Tnze's IME MOD
by Tnze
Tnze's IME MOD is a Fabric client mod that improves the Windows input method experience, so the IME appears where text is typed.
What it does
The mod targets text input on Windows. Its author describes the goal as making the input method behave as closely as possible to what Microsoft intends for applications that accept text. The IME panel shows up only when a text editor has focus, which keeps it out of the way during regular play, and the candidate list can be displayed while the game runs in true fullscreen mode.
The mod keeps the system IME in use rather than replacing it, so an existing input setup is retained. Players who switch between input methods often are the main audience, since the author notes that frequent switching by hand becomes unnecessary in typical use. Installation needs Fabric only; the mod runs on the client alone and is licensed under the MIT License, which makes it open source.
The files target 1.21.11 only. The latest file, version 1.6 for 1.21.11, was published on 2026-01-30, and the project was first published on 2026-01-27. The mod is built with advanced Java code and requires Java 23 or higher to run.
Key features
Text-focused IME display
The input method window appears only when a text editor in the game is focused, instead of staying on screen constantly.
Candidate view in fullscreen
The candidate list stays visible when the game runs in true fullscreen mode, where many input methods otherwise fail to show it.
System IME kept in use
The mod works with the IME already installed on Windows, so existing input methods and their settings stay unchanged.
Input behavior close to Microsoft's guidance
The implementation follows the approach Microsoft describes for applications that accept text input on Windows.
