Kanaify Mod
by apple502j
Kanaify Mod converts romaji typed in chat into kana and kanji, so Japanese text can be entered on a keyboard that only types Latin letters.
What it does
Kanaify Mod is a Fabric utility for Minecraft 1.19.1 that converts romaji-only chat messages into converted text before they are sent. It is a port of the LunaChat Spigot plugin by ucchyocean, and its code falls under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, so it is open source. Fabric API is required, and the mod can be installed on a client, a server or both, with either side working without the other.
The default conversion uses the Google Translate API for kana-kanji conversion. An alternative path uses the Japanese kana-kanji conversion API from Yahoo, which needs a client ID for a registered application, supplied through the YAHOO API CLIENT ID environment variable. The mod is published for 1.17.1, 1.18.1, 1.18.2 and 1.19.1, and the latest Fabric file, 1.3.0, targets 1.19.1 and dates from 2022-07-30.
