      tl;dr

      The captioning of the UI of the container blocks is inconsistent, an appropriate naming may guide new players better through the game

      The bug

      Current captions

      Most of the captions are the block names:

      • container.hopper = Item Hopper 
      • container.dispenser = Dispenser 
      • container.dropper = Dropper 
      • container.furnace = Furnace
      • container.smoker = Smoker
      • container.lectern = Lectern (has currently no UI) 
      • container.blast_furnace = Blast furnace
      • container.*chest = * Chest 
      • container.shulker_box = Shulker Box 
      • container.brewing_stand = Brewing Stand
      • container.beacon = Beacon (caption is currently not shown) 
      • container.loom = Loom
      • container.stonecutter = Stonecutter
      • container.cartography_table = Cartography Table
      • container.barrel = Barrel 

      Some of the containers are captioned with the activity:

      • container.crafting = Crafting 
      • container.enchant = Enchant 
      • container.repair = Repair & Name 
      • container.grindstone_title = Repair & Disenchant 
      • container.upgrade = Upgrade gear 

      This is inconsistent.

      Container classes

      There are in fact two kinds of containers:

      • Containers containing something for storing or moving items
      • Processing containers where the input products are consumed and the output product is a new one

      Proposal

      The captioning of the containing-containers should keep their current block name:

      • container.hopper = Hopper  (Item is superfluous here)
      • container.dispenser = Dispenser
      • container.dropper = Dropper
      • container.*chest = * Chest
      • container.shulker_box = Shulker Box
      • container.barrel = Barrel
      • container.beacon = Beacon 

      The processing containers should be consistently captioned with their actions. (Wether the caption should be the infinitive or the gerundium is another story.):

      • container.crafting = Craft or Crafting 
      • container.enchant = Enchant or Enchanting 
      • container.repair = Repair & Name or Repairing & Naming 
      • container.grindstone_title = Repair & Disenchant or Repairing & Disenchanting 
      • container.furnace = Cook & Smelt or Cooking & Smelting 
      • container.smoker = Smoke (or Cook) or Smoking (or Cooking
      • container.lectern = Read or Reading 
      • container.blast_furnace = Smelt or Smelting 
      • container.brewing_stand = Brew or Brewing 
      • container.loom = Weave or Weaving 
      • container.stonecutter = Cut or Cutting 
      • container.cartography_table = Map or Mapping 
      • container.upgrade = Upgrade gear
