I am in the process of updating my 1.10 mod to 1.11. I used uppercase and lowercase letters for model and texture names, but as of 1.11 it all needs to be lowercase (for some reason...)

I found a program that could bulk rename all the files to lowercase, so that is done. Now I *just* need to change all the contents of the files to lowercase.

Do you know of any program/command that can convert entire folder contents to lowercase?

I have like 1 million model files, so editing them all by hand would be a pain...

 

 

You could write the program very easily by scanning through the file and grabbing it a character at a time.

Well I guess I could, I just have no clue how to or where to even start... I guess I'll try googling some stuff

This could work

Mojang is enforcing it because Capitilization screws things up.  Windows sees Uppercase and lowercase as being The Same Thing, but the zip format (jar files are zip files with a different extension) does not.  By enforcing lower case and only lower case, this problem goes away magically.

Ah, I see. Yes, that has actually happened to me. I had named some files differently while working on them, but when I built it into a jar the textures didn't show up ingame.

Note, the CONTENTS of resources don't need to be lowercase, just the file path.

You are talking about the file path in the model files, right? Because that would mean that I have to change every file, as I said.

 

Anyway, I have already written a script that does the job just fine.

Have a look at this article for how to read from files in Java - you can read each character and then convert it to lower case.

 

import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.nio.file.Files;

public class ReadFile_Files_ReadAllBytes {
  public static void main(String [] pArgs) throws IOException {
    String fileName = "c:\\temp\\sample-10KB.txt";
    File file = new File(fileName);

    byte [] fileBytes = Files.readAllBytes(file.toPath());
    char singleChar;
    char singleCharLower;
    for(byte b : fileBytes) {
      singleChar = (char) b;
      singleCharLower = Character.toLowerCase(singleChar);
      System.out.print(singleCharLower);
    }
  }
}
