Texture Locale Redirector

by Wulian233

With Texture Locale Redirector installed, a resource pack can carry textures for several languages, and the game shows the one that matches the active locale.

What it does

The mod extends the vanilla resource loading mechanism so that a single resource pack can hold language-specific textures. Localized files are stored under assets, in a folder for each language code such as zh_cn for Simplified Chinese or ja_jp for Japanese, while the relative path of a texture must match the original texture path it replaces.

Its purpose is to stop localized textures that contain text from changing the look of the game for players who use other languages. Only the texture for the current language is loaded. Changing the language clears the cache and reloads resources, so the new textures appear at once.

The mod is client-side only, so only the client needs it and servers run without it. Installation needs Fabric, Forge or NeoForge, and files cover 1.20 – 26.3 across 24 release versions. The code is released under the MIT License, and the source code and issue tracker are linked publicly.

Key features

  1. Language-specific textures

    A resource pack can hold separate texture sets per language, so each player sees the variant for their own locale.

  2. Vanilla-style loading

    The redirect runs inside the vanilla resource loading path, so packs need no special code beyond the folder layout.

  3. Cache with reload on change

    An advanced cache cuts repeated disk reads, and it is cleared whenever the language changes or resources reload.

  4. Negligible performance cost

    Redirection is lightweight, so the extra lookup has little effect on game speed.

Questions

Does Texture Locale Redirector need to be on the server?

No. It is installed on the player's side alone, so servers need nothing.

Which loaders does Texture Locale Redirector support?

Fabric, Forge and NeoForge. Builds for 26.3 are available on each loader, and the latest Forge file is for 1.20.3.

How does a resource pack switch between languages?

The pack stores localized textures under the assets folder, using the language code as the folder name. The game then loads the set that matches the current language.
