Minecraft Translate Mod

This is a Real-time Chat Translation Mod for Minecraft utilizing the Google Gemini API.
It is a mod that I started making for personal use... sort of.
The biggest reason I use it is that it understands slang and abbreviations.

Key Features

1. Real-time Incoming Translation

• Automatically detects messages from other players in the chat window.
• Hovering your mouse over a message displays the translated text as a tooltip.
• Allows you to conveniently check translations without altering the original game chat logs.
• You can easily toggle it on and off using a shortcut key ( Default : O )

2. Outgoing Message Suggestions

• If you type a message in the chat input field and wait for a moment (default 3 seconds), a translated sentence is suggested.
• Press the Tab key to immediately input the suggested translation.
• You can cycle the target language order: Korean -> English -> Japanese.

3. Configuration

• Model Selection: You can choose various models such as Gemini 2.0 Flash Lite, 2.0 Flash, and 2.5 Flash.
• API Key Management: You can enter and save your API Key in the in-game settings screen.
• Customization:
  • Prompt Settings: You can set prompt modes to save tokens.
  • Token Limit: You can adjust the response length (100 ~ 5000).
  • Suggestion Delay: You can adjust the time it takes for a translation suggestion to appear after typing (1s ~ 10s).

Installation

This mod requires Fabric Loader and Fabric API.

1. Install Fabric Loader. (Match your Minecraft version)
2. Place Fabric API into the mods folder. (Version used during development: 0.138.3+1.21.10)
3. Place the Translate Mod file downloaded from here into the mods folder.

Usage

1. After joining the game, go to ESC -> Options -> Translate Mod Settings.
2. Click the Set API Key button and enter the key issued from Google AI Studio.
3. Adjust the desired Model and Settings.
   • Note: Using models other than Gemini 2.0 Flash Lite may result in higher costs or slower speeds.

Notes

• To use this mod, a Google Gemini API Key is required. You can issue one at Google AI Studio.
• Costs may be charged to your Google account depending on API usage, so please check the pricing policy.
• • Performance Note: You can use the free tier, but it is extremely slow and frustrating. In my tests, 2,000 requests cost approximately 10 KRW.
