🔰 Basics

Better /help can show descriptions and other metadata for your commands or arguments. You do not need an API or soft dependency, only language keys in your mod.

How it works

Add keys to your language files at:

assets/<mod_id>/lang/<lang>.json

For example: assets/examplemod/lang/en_us.json.

On server startup, Better /help scans installed mods for those keys. Translations are resolved server-side, so players do not need Better /help or your mod on the client for descriptions and metadata to appear in /help.

Use your real mod id

Better /help gets your mod id from the mod loader.

1. Lang files go in assets/<your_mod_id>/lang/...
2. If a key includes a mod id (prefix, homepage suffix, etc.), it must be that same id

A mismatched mod id in the path or key is ignored. Omitting the mod id from the key is allowed, but not recommended because of translation key conflicts.

Next steps

• Add command or argument descriptions
• Add a homepage link
