Text instructions

Or you can follow this guide. Yeah, I know there is a lot of text, but I guarantee you that it's easy (and can be done in less than one minute)

Create a working directory

Just create a directory somewhere

Get the minecraft language file

To get a Minecraft language file (that is not en_us), follow these steps:

1. Get in your .minecraft/assets/indexes folder and open the file that is named the desired version.
2. Search for your language code (e.g. de_de or fr_fr). There should be 2 results: One for the realms language file and one for the normal language file.
3. Copy the hash code and search for it in the .minecraft/assets folder. The hash code is the filename of the language file.

Once done, copy the language file into your working directory

Building the application

This can be done once. Doing it each time ensure you to have the latest version of the application.

1. Clone the repository to your computer.
2. Go inside the project folder (where ShopChestLangGenerator project files are located)
3. Open a command prompt. Then type gradlew assembleDist on Windows or ./gradlew assembleDist on Linux and macOS
4. Go to the app/build/distributions folder
5. Decompress the archive of your choice, either the tar or the zip one, it does not matter and move the app folder into your working directory

Generate the output file

1. Move your language input file into the app/bin folder
2. Go to the app/bin folder and open a command prompt
3. Type app.bat <LanguageInputFile> on Windows or ./app <LanguageInputFile> on Linux and macOS. Don't forget to replace <LanguageInputFile> by the actual name of your language input file.

You're done ! It should have generated the desired language file.
If not, it should have generated an error message in your command prompt. Then, follow the error instructions or open an issue on GitHub.
