This mod allows the Runelic font to be used in Minecraft. Virtually any text can have the font applied, including signs, books, name tags, and item tooltips.

Overview

Runelic is a character set which substitutes commonly used characters with runic symbols and designs. The runic symbols can be consistently translated back into their common counterparts. Uppercase and lowercase characters share the same designs. While some designs draw inspiration from real world language and symbolism any associations between Runelic designs and other characters are incidental.

Currently supported characters include ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz 0123456789 !"#$%&'()*+,-./

Code

// MCP names not yet available
// func_240703_c_ = setStyle
// func_240719_a_ = setFontId
IFormattableTextComponent text = new StringTextComponent("Hello World");
text.func_240703_c_(text.getStyle().func_240719_a_(new ResourceLocation("runelic", "runelic")));

Vanilla Commands & NBT

Any vanilla command which allows you to specify a text component can use Runelic by defining the font ID in the text properties. For example it can be used in the give command, or in the title command.

/give @p stone{display:{Name:"[{\"text\":\"Hello\",\"italic\":false,\"color\":\"gold\",\"font\":\"runelic:runelic\"}]"}} 1

/title @a title {"text":"Hello","font":"runelic:runelic"}
