CJK Input Bridge

IME composition and candidate window in Minecraft

CJK Input Bridge is a mod that makes it easier to enter Japanese and other CJK text in Minecraft 1.12.2 on Windows.

CJK Input Bridgeは1.12.2での日本語系の文字入力を改善します

In Minecraft 1.12.2, text being composed with an IME may not appear correctly in the game, and the candidate window may be displayed far away from the text field.

This mod connects the Windows IME with Minecraft text fields so that composition text and conversion candidates appear near the current input position.

It can be used in a wide range of text-entry screens, including chat boxes, search fields, name fields, and configuration screens added by other mods.

Features

  • Displays IME composition text directly in Minecraft text fields
  • Positions the candidate window near the current input location
  • Keeps the candidate window aligned when long text causes the field to scroll horizontally
  • Adjusts the candidate window position for different GUI scale settings
  • Keeps IME input working after switching tabs or text fields within a GUI
  • Restores IME input after switching away from Minecraft with Alt+Tab
  • Passes committed text to some modded screens that do not use standard Minecraft text fields
