Tag Translations for JEI
by J4gm
Tag Translations for JEI gives the item tags that Just Enough Items shows display names for, using translations of vanilla and convention tags.
What it does
Recent Fabric and NeoForge builds support localisation of Minecraft's tag system, including translations for tags. Tag Translations for JEI fills that gap for Just Enough Items, so tag entries shown in the item lists appear with translated names instead of raw identifiers. The translations cover the vanilla minecraft namespace and the convention c namespace.
The mod is client-side only, so a server does not need it and players join without installing it. It is packaged as a resource pack inside a mod container and is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 10 release versions, 1.21.5 – 26.1.2. Only English translations are provided; a player who wants another language can submit a pull request on GitHub.
The project is not open source. It is released under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 4.0 license, which governs use and distribution, and the source code and issue tracker are public. The author asks that questions about permissions and redistribution go through the license. The mod works alongside the JEI mod and other mods that use translated tags, such as Tag Tooltips.
