About this Mod

This mod adds an eerie eye font based on the Pokemon species Unown. The Unown font is sure to add some mystery to your game and pairs especially well with mods like Pixelmon and Cobblemon. The font can be used with anything that accepts raw JSON text, including item names, tooltips, books, and signs.

Overview

This font contains the 26 characters of the latin alphabet and both the exclamation and question mark characters. The uppercase and lowercase alphabet are both supported.

Overview of the font.

Banner Patterns

Starting with Minecraft 1.19.2 the wandering trader will sometimes have an unown banner pattern for sale. You can use this pattern at the loom to paint the unown symbols onto banners.

  • /tellraw @p {"text":"Hello","font":"unownfont:unown"}
