sentences:
- peaceful, easy, normal, hard
- Keyboard keys are capitalized:
- Enter, Escape, Shift
- Acronyms remain uppercase:
- TNT, CPU, GPU, ID, GUI
The following are intentionally preserved:
- Music disc titles
- Artist names
- Painting titles
- Lore-style proper names
- Minecraft version: Java Edition 1.21.11
- Mod loaders: Vanilla, Fabric, Forge, NeoForge, Quilt
