InlineIME
by Gahaha
InlineIME draws text input-method composition directly inside the text field, where a floating box would normally appear in Minecraft.
What it does
Normally the game shows IME composing text in a separate floating box. With InlineIME, the composing text is drawn in the field itself, and the candidate window tracks the composing text rather than staying at one fixed spot on screen. Clauses being converted are underlined, and the clause currently selected stands out from the rest.
The mod covers single-line fields, the chat bar, the creative search box, anvil renaming, the command suggestion list, and the editors for books and world descriptions. Players can see where text lands as they type, and the field keeps reacting while composing is still in progress.
InlineIME is a client-side only mod, so players install it and servers do not need it. Mod Menu is an optional dependency that gives access to its settings screen. Adjustments take effect as soon as they are made, and the settings file is saved when the screen closes. The mod is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with a single build for 26.2, under the MIT License, and it is not open source.
Key features
Inline composition
Composing text is drawn inside the text field instead of in the vanilla floating box.
Clause underlines
Converted clauses are underlined, and the one being converted is dimmed differently in single-line fields so it stands out.
Candidate window placement
The candidate window tracks the composing text and moves with it, rather than staying fixed on screen.
Live anvil renaming
An option turns on live renaming in the anvil, though it is off by default because it sends rename packets to the server while composing.
Colour settings
Colour fields offer a handful of common colours, and the settings file accepts RRGGBB values.

What the author says
Draws the text your IME is composing inside the text field itself, instead of the floating box vanilla shows next to it. Where you see the text while typing is where it will actually land. Works with any IME — Microsoft Bopomofo, Chewing, Sogou, ASUS Smart Input, Japanese / Korean IMEs, and so on.
