❓ FAQ

Where do I find configs?

There are no configs. The mod is meant to be played as-is. For changes, use mods like WackyDB or Expand World.

Does the mod require server sync?

No, it works client-side only.

Are translations synced?

No, translation files are local-only.

I see a lot of [tag_something_something]!

This means translations are missing. Check the config folder:

Path: config/BalrondArsenalReborn-translation/English.json

How do I add translations?

Copy English.json and rename to a supported language (e.g., Polish.json)
Add entries like:

"tag_thswordsilver_bal_description": "Mój nowy wspaniały opis"

Can I use this to translate other mods?

Yes! Add tag mappings like:

"somename_something": "My translation"

This only works if the other mod loads after Arsenal Reborn.
