# 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**
- **Java** (e.g. “Java Virtual Machine”)
- **Realm / Realms**
- **Snapshot / Snapshots**
- **PvP**
- **The Nether**, **The End**, **Overworld**
- **Ender** (always capitalized)
### Mob names in sentences
- **Generic mobs are lowercase** in sentences:
- villager, breeze, phantom, zombie, skeleton, etc.
- **Boss / titled mobs stay capitalized** everywhere:
- **Ender Dragon**
- **Wither**
- **Elder Guardian**
Examples:
- “Kill a breeze with a deflected breeze-shot wind charge”
- “Follow an eye of Ender”
- “Look at the Ender Dragon through a spyglass”
### Items, blocks, and variants
- Items and blocks use sentence case:
- “Weathered copper golem statue”
- “Block of amethyst”
- Canonical entity names are lowercased when used adjectivally:
- “copper golem statue” (not “Copper Golem statue”)
### Other rules
- Difficulty names are lowercase in sentences:
- peaceful, easy, normal, hard
- Keyboard keys are capitalized:
- Enter, Escape, Shift
- Acronyms remain uppercase:
- TNT, CPU, GPU, ID, GUI
### Creative and artistic content untouched
The following are intentionally preserved:
- Music disc titles

- Painting titles
- Lore-style proper names
