Alphabet
by Xsynda
Players who want letters, numbers and punctuation as placeable blocks can use Alphabet, a NeoForge decoration mod for 1.21.1 that adds a full set of character blocks to the world.
What it does
Alphabet adds blocks shaped as symbols, letters, digits and basic punctuation marks, so a letter can be placed as a full block in the world. The set covers the English and Russian alphabets, the numbers 0 through 9 and common punctuation, and each character is a separate block that can be placed and broken like other building material.
Builders can spell out words, sentences and whole messages on walls, floors and signs, and the mod suits large lettering, named structures and educational maps or puzzles. Because the character blocks are sturdy, they hold up to hand breaking, though a wooden pickaxe or better is needed to break them. The shapes use a clean, readable style that fits the look of vanilla blocks.
Alphabet is published for NeoForge only, for the 1.21.1 game version, and it runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. The code is not open source, and the mod is released under All rights reserved.
