Description

Bountysource

I wanted see customization messages, eg when the command does not exist or when the version player does not match the version of the server.

There is a $15 open bounty on this issue. Add to the bounty at Bountysource.

Research direction
The issue requests internationalization for server messages, such as command not found errors. The repository is Glowstone, a Minecraft server written in Java. To start, investigate the current message system: likely it uses hardcoded strings or a simple resource bundle. Look at files like 'src/main/java/net/glowstone/...' for message definitions. There is a bounty on Bountysource but no linked PRs. The issue is old and lacks clarity, so further discussion with maintainers is needed to define scope and message keys. Consider using Java's ResourceBundle or a similar approach for locale specific messages.
