About this Mod
⚠️ This project is developed by a single person and has only been tested in a limited environment. Currently, only Japanese input on Windows 11 has been tested. Other languages and platforms should work, but are not guaranteed.

featherIME
Japanese, Korean, and Chinese IME input for Minecraft — fully compatible with Feather Client.
Type Japanese, Korean, and Chinese directly in chat and search boxes. Composition text is displayed right inside the text field, so you no longer have to type blind until you commit.
❓ How is this different from caramelChat?
caramelChat is an excellent mod, but it cannot be used together with Feather Client. featherIME is a derivative mod that rebuilds caramelChat to work on Feather, with a few additional fixes.
✨ Features
- Type Japanese, Korean, and Chinese — composition text is shown with an underline right inside the text field, so you can check it before committing
- Feather Client compatible — works without issues alongside Feather Client
