Sentence case language pack

A lightweight resource pack for Minecraft Java Edition 1.21.11 that converts the default English (US) language file from widespread Title Case to consistent, readable sentence case.

This pack replaces only en_us.json. No textures, models, sounds, or gameplay mechanics are changed.

Purpose

Minecraft’s default UI capitalizes nearly everything (“Diamond Sword”, “Monster Hunter”), which is visually loud and inconsistent with normal English usage.

This pack aims to:

Improve readability
Make UI text feel more natural
Preserve Minecraft’s established terminology and proper nouns
Stay stylistically consistent across the entire game

What this pack changes

Only text capitalization is modified. Specifically:

Item and block names
UI labels, menus, and buttons
Advancement titles and descriptions
Tooltips, subtitles, and system messages

No wording, punctuation, or formatting logic is altered.

Capitalization rules used

This pack follows a strict and consistent rule set:

Sentence case

Most strings use sentence case:
“Diamond sword”
“Pause menu”
“Monster hunter”
“Crafting a new look”

Proper nouns preserved

The following always remain capitalized:

Minecraft, Mojang, Microsoft

Realm / Realms
Snapshot / Snapshots

Mob names in sentences

Generic mobs are lowercase in sentences:
villager, breeze, phantom, zombie, skeleton, etc.

Examples:

“Kill a breeze with a deflected breeze-shot wind charge”

“Weathered copper golem statue”
