Letters become galactic runes; numbers and symbols stay as they are, just like the in-game font.

Galactic runes
Reads as: enchant
A to Z key
The runes around a Minecraft enchanting table are the Standard Galactic Alphabet, a simple one-to-one cipher of the English alphabet. This translator renders your text in the real game runes and gives you a full A to Z key so you can decode the symbols in any screenshot or write your own hidden messages.
Each rune stands for one letter, so once you have the key, reading the runes is just substitution. The phrases shown on the enchantment options are random flavour text and do not reveal the enchantment, so decoding them is for fun rather than for picking an enchant.
Type a word above to see its runes, or match the runes in your screenshot against the key below letter by letter. The image export is handy for puzzle maps, server lore and thumbnails.
The symbols floating around the enchanting table and shown when you hover over an enchantment are written in the Standard Galactic Alphabet, a cipher of the English alphabet that originally came from the Commander Keen games. Each rune maps to one Latin letter, so the text is just regular words written in a different set of symbols.
Yes and no. The runes themselves spell real words, but the words shown on the enchantment options are random and have nothing to do with the actual enchantment you will get. They are pulled from a list of flavour phrases, so decoding them is fun but will not tell you what the enchantment does. Use this translator to read or write the runes either way.
Each galactic rune corresponds to exactly one letter A to Z. Use the A to Z key below to match each rune in a screenshot to its letter and spell out the word. Type the letters into the box above and the tool shows the matching runes, so you can compare side by side to decode the in-game text.
Yes. Type any text and the translator renders it in the real galactic runes, which you can download as an image for thumbnails, server lore, puzzle maps and hidden messages. Numbers and punctuation are left as their normal characters, matching how the in-game font handles them.
Yes. The runes are drawn straight from the game's galactic font sheet, the same texture Minecraft uses to display the enchanting table text, and the spacing is measured from that sheet the way the game measures it. So the output matches what you see in game rather than a lookalike font.
