Don't you know this: You want to play a little Minecraft, but then you realize that you still have to learn vocab for school. With this mod, you can do this in-game!
Before you can learn the vocab, you have to write it down into a .json file. Here is how you can do this:
vocab.txt. It should look something like this:question
answer
hello 👋
Hallo
What means "go" in German?
gehen
Important: You can write anything you want as question or answer, eg. emojis, semicolons, special letters like èéêë etc. Watch out that the section sign (§) acts as a formatting code. Only use one line for the question, then one line for the answer, then an empty line, then again one line for the question... . Otherwise the mod has trouble reading the file.
config folder. (The config folder can be found in the same directory as the mods folder. If you use the Modrinth launcher, you find it when clicking on the three dots on the top of the instance > Open folder > config. If you haven't ever started your modpack before, the folder has not been generated yet. In this case, start your game once without the mod installed.)/voc load_txt. If there already exists a vocab.json file, the mod will ask you to remove it. Important: Don't delete vocab.json files that you still need! You should save older files in a seperate folder, so you can use them again another time. After saving (or deleting/renaming) the file, execute /voc load_txt again.vocab.json file should have been created. If not, try this:Troubleshooting:
vocab.txt?vocab.txt file really inside the config folder?vocab.txt correct (like in the example above)?If there are still questions or problems, feel free to join my DIscord server, where I can help you.
Now you can start learning! Here is how to do so:
When you are ingame, the mod will ask you a random question from your vocab.json file every few minutes. This is configurable, see List of Commands for more.
To answer the question, execute the command /voc a [answer] and write your answer.
You should watch out for this:
"answer")vocab.json file, as it can be very annoying to type them.If you don't know the answer, you can skip it with /voc skip.
/voc enable: Enables the mod.
/voc disable: Disables the mod.
/voc a [answer]//voc skip: See Using the mod
/voc cycle_time [seconds]: Changes the interval at which the mod asks questions.
/voc stats: Shows a statistic of the questions you have been asked, for example how many questions you answered right or wrong.
/voc load_txt: See Setting up vocab.json
Blockabulary doesn't require any additional mods. It is fully client-side, so there are no problems with using it on servers.
