Description
Japanese Writing
Make a Japanese Writing Table which can craft Hiragana, Katakana and 250+ Kanji characters.
You can place the characters on most blocks in the game to create a wide variety of Japanese signage.
Use them to learn Japanese immersively by naming things and places in your world.
Just look at any placed Hiragana or Katakana to learn its phonetic pronunciation in English. 
Most N5 and N4 level Kanji's are available and tell you their common meanings and contexual use.
Never feel guilty about gaming when you should be studying Japanese because now you can do both.
Or maybe you just want to give your world a cool Japanese vibe? that's ok too!
Why not open a Ramen shop on your Hytale server and serve nothing to your customers because Ramen isn't in the game yet?
This is a in development version of my mod and I'm looking for feedback so please report bugs, problems and feature requests on my discord here
Currently there is:
- A craftable Japanese Writing Table from the Workbench.
- 150 hand drawn Hiragana and Katakana characters including dakuten and handakuten craftable from inside the Japanese Writing Table.
- 250+ hand drawn JLPT N5 and N4 Kanji
- Subtle shading to show the correct stroke direction on characters
- A phonetic search feature in the crafting bench that works for most Kana. Type '_Ka' for Ka. Search for english meanings to find relevant Kanji
- A dedicated creative mode menu section
- Characters are placeable like paintings with transparent backgrounds and attach to most block sides making them great for Japanese creative build projects.
If you make any cool Japanese style builds using this for the lettering I would love to see them!
Installation.
Place the .zip in your UserData/Mods/ folder and (Todd voice) it just works!
You should see the Japanese Writing Table as a craftable option from within the Workbench crafting stations menu.
Disgusting Self Promotion
Finally, if you do enjoy the mod and want to support it I've made a 'supporter edition' which is exactly the same as the free version but has two alternative cosmetic skins for the Japanese Writing Table:
The Sakura Table
The Samurai Table
