- Interactive Button: Appends a
[Translate](or localized) button to messages for manual translation on click.
- Dynamic Localization: The UI and chat buttons update based on your selected primary language.
- Target Language Indicator: Displays the target language code (e.g.,
(TR),(EN)) next to the translation. - High Compatibility: Optimized for Minecraft 1.21 and above (1.21+).

- Async Execution: API calls are handled asynchronously to ensure zero impact on game performance (TPS/FPS).

Projects on Modrinth are automatically available through a Maven repository for use with JVM build tools such as Gradle. To learn more about the Modrinth Maven API, click here.
Note: When available, you should use the creator's maven repo instead as it will have transitive dependency information that the Modrinth Maven API does not. You may also end up with duplicate dependencies if you use a mix of Modrinth and non-Modrinth Maven repositories for your dependencies, because the group identifier will be different when served through the Modrinth Maven API.
