Furigana For Bedrock (日本語振(ふ)り仮名(がな)サポート)

Furigana For Bedrock is a utility resource pack designed for Japanese learners and native speakers. It enhances the standard Minecraft Japanese translation by adding Furigana (reading aids) in parentheses next to Kanji characters. This allows you to understand Kanji readings without leaving the game.

small notes (important for downloads)

This pack is designed for learning Japanese through gameplay, not a full linguistic annotation system.

Not every text element will be affected, so do expect occasional moments where Furigana isn't present.
