Change the fallback language

Use this guide to change the default language used when a player's client language is not supported by the plugin.

Preconditions

  • A Minecraft server with ClockTime installed.
  • Access to the server file system to edit configuration files.

Changing the Fallback Language

  1. Open plugins/ClockTime/config.yml in a text editor.
  2. Locate the fallback-language configuration key.
  3. Update the value to your preferred standard ISO 639-1 language code (e.g., de for German, pt for Portuguese, es for Spanish):

    fallback-language: "de"
    
  4. Save the file.

  5. Restart your Minecraft server to apply the changes.

Verification

To verify that the fallback language has changed:

  1. Connect to your Minecraft server.
  2. Set your Minecraft client language to a language not supported by the plugin (e.g., Tagalog or a custom test locale).
  3. Right-click a clock in your main hand.
  4. Verify that the time message in chat is displayed in your configured fallback language.
