LanguageCraft

“Every item has a name. Say it.”

Fabric · Minecraft 1.21.1 · offline speech recognition

You pick up a diamond. The world waits. You have to say diamond — or diamante, diamant, ダイヤモンド.

Get it right, and the item is yours. Get it wrong, and it’s gone.

LanguageCraft turns loot, crafting and chests into language practice. The microphone stays on this PC: nothing is uploaded.

Features

• 18 languages — English, Portuguese, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Dutch, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Russian, Polish, Greek and Arabic

• Every vanilla item — names come from Minecraft’s official translations

• Pickup, crafting and chests — ground items are held; crafted and looted items go into your inventory and are removed if you fail

• English IPA — Dirt → /dɜrt/ · Poppy → /ˈpɑpi/

• Learned items — pass once, and that language won’t ask again (you can forget them in the menu)

• Queue — pick up a bunch of items and keep playing; you are never stuck

• Score 0–100 — Excellent / Good / Almost / Incorrect

• Modes — classic, random language, speed, learning (you never lose the item), hardcore

• K menu — language, microphone, voice test, difficulty, progress

How to play

1. Pick up an item — or craft one, or take one from a chest.

2. Press R and say the name.

3. Pass → you keep it. Fail → it’s gone.

RAM

Minimum:

• Singleplayer: 4 GB (vanilla + 1 small language)

Recommended:

• Singleplayer: 6 GB (modpack, or Greek)

Only the model in use is loaded (~100–300 MB). The rest stay on disk.

Install

1. Fabric 1.21.1 instance + Fabric API

2. mods/ → languagecraft-1.0.0.jar

3. Extract the Vosk model for your language into:

<instance>\config\languagecraft\models\

Prism / CurseForge / Modrinth: the instance folder, not the global Minecraft folder.

Do not rename the folder. It is extracted correctly when you see final.mdl (or am\final.mdl) inside.

Voice models

You only need the language you will play. Brazilian and European Portuguese share one zip; US and UK English do too.

Notes

• Audio never leaves this PC. The mod does not download models by itself and does not save recordings.

• Do not use OptiFine — on Fabric use Sodium (and Iris for shaders).

• JEI: the R key conflicts. Rebind one of them in Controls.

• Multiplayer: the mod must be on client and server.

• Anvil, enchanting table, grindstone, smithing, cartography and creative do not start a challenge (so your gear is not deleted).

• Windows: Settings → Privacy → Microphone → allow the launcher.
