Runelic

This mod allows the Runelic font to be used in Minecraft.

Runelic 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 runic designs draw inspiration from real world languages and symbolism any associations between runelic designs and other characters are incidental.

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

Code

If you're developing a mod or have access to the raw item code you can apply runelic to an ITextComponent by modifying the style of the component.

Example:

// MCP names not yet available
// func_240703_c_ = setStyle
// func_240719_a_ = setFont
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 define a text component can use Runelic by defining the ID in the text data. For example it can be used with the give command to give an item that uses the font for the item name.

Example:

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