PinkFont

by AndreasMelone_

PinkFont changes the color of the default white text in Minecraft to a pinkish tint, and lets players set their own text color through a config screen or a JSON5 file.

What it does

Once the mod is installed, the game shows a new button labeled Mods on the main menu. Hovering over the PinkFont entry in the mod list opens its configuration menu, which is the same on every loader. Options in that menu show a description on the right side of the screen when hovered, so players can test colors and even add gradient colors before settling on one.

The second way to configure the color is the file itself. Players navigate to the config directory inside their .minecraft folder, open pinkfont.json5 in any text editor, and edit the values there. Because the mod runs only on the client, a server does not need it installed, and each player sets their own text color. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1 – 1.21.11, and the code is open source under the MIT License. Fabric API and YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL) are required on Fabric, Quilt and NeoForge builds.

Key features

  1. Pinkish default text

    The default white text of the game gets a pink tint once the mod is loaded, with no extra setup.

  2. Configuration menu

    A Config button in the mod list opens a menu where each option is explained when hovered.

  3. Gradient colors

    The configuration allows gradient colors as well as single colors, so the text can shift across its width.

  4. JSON5 config file

    Every setting is also stored in pinkfont.json5, which can be edited with any plain text editor.

Recolor is a client-side only mod for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, released under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license and not open source, with files for 1.21 – 26.3. Mini Buttons+ is also client-side only and covers Fabric, Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1 – 26.2, under All rights reserved and not open source, but it changes buttons rather than text. Simple Displays needs the server, with the client optional, and is licensed under the MIT License for 1.19.4 – 1.21.1; it does not recolor the font.

Questions

Does PinkFont need Fabric API?

Fabric API is required by the Fabric and Quilt builds. YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL) is required on every loader, so both should be installed next to PinkFont.

Does a server need PinkFont installed?

No. It is installed on the player's side alone, so servers need nothing.

Can the color be set without the in-game menu?

Yes. The pinkfont.json5 file in the config directory can be opened in any text editor and edited directly.

Which game versions have PinkFont files?

Files exist for 1.20.1 and for 1.21.1, 1.21.4 – 1.21.11, with 1.0.0 as the latest release for each loader.
