astraglossa
by AquaAdAstra
Astraglossa adds a wearable tablet that opens windows for supplementary study of constructed languages, with transliteration aids and a dictionary.
What it does
A new block called TabSlate provides a window-based interface, somewhat diegetic in style, that players reach through a tablet worn in the head slot. Players can view dictionary entries, see transliterations of text they would otherwise have to search for, and use the interface alongside the inventory for a few extra utility capabilities. The author describes the mod as a rudimentary tool meant to support learning, not replace dedicated resources for the languages it covers.
The mod is intended for constructed languages and includes the tablet transliteration aid and a server-side, datapackable dictionary. Its server component ticks each player to keep the tablet's windows accessible and to broadcast container and window changes to clients. Files are published for Fabric and NeoForge with Minecraft 1.21.1, 26.1, 26.1.1 and 26.1.2 listed as game versions, under a custom license that is not open source. Servers that run it need every player to install it too.
Key features
Wearable tablet
A tablet worn in the head slot gives access to the mod's windows, with the TabSlate block as the entry point.
Transliteration aid
Text is transliterated in place for constructed languages, supporting reading practice rather than full instruction.
Datapackable dictionaries
Dictionary entries are server-side and can be extended through datapacks.
Shareable window contents
Planned features include saving window contents to items that can be shared with friends, with color-coded organization.

Use cases
