Furigana

Furigana over Japanese text on a wooden sign in game with the Rubi mod enabled.

Introduction

A Minecraft resource pack that provides furigana for the Japanese language.

While the resource pack is fairly comprehensive, please note that I haven't thoroughly verified every annotation (there are a lot of them), so I expect there to be some inaccuracies. If you find any, please let me know by opening an issue or submitting a pull request.

Tip

You can use the Rubi mod to display the furigana above the text. This is not required, but highly recommended.

Furigana + Rubi mod	Furigana only

Installation

• Download the latest release from Modrinth

• Assuming the download is in the default Downloads directory, you can use the following command to move the ZIP file to the resourcepacks directory:

  Windows:

  Open Command Prompt (or change move to Move-Item and use Powershell), and paste the following command:

  move "%USERPROFILE%\Downloads\Furigana-v*+*.zip" "%APPDATA%\.minecraft\resourcepacks"

  Linux:

  Note: The following command assumes you are using a Linux distribution that follows the XDG Base Directory Specification (don't worry, most of the popular, widely-used distributions do).

  mv "$(xdg-user-dir DOWNLOAD)"/Furigana-v*+*.zip "${HOME}/.minecraft/resourcepacks"

  Manually:

  Go to Options > Resource Packs and click the "Open Pack Folder" button, then move the downloaded ZIP into this directory.

• Within Minecraft, the resource pack adds a new language option that is separate from the standard Japanese translation. To enable it, go to Options > Language and select "日本語＋振り仮名 (日本)".
