Chinese with Pinyin

Minecraft Chinese with Pinyin (v1.2.1)

Welcome to the v1.2.1 release of the Minecraft Chinese Pinyin Resource Pack.

This release introduces persistent configuration via a .config file, named Minecraft color support for Pinyin annotations, and preserves the full suite of Java and Bedrock Edition packs, regional phonetics, and learning modes introduced in v1.2.0. What's New in v1.2.1

1. Configuration File Support (.config)

   Persistent Defaults: You can now define your preferred Pinyin annotation color, phonetic style, and study modes in a project .config file instead of passing CLI arguments on every generator run. Format Flexibility: Accepts standard INI/key-value pairs (with # and ; comments) as well as JSON formatting. Precedence Rules: CLI options (--pinyin-color, --no-color, --pinyin-style, --recall) cleanly take priority over .config settings.

2. Named Minecraft Colors

   Pinyin annotation colors can now be specified using intuitive color names both in .config and via the --pinyin-color CLI flag: gold (§6), yellow (§e), gray (§7), aqua (§b), green (§a), red (§c), light_purple (§d), white (§f), and more. Disabling color annotations is supported with none, off, or false.

Features from v1.2.0

Minecraft Bedrock Edition Export (.mcpack): Complete cross-platform Bedrock resource pack with official vanilla string translations and 100% English slash command retention.
Regional Phonetics & Custom In-Game Languages:
    中文 (注音) (zh_zy) with character-spaced Bopomofo annotations.
    廣東話 (粵拼) (zh_yue) with offline LSHK Jyutping dictionary.
Muted Pinyin Styling (§7 Gray): Pronunciation annotations appear in clean subtle gray §7(...)§r so Chinese characters remain visually distinct and dominant.
Learning Modes & Multi-Variant Builder: Tone Numbers mode (--pinyin-style numbers), Character Recall mode (--recall), and multi-pack generation (--all-variants).
1.21.4 Pale Garden Support: Phonetic polyphone overrides for Creaking (嘎枝), Creaking Heart (嘎枝之心), Pale Garden (苍白之园), Eyeblossom (眼眸花), and Breeze (旋风人).
