Obfuscated Text Clean Width

by JustAlittleWolf

Obfuscated Text Clean Width changes how obfuscated text is drawn so that jittering characters stop shifting the text around them.

FabricClient-side onlyMIT LicenseOpen source26.2 – 26.3

What it does

When Minecraft shows obfuscated text, it picks a random replacement character based on the width of the underlying character. Some characters have a non-integer width, and the replacements can then sit off the pixel grid, which makes the surrounding text jitter. This mod makes sure each chosen replacement has an integer width, so the line stays steady. The fix applies wherever obfuscated text appears, including chat, item names and signs. Obfuscated Text Clean Width is published for Fabric only, for 26.2 and 26.3, and is open source under the MIT License. It is client-side only, so servers do not need it.

Key features

  1. Steady obfuscated text

    Characters that flicker in obfuscated text no longer push the neighboring letters back and forth.

  2. Integer-width replacements

    Random replacement characters are limited to integer widths, keeping each line aligned to the pixel grid.

  3. Works across screens

    The fix covers obfuscated text in chat, item names, signs and other places where the game uses it.

What the author says

Fixes an issue with how Minecraft handles obfuscated text in newer versions. In vanilla Minecraft the game chooses an obfuscated character based on the underlying characters width. However some of these characters have a non-integer width, which can cause the text to jitter around.
