This mod adds a font based on the Monklish alphabet found in Bloons Tower Defense 6, as well as 28 banner patterns based on the 28 characters from it.
The font can be used by any JSON text (it has id monklishfont:monklish), such as with the /tellraw or /title commands on in custom item names. If you have Bookshelf, you can also use the /bookshelf font command for easy uses.
The font supports:
- All 26 latin letters A to Z (upper and lowercase are displayed the same),
- Exclamation (!) and question mark (?),
- Arab numerals and various punctuation which are unchanged from the base font (as they are used in Monklish text in game).
To get the banner patterns, craft the Banner Pattern item and use it in a Loom, as you would with any other. It is crafted with one each of Paper, Brown Dye (the monkey), and Red Dye (the bloon).
This was inspired by Darkhax's font mods, such as Unown Font.
