How to Fix Untranslated Items by Starting a Fresh World

Why Existing Items Stay in English

When playing with the Matcha Flavoured datapack, custom items—such as the custom weapons, tools, armor sets, magical books, shields, and clay totems—often have their display names baked into the item data at the moment they are generated. If you add the Matcha Flavoured Русификатор pack to a world that is already in progress, older items stored in your barrels and inventories may keep their original English names.

Setting Up a New World Properly

To ensure every single item and block gets its correct Russian name from the very beginning, you need to load the translation before generating the world.

1. From the main menu, open Options and go to Resource Packs.

2. Activate the Matcha Flavoured Русификатор pack and place it directly above the main resource pack before opening any singleplayer menus.

3. Return to the title screen, select Singleplayer, and click Create New World.

4. Go to the More tab and click Data Packs.

5. Add the Matcha Flavoured datapack to the active column, ensuring the translation resource pack is already running in the background.

6. Create the world. All newly generated loot, advancement notifications, and chat messages will now appear in Russian immediately.
