FAQ

Is MineGlot free?

The mod is free. You pay your own AI provider (OpenAI or Claude) for API usage.

Does it work on Hypixel / multiplayer?

It is client-side and does not change the server. But some servers restrict client mods — check the server rules before using it online.

Do other players see my translations?

No. Translations are shown only in your own chat. Sending a translated message is up to you (copy it, or use /translate and send it yourself).

Why is the first launch slow?

The language detector (Lingua) and the cache database load in the background on startup. It is faster afterwards.

Why did a translation appear instantly?

It was already cached (memory or RocksDB). Same text + same target language is reused without a new API call. Use /trs-clear to force a fresh one.

Which language does it translate to?

• Commands (/translate, /trs) → your target language.
• Incoming chat → your default language.

Set both in the GUI. See How It Works.

Nothing gets translated in chat

Most common cause: the sender is not on your target players list, or global translation is off. See Troubleshooting.

Is my API key safe?

It is stored locally in .minecraft/config/mineglot.cfg. Never share that file or logs that contain the key.

Can I use it on Forge 1.20 / Fabric?

Not as-is. This build targets Forge 1.8.9. A newer version would be a separate port.
