Language File (mostly called “lang file”) is a file usually fitted with the .lang extension which stores translation strings for items, blocks, dimensions etc.
It follows a pretty simple format of one translation per line in the following format Translation Key=Localized Name
Translation Key
The translation keys mostly follow the following format : <type>.<namespace>.<path>. For example dim.tropicraft.tropics.entering or item.tropicraft.bamboo.name
When writing the language file you can use the @ placeholder instead of having to write your mod’s namespace, this placeholder will get replaced with the namespace that the lang file was discovered in. So instead of typing tile.examplemod.example_block.name you can type tile.@.example_block.name
