Custom font in GUI

[sweet cedar]

please help me, show me a sample code for 1.21 for rendering your font in your GUI. I have a font in the form of a .ttf file. Please send me a sample code on how to use the font.

let's say how it is here https://media.forgecdn.net/attachments/759/900/2023-11-16_13.png

and here (I don't support cheats, but here I just show the font in the GUI.) https://preview.redd.it/follow-me-on-my-journey-to-create-a-minecraft-cheat-v0-qzo8z37087lc1.png?width=2560&format=png&auto=webp&s=0804b28bb886b27a07dbe5ee6c7bb8961b9f0ab8

I'm not saying that these are cheats, I gave this as an example, I just need to understand how to use my font in the GUI.

Help me pls 😥

help

[fickle turtle]

I've never done it bro can't help, ur best option is to go read source code of other mods and see how they did it

Just came to nerd emoji that guy ngl

[sweet cedar]

so I do not know which mod to watch, there are not too many such mods and not every one with the source code, can you recommend some?

[bold wigeon]

I would recommend you to check how minecraft set their own font

[sweet cedar]

And where can I see it?

[bold wigeon]

In the IDE you can see the Minecraft Code

in the External Libraries, just search for the class

you can either search for it here:
https://linkie.shedaniel.dev/mappings?namespace=yarn&version=1.21.5&search=font&translateMode=none

[fickle turtle]

It came to me in a dream

[bold wigeon]

try this maybe

there's been an entire thread ab this already with tons of information, it could help

[sweet cedar]

@misty fern Can you help me? I kind of did everything as they wrote in the chat, but the characters are not displayed.

{
  "providers": [
    {
      "type": "ttf",
      "file": "fpsboost:font/bahnschrift.ttf",
      "shift": [0, 1],
      "size": 11,
      "oversample": 8
    },
    {
      "type": "bitmap",
      "file": "minecraft:font/default.png",
      "ascent": 7,
      "height": 8,
      "chars": [
        "0123456789",
        "abcdefghij",
        "klmnopqrst",
        "uvwxyz{}[]",
        "ABCDEFGHIJ",
        "KLMNOPQRST",
        "UVWXYZ!\"#$",
        "%&'()*+,-.",
        "/:;<=>?@\\^",
        "_`|~      "
      ]
    }
  ]
}

It's displayed in the game like that guy's

@fervent lichen hello, can you help me, pls

i trying

{
  "providers": [
    {
      "type": "ttf",
      "file": "fpsboost:font/bahnschrift.ttf",
      "shift": [0, 1],
      "size": 11,
      "oversample": 8
    },
    {
      "type": "bitmap",
      "file": "fpsboost:font/bahnschrift.reg.png",
      "ascent": 7,
      "height": 8,
      "chars": [
        "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ",
        "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz",
        "0123456789 *+,-./:;<=>?@[^"
      ]
    }
  ]
}

But it didn't help

[fervent lichen]

my .json just looks like this:

{
  "providers": [
    {
      "type": "bitmap",
      "file": "pvpranked:font/minecrafter.reg.png",
      "height": 13,
      "ascent": 13,
      "chars": [
        "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ "
      ]
    }
  ]
}
```, so no top part about the .ttf file

there should be an error in your console when you run your mod complaining about a missing font png file

you have to convert it into a png

you will have to look up a ttf to png converter and then use that

the png it gives you should go in assets/YOUR_MODID_HERE/textures/font/bahnschrift.reg.png

[fervent lichen]

since minecraft can't use the ttf file, you should correct this to just

{
  "providers": [
    {
      "type": "bitmap",
      "file": "fpsboost:font/bahnschrift.reg.png",
      "ascent": 7,
      "height": 8,
      "chars": [
        "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ",
        "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz",
        "0123456789 *+,-./:;<=>?@[^"
      ]
    }
  ]
}
``` (removed the top part)

[fair skiff]

you have a folder called assets.fpsboost. you need two folders assets and fpsboost

[magic grove]

is that not just how the ide displays it?

the only thing in assets is a folder called fpsboost

[sweet cedar]

don't work 😦

@fervent lichen What am I doing wrong again? Help pls

[crisp gull]

what does it say in the output log when you run the game?

[crisp gull]

also, for documentation on the format https://minecraft.wiki/w/Font#Providers

oh i see whats wrong, you put fpsboost:font/bahnschrift.ttf it should be fpsboost:bahnschrift.ttf

[crisp gull]

also this png would not work for a minecraft font, it has to be a grid of characters, like how the vanilla ascii.png one looks like

[sweet cedar]

and where can I make such a font with a grid from a ttf file?

[crisp gull]

why not just.. use the ttf file?

[crisp gull]

what you had here should work if you remove the font/ and the default minecraft font

[sweet cedar]

so they wrote to me above that minecraft does not support ttf files, only png, and I have the same "file": "fpsboost:bahnschrift.reg.png" that is png

[crisp gull]

well theyre wrong because it does support ttf fonts

[sweet cedar]

Okay, I'll try it like this.

😦

[crisp gull]

why, you can just use the ttf

{
  "providers": [
    {
      "type": "ttf",
      "file": "fpsboost:bahnschrift.ttf",
      "shift": [0, 1],
      "size": 11,
      "oversample": 8
    }
  ]
}```

[crisp gull]

when this happens, check the output log and it will tell you exactly why it isnt working

[sweet cedar]

YYEEEEEEEEEEE

[sweet cedar]

TNX BRO

I'm use

[fervent lichen]

I didn't know you could use ttf files, I couldn't get it to be supported for me so I just used a png

neat

[bold wigeon]

Hey @sweet cedar, can you pass your code to see how you make it? I think it would be useful for the future!

[crisp gull]

@bold wigeon ^ you just make a style, set the font to the id of your font, then set that on your text component

(you don’t need to convert it to a string first tho)

i don’t mean this in a rude way but it’s kinda funny how so many people have run into this same issue recently

[sweet cedar]

I'm not at home right now and I posted all the code above

[bold wigeon]

Okay, ty
