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:

• Most strings use sentence case:
  • “Diamond sword”
  • “Pause menu”

Proper nouns preserved

The following always remain capitalized:

• Java (e.g. “Java Virtual Machine”)
