Minimal GNU

Java resource pack listed for Minecraft 1.13–1.20. Downloads from the MC Java Mods app on Android.

by SGM1066 · on Modrinth

This makes GNU Unifont (the fallback font of Minecraft) ALMOST redundant by adding multiple fonts for various languages!

Which Minecraft do you have?

Every version of the game needs its own build. Pick yours, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game. This mod is built for Resource pack only.

⬇ Download for 1.20.5–26.3⬇ Download for 1.16–1.20.4
I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

Minimal GNU

You know GNU Unifont? The fallback font for Minecraft? It doesn't look good when combined with Mojangles. (The Minecraft font we ACTUALLY love)

Don't believe me? Look at this!

A screenshot showcasing Mojangles and GNU Unifont together. The two fonts have obvious clashing with each other.

Doesn't that not look good? Well, what if there was a resource pack that changed that? Introducing "Minimal GNU!" a resource pack dedicated to doing exactly that! It combines multiple community made pixel fonts to make your multilingual Java Edition experience look significantly more consistent! Still don't believe me? A screenshot showcasing Minimal GNU active. GNU Unifont is no longer present, and the text strings that would've used it now look significantly more consistent with Mojangles.

Look at that! Isn't that just more consistent? Everything looks like they belong to the same typeface!

Of course, if you still WANT GNU Unifont for whatever reason, you can toggle "Force Unicode Font" in the Language settings (on modern versions, you go to Options > Language > Font Settings > Force Unicode Font, but with older versions, you go to Options > Language > Force Unicode Font.)

!! IMPORTANT NOTE !!

Apparently, TTF font rendering is different between 1.20.5+ and 1.20.4- (and below) The above images showcase what the resource pack looks like on 1.20.5+, but this next image will show what 1.20.4- font rendering looks like:

1.20.4 and below font rendering. Notice how it doesn't look right.

So yeah... I'd recommend using the 1.13-1.20.4 version in that scenario. Also, don't use that version on 1.20.5+, because then it looks like this!

AHH AHH GET THAT AWAY FROM ME!!
