How To Customize FONTS In Minecraft Resource Packs!

Gaming

Introduction

In this video, we will discuss how to create custom fonts using resource packs in Java Edition Minecraft. Not only can you create custom fonts, but you can also add custom characters to enhance your gameplay experience. For example, I have added my channel logo as a special character in the game. Let's dive into the process!

Step 1: Setting up the Resource Pack

  1. Go to the "assets" folder in your game files and create a new folder named "minecraft".
  2. Inside the "minecraft" folder, create another folder named "textures".
  3. Within the "textures" folder, create a new folder named "font".

Modifying the Default Font

  1. Open the default Minecraft font file in the "font" folder by extracting the version.jar file in your game files.
  2. Modify the ASCII.png file to change the default characters. You can use tools like Piskel app to create pixel images and textures.
  3. Export the modified font file as PNG and place it in the "font" folder.

Creating Your Own Font

  1. Create a new namespace folder (e.g., "example") in the "assets" folder.
  2. Inside the namespace folder, create a new folder named "font".
  3. Create a font.json file inside the "font" folder to define your custom font properties.
  4. Specify the type as "bitmap" and add the location of your font file in the "file" parameter.
  5. Adjust the ascent and height parameters according to the size of your font image.
  6. Add characters in the "chars" parameter to represent the symbols in your font. You can refer to the default ASCII layout if needed.

Adding Custom Characters

  1. Copy your custom font file to the "font" folder in the default Minecraft namespace ("minecraft/font").
  2. Rename the font.json file to "default" within this folder.
  3. Modify the font file by removing all characters in the "chars" parameter.
  4. Add the custom character by specifying its Unicode representation (e.g., "\uE000") in the "chars" parameter.

Applying the Resource Pack and Testing

  1. Enable the resource pack in Minecraft and wait for it to load.
  2. Open the chat and type a message using the chat formatting command ("/tellraw") and specify the font option.
  3. Test the output for custom characters and effects such as color changes.

That's it! You have successfully customized fonts in Minecraft using resource packs. Feel free to explore further modifications and customization options to create unique font experiences in the game!
