Alphabet Blocks
by AlOraill3
Alphabet Blocks adds a set of 78 letter blocks, 26 letters in each of three colors, for building signs and decorative lettering on Forge for Minecraft 1.20.1.
What it does
The 78 letter blocks come in black, yellow and green, with a base black version and yellow and green versions made by painting. Three brushes apply the paint, and each brush is crafted from a feather and two sticks, with the feather itself made from a feather and a matching dye.
Crafting the black letter block requires a stonecutter and black concrete. Yellow and green letter blocks are made by applying the yellow or green brush to a black block. Breaking the letter blocks needs an iron pickaxe or better. The items and tools are listed in an ingredient tab in the creative inventory.
Alphabet Blocks is licensed under All rights reserved and is not open source. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Files are published for Forge only, for Minecraft 1.20.1, with version 2.0.0 as the latest file, dated 2026-07-03.
Key features
Letter blocks in three colors
The mod covers the full alphabet of 26 letters in black, yellow and green, giving 78 blocks in total.
Paint brushes
Three brushes recolor a letter block to yellow or green, so one black block can become the other colors.
Craftable feathers and brushes
The colored feathers and brushes are built from dyes, feathers and sticks, and are available in the ingredient tab.
Pickaxe-gated breaking
Breaking the letter blocks needs an iron pickaxe or a better tool, so they are harder to remove than plain blocks.

Use cases
Signage and lettering
The letter blocks can spell out words on walls, floors and building facades, in whichever of the three colors fits the build.
Who it’s for: Builders who want readable lettering in a few colors, and server owners who want letter blocks on a shared build world. Both the server and each player need the mod installed.
