'''Speech files''' are text files that define sentences which can be spoken by people in [[adventure mode]] and phrases used to name [[books]]. Most of them are found in the <code>data/vanilla/vanilla_text/objects</code> folder, though the creature specific files can be found in <code>data/vanilla/vanilla_creatures/objects</code>. Like other raw files, mods can replace or introduce new sentences.

Speech files are text files that define sentences which can be spoken by people in adventure mode and phrases used to name books. Most of them are found in the data/vanilla/vanilla_text/objects folder, though the creature specific files can be found in data/vanilla/vanilla_creatures/objects. Like other raw files, mods can replace or introduce new sentences.
