caramelChat improves CJK input for players who type Chinese, Japanese or Korean in the game's chat and text fields.

What it does

The mod changes how the in-game text field handles input from CJK input method editors, the software that composes characters from keystrokes. Players who type in these languages get a more complete IME experience inside Minecraft. It is a client-side mod, so only the player's game needs it, and servers can run without it. caramelChat is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only and is open source, with source code and an issue tracker public. Builds cover 1.19.4 – 1.21.11 on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt.

Key features

  1. Enhanced IME input

    Composed CJK characters appear in the text field as the player types them through the system input method.

  2. Known skipped characters

    Some characters can be dropped when keys are pressed very quickly, which the author lists as a known issue.

  3. Input tooltip workaround

    On macOS Sonoma, an input tooltip added by the system causes most reported problems, and the author describes a terminal command to turn it off system-wide.

Questions

Does caramelChat need to be installed on the server?

No. It runs on the client only, so players install it and servers do not need it.

Why are some characters missing when typing quickly?

The author reports that characters can be skipped during very fast typing and lists this as a known issue.

What the author says

Most of the causes are due to the Input Tooltip added in Sonoma. However, Apple has not provided an API to disable it. You can disable the Input Tooltip system-wide through the following guide.
