ucsur galactic

a resource pack that adds support for the UCSUR’s codepoints for standard galactic so you can type in galactic yourself :>

what does absolutely any of that mean

UCSUR stands for the under conscript unicode registry, which is a project that coordinates the usage of codepoints in unicode’s private use areas (PUA) to include different artificial writing systems (conscripts) – namely scripts for conlangs – meaning they can be typed and otherwise encoded in text.

the UCSUR has a section for the standard galactic alphabet, which is the script minecraft uses in places like the enchantment table. it’s hardcoded into the game, though, and you can’t determine where galactic is used (for the most part) without adding separate unicode characters to minecraft’s font, which is what this pack does!

how do i use this, like, at all?

yeah, you can’t exactly type it on your keyboard (without third party software, at least), can you? i’d be surprised if you could find a keyboard that lets you type galactic by default

so, i’ve made a lingojam translator for this! there’s a good chance your browser won’t be able to see the result, though – how i’ve fixed that is i’ve installed fairfax hd and set it to my browser’s default font, so when the site’s font can’t render the characters, it’ll use fairfax hd as a fallback, which can.
