FTB Quests Precision Localizer
by TimErmolt
FTB Quests Precision Localizer exports the language files of FTBQuests elements, keying each entry to the element's hexadecimal ID rather than a chapter-based number.
What it does
FTB Quests Precision Localizer writes language files for FTBQuests elements. The generated lang keys begin with ftbquests and are named after each element's hexadecimal ID, so a string can be traced back to its quest by searching the quest files for that ID. FTBQuests itself numbers elements by chapter, which can make it hard to tell which quest a given lang string belongs to; the hexadecimal scheme removes that step.
The export is started with a command that can be run in a world of the modpack. Output is written as a .json file in the FTBLang folder, located in the game instance's root folder, and a notification appears above the hotbar when the export succeeds. The command can list the available language filenames, and the mod supports modpacks that offer several difficulties, using the difficulty currently set or the normal pack options. The wiki covers the remaining arguments.
The mod is Forge-only and runs on the client alone, so servers do not need it. It is published for Minecraft 1.20.1, 1.20.2 and 1.20.3, with 2.2.0 as the latest file for 1.20.3, released on 2024-12-23 under the MIT License, and it is open source. Source code, an issue tracker and a wiki are public.

What the author says
When exporting FTBQ elements to language files, FTBQL uses an arbitrary quests-by-chapter numbering system for naming the lang keys (e.g. "chapter1.quest1"). Some developers may find this inconvenient to work with, as determining which quest a given lang string is associated with can be tricky. FTB Quests Precision…
