Pig Pen Cipher Mod pre Minecraft 1.20.1, 1.16.5

This mod adds the Pigpen Cipher to Minecraft as a new font. This can be used for books, fonts, chat messages, tooltips, and virtually any other text in the game.

Overview

The Pig Pen Cipher is a simple substitution cipher used to encode messages which use the English alphabet.

User Guide

Using the Cipher

The Pigpen Cipher is sometimes referred to as a tic-tac-toe cipher. This is because the key used to encode/decode characters looks like a tic-tac-toe board.

To write a character using the Pigpen Cipher you simply replace the character with the lines that surround the character. For example if you want to write the letter A you would draw a backwards L shape and an E would be drawn as a square. If the symbol contains a dot you would use the version on the right, so a square with a dot inside of it is an N. The eight lower characters follow the same rules, T would be an arrow pointing right and W would be an arrow pointing down with a dot in it.

Banner Patterns

Newer versions of the mod (1.21.1+) now include banner patterns with the cipher characters! These can be used to spell out messages in game, or create unique designs!
