Hangul 한글
by cityofseoul
Hangul adds native Korean input to Minecraft's text fields, so players can compose syllables with the Windows IME while typing chat, commands and signs.
What it does
The mod is a lightweight client-side input layer. It lets the Windows Korean IME compose Hangul directly at the cursor, so characters appear as they are typed instead of after a separate step. Text that has not been confirmed by the IME stays visual until the syllables are complete, and only then is it saved or sent as a chat message or command.
Input support also reaches fields outside chat, including recipe and item search, where Korean queries are matched by initial consonants and accidental Dubeolsik input. Several search terms can be entered together while the composition is still live, and command suggestions from the server are matched the same way.
Because it runs only on the client, a server does not need it and players can join without installing anything. Hangul is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with files for 26.1 – 26.3, and its code is open source under the MIT License. Fabric API and Mod Menu are named as companions in the author notes, but Hangul's own files do not depend on them.
Key features
Cursor-aware IME input
Korean syllables are composed at the cursor through the native Windows IME, with the text kept visual until each syllable is complete.
Chat and command coverage
Composition works in chat, chat commands, command blocks, books and signs, so Korean text can be typed in the same fields used for English.
Korean-aware search
Item and recipe search match initial consonants and accidental Dubeolsik input, and several terms can be entered together while typing.
Server address entry
The server address field accepts composed Hangul, so Korean-named servers can be entered without switching input modes.

What the author says
마인크래프트에서 한글을 쓸 때 글자가 한 박자 늦게 나타나거나, 커서가 조합 중인 글자를 따라오지 않는 불편을 줄이기 위한 가벼운 클라이언트 모드입니다. 별도 입력기를 덧붙이는 대신 Windows에서 평소 사용하던 한국어 IME가 게임 안에서도 자연스럽게 이어지도록 만듭니다. 문장 중간에 글자를 넣거나 선택 영역을 바꿀 때, Backspace로 조합을 고칠 때도 같은 원칙이 적용됩니다. 한자 변환을 열면 운영체제의 후보창을 게임 안의 현재 커서 가까이에 배치합니다.
