LegacyTranslations for Minecraft Beta 1.7.3
LegacyTranslations Babric Edition fundamentally changes the localization approach in the classic Minecraft Beta 1.7.3 version. Instead of the standard language system provided by Mojang, the mod implements an advanced language pack loading method that functions similarly to texture packs.
Project Contributors
- Pioneer @Roadhog360, who created the original Legacy Translation system for New Frontier Craft.
- Project founder @Birevan, whose works served as the starting point and provided basic textures and files.
- Bug fixer and documentation developer @[NFC] Vivian, who ported the Legacy Translation system to the standard game version.
- Developer @Telvarost, who performed the Fabric platform porting.
Innovative Localization System
The modification introduces a completely redesigned language handling mechanism. Users are provided with the ability to create their own language sets and edit existing ones - similar to configuring texture packs. This opens up amazing opportunities for the community to create and improve localizations for retro versions of the game.
Language Packs
An initial collection of language sets for babric and StationAPI can be obtained from a specialized GitHub repository. These packages will be your first steps in mastering the extended localization system.
Character Support
The system has been improved: the list of characters available for use in the Beta game has been expanded. This increases potential for translation into various languages compared to the original game version. Currently, left-to-right character-based languages are supported, but future updates plan to implement:
- Full Unicode support
- Right-to-left language capabilities
Compatibility and Installation
Initially, the mod does not include ready-made translations - all of them require adaptation to guarantee compatibility with the LegacyTranslations system. Users can either use existing materials from the New Frontier Craft project (with respect to copyright) or create their own localizations.
LegacyTranslations Babric Edition represents the first implementation of the system for the Fabric platform and was developed without editing the game's base classes. Note that compatibility with StationAPI is currently in flux due to recent changes in language file formats.
