lowercase or camelCase ?

[LemADEC]

I've seen multiple variations on how to name things in a mod regarding whether lowercase is mandatory or not. Are the following true?

- in the @mod or mcmod.info, modid should always be lower case (especially from MC1.11)

- in a ResourceLocation, resourceDomain should always be lower case

- in a ResourceLocation, resourcePath can be any case provided it match with the JAR content

- in a unlocalizedName, the string can be any case provided it match with the lang file content

- in a command, it's only 'recommended' to use lowercase command names

- in a DamageSource, according to vanilla 1.10.2, damageType can be camelCase

- in a sounds.json, the keys should be lower case

- in a PropertyEnum, the name should be lower case

- in a PropertyEnum, the values should be lower case

This will be enforced in 1.11, at the moment it's only a recommendation.

 

- in a ResourceLocation, resourceDomain should always be lower case

The domain is already converted to lowercase when you create a

ResourceLocation

.

 

- in a ResourceLocation, resourcePath can be any case provided it match with the JAR content

As diesieben07 said, 1.11 will require all paths in a resource pack (which mod assets are added as) to be lowercase.

 

- in a unlocalizedName, the string can be any case provided it match with the lang file content

Correct.

 

- in a command, it's only 'recommended' to use lowercase command names

Correct.

 

- in a DamageSource, according to vanilla 1.10.2, damageType can be camelCase

Correct.

 

- in a sounds.json, the keys should be lower case

This isn't currently required, but it may be in 1.11 as

SoundEvent

s store their name as a

ResourceLocation

.

 

- in a PropertyEnum, the name should be lower case

- in a PropertyEnum, the values should be lower case

This isn't required, but the name and values will converted to lowercase when used in a

ModelResourceLocation

.

Since all assets paths needs to be lower case in MC1.11, and item models use registry name, I guess all registry name will also need to be lower case?

According to the wiki, registry names for blocks, items and entities will be case insensitive and autocomplete will use lowercase letters.
