Change which language appears as the primary item name
Customizing the additional language
While English (US) is the default primary language for item names, you can change this through the mod's configuration. The additionalLanguage setting controls which language code is used.
How it works
The mod always displays item names in two languages:
1. Your current game language setting
2. The language set in additionalLanguage (default: en_us)
By changing additionalLanguage to a different language code, you swap which language appears as the "additional" one. For example, setting it to de_de would show German as the secondary language instead of English.
Finding language codes
Minecraft uses standard language codes like:
en_us(English US)en_gb(English GB)fr_fr(French)de_de(German)es_es(Spanish)
When to use this
This is useful if you primarily play in one language but want consistent names in a different language for searching or following guides.
