Nyctography Mod adds a secret writing system to your game. This mod brings a special font that replaces normal letters with dots and lines. You can use this hidden code on signs, inside books, in the chat, and on item tooltips. It also includes a special banner pattern so you can craft flags with these secret symbols. This system makes it fun to hide messages or create puzzles for your friends.
