🌍Languages

Modern BedWars is multi-language out of the box. Each player automatically receives messages in their Minecraft client locale, falling back to en_US for any missing key.

Where the files live

Translations are per-module .properties files under each module's languages/ folder:

plugins/bedwars-lobby/languages/messages_en_US.properties
plugins/bedwars-lobby/languages/messages_it_IT.properties
plugins/bedwars/languages/messages_en_US.properties
plugins/bedwars/languages/messages_it_IT.properties
plugins/bedwars-proxy/languages/messages_en_US.properties
plugins/bedwars-proxy/languages/messages_it_IT.properties

English (en_US) and Italian (it_IT) ship by default.

Adding a new language

Example — French (fr_FR):

1. Copy messages_en_US.properties → messages_fr_FR.properties.

2. Translate the values (keys stay in English).

3. Drop the file in the same languages/ folder. The plugin discovers it on reload.

Repeat per module you want translated.

The standalone service logs in English only, by design — operators read those logs, not players.
