.lang file

.lang files can be added for any supported languages to add use friendly labels and tooltips to shader options. All .lang files should be located in the shaders/lang folder inside the shaderpack. Files should be named <lang_id>.lang where <lang_id> is replaced by the language ID, for example en_us.lang.

Option Labels

Option labels replace a shader option’s name in the shader options screen. They can be specified with option.<option_name> = <label> in a lang file. Replace <option_name> with the options name as defined in shaders.properties, and <label> with the label to be displayed in the shader options screen. For example:

option.TAA = Temporal Anti-aliasing
option.SSBO = Ambient Occlusion

Value Labels

Value labels replace the display name of a specific value of a non-boolean shader option. They can be specified with value.<option_name>.<value> = <value_label> in a lang file. Replace <option_name> with the options name as defined in shaders.properties, <value> with value to replace, and <value_label> with the user-friendly value label to be displayed in the shader options screen. For example:

value.Shadow_Type.0=off
value.Shadow_Type.1=unfiltered
value.Shadow_Type.2=PCF
value.Shadow_Type.3=PCSS

A prefix and suffix can be added to before and after the values of an option with prefix.<option_name> = <prefix> and suffix.<option_name> = <suffix> in a lang file. Replace <option_name> with the options name as defined in shaders.properties, and <prefix> or <suffix> with the user-friendly value label to be displayed in the shader options screen. For example the following surrounds a value in parenthesis:

prefix.Shadow_Type = (
suffix.Shadow_Type = )

Option Tooltips

Option tooltips are shown in a tooltip when the user hovers over the shader option. They can be specified with option.<option_name>.comment = <comment> in a lang file. Replace <option_name> with the options name as defined in shaders.properties, and <comment> with the tooltip comment to be displayed in the shader options screen. For example:

option.TAA.comment = Smooths jagged edges
option.SSBO.comment = Adds shadows in the corners of objects

A tooltip can be added to the profile button with the with profile.comment = <comment> in a .lang file. Replace <comment> with the tooltip comment to be displayed in the shader options screen. For example:

profile.comment = Potato - runs on anything. Low - better than potato. Medium - quality/performance balance. High - good quality, expensive. Ultra - for the ballers.
