en_us.lang not working

[Arkyo]

in assets/{modid}/lang/en_us.lang

 

I wrote 

Quote

item.Bit.name=Bit

 

But it is not working.

I find Forge completely lacks information of how to write a en_us.lang

It has to match the registry name for your item, and I think it needs to be all lower-case. So if you registered your item it should have registry name "bit" not "Bit" and you need to match that with "item.bit.name=Bit".

 

Also the name of the lang file depends on the format version in pack.mcmeta file. If you have "pack_format": 3 then it will be en_us.lang but otherwise it will be the older en_US.lang.

This is probably because you can look at all the other lang files within your Minecraft jar or look in assets.forge.lang within your workspace. The problem you might be having is that you do not have a pack.mcmeta file, if you do not forge will switch to a legacy version that requires your english lang file to be called en_US.lang.

No and no.

Oops I meant the unlocalized name. I tend to always make my registry name and unlocalized the same (of course not necessary).
