Learn English
Learn English is a Fabric mod that removes the option to use non-English languages in Minecraft Java Edition, so the game stays in English.
What it does
The mod takes away the choice of other interface languages, leaving English as the only language the game can use. Players who run it see Minecraft in English on every screen, which the author presents as a way to practice the language while playing. Only the client needs the mod, so a server can run without it and players join on their own copy.
Learn English is open source under the MIT License and is published only for Fabric, across nine release versions, 1.20 – 1.21.1. Its latest file, 2024.7.2, targets 1.21.1. Optional support for Language Reload is listed, and the ModMenu Badges Lib is bundled inside the jar rather than installed separately.
Key features
English-only interface
Non-English language options are removed, so every menu and label in the game appears in English.
Practice while playing
Staying in English during play gives players regular exposure to the language inside a game they already use.
Bundled badge library
The ModMenu Badges Lib ships inside the mod, so badges show in the mod menu without a separate step.
Open contribution model
The source is public and the project accepts pull requests from forks, following a standard feature branch workflow.

Use cases
Language practice
A player who wants more English exposure keeps the game in English for every session, instead of switching languages to check settings.
Who it’s for: Players learning English who want the game interface to stay in that language, and players who prefer a single language across their Minecraft installation.
How it compares
WebsiteMod is also a Fabric, client-side only mod under the MIT License, but it targets 1.20.6 – 1.21.11 and adds a website feature instead of changing the language. Red Discord Presence is client-side only and open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, covering 1.19.3 – 1.20.2, and it shows Discord status rather than language settings.
