I want a Better Font
by WenderMods
I want a Better Font lets players change the Minecraft in-game font by picking from the Google Fonts library.
What it does
Players pick the typeface used in the game's interface from a browse screen that searches the Google Fonts library. The chosen font can be set from the settings, where a gallery view offers further options. Font sizes scale to the resolution of each GUI screen.
The mod runs on the client alone, so players install it without any change on the server. It requires Architectury API and Fabric API, and is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 17 release versions, 1.20.1 – 26.3, under the MIT License, though it is not open source.
Key features
Google Fonts browser
A browse screen searches the Google Fonts library so a typeface can be chosen without leaving the game.
In-game font selection
The selected font replaces the default Minecraft font directly inside the game, with no file editing needed.
Scaled GUI text
Font sizes adapt to the resolution of each GUI screen so text stays readable at different window sizes.
