Advancement descriptions use unnecessary capitalization on generic resource names
The bug
Advancement descriptions use title-case for generic material names unnecessarily, since they are in the middle of a sentence. For things like mobs or structures, since they refer to unique, game-specific elements, it's more than ok to use capital letters — for example, "Enter a Bastion Remnant". But using capitalization on generic, unspecific materials is a bit unusual, since there's nothing special about them.

Advancement descriptions use title-case for generic material names unnecessarily, since they are in the middle of a sentence. For things like mobs or structures, since they refer to unique, game-specific elements, it's more than ok to use capital letters — for example, "Enter a Bastion Remnant". But using capitalization on generic, unspecific materials is a bit unusual, since there's nothing special about them.

Maybe as a side note to "Game element's names": Since 17w17b default advancements use translations, therefor the respective item / entity name could be inserted instead of having it in the translation as well.Marcono1234: That would not be a good idea. It might work in english, but a lot of languages require changes to the names depending on context.
These were partially done in 18w20b, along with a few other changes, per burger. All of the capitalization required ones were done, Ender Eye was corrected, and a few other things (spacing/periods) were handled; also
MC-117906was fixed. Enchanting Table was not changed, but that is the new canon name per the flattening. However the ones that were capitalized were not uncapitalized. I'm not sure whether I should mark this as fixed as such, since the first category hasn't happened.Most of the new advancements added in 20w20a are also affected, I added them to the list.
At some point this has been fixed for:
Also affects:
The 1.15 advancements descriptions all use incorrect capitalization:
Many of these are actually correct in-game:
Obsidian exists IRL so shouldn't be capitalised.
Beacons exist IRL, but I feel like the meaning is different in MC (?) so they should be capitalised.
Crying Obsidian does not exist IRL so should be capitalised.
Warped Fungus on a Stick does not exist IRL so should be capitalised.
Netherite does not exist IRL so should be capitalised.
Respawn Anchors do not exist IRL so should be capitalised.
Debris exists IRL, and sure it could be ancient, but the compound noun Ancient Debris is not a thing IRL so should be capitalised.
Most of the new things are intended. The rest will be fixed for the next snapshot. If any new issues come up, please create a new ticket.
The "Country Lode, Take Me Home" advancement's description is now "Use a compass on a Lodestone"
@PurPur5, that is covered by
MC-187546.Yes, but it is not marked as fixed here.
who said things that don't exist irl should be capitalized?
actually, things that don't exist irl are still not capitalized. they exist in an other world, so that's true. they shouldn't be capitalized
