New Features

Modular Translation System

A complete replacement of the old Messages: block in config.yml.

• New folders:
  • /core/messages/origins/ -> default language files
  • /core/messages/custom/ -> user overrides
• Automatic synchronization of missing keys.
• Supports:
  • single messages
  • lists (lines:)
  • sections (header: + lines:)
• Everything visible inside Minecraft is now translatable.

A legacy config warning will appear if the old Messages: section is still present.

• New commands:
  • /vct expansion info <id>
  • /vct expansion enable <id>
  • /vct expansion disable <id>
  • /vct expansion reload <id>
  • /vct expansion reloadall

The new official VCT expansions are in the works, so stay tuned for our announcements! 👀
