What to know about block text
- Font — from the game. The letters use the 26.3 client font, including character widths and the full Cyrillic alphabet. Capitals are 7 pixels tall; lowercase letters without ascenders or descenders are typically 5 pixels tall.
- The larger the size, the farther it can be seen. Font pixel becomes a 2×2 or 3×3 block square — such text can be read from the opposite end of spawn, but requires four or nine times as many blocks.
- Data pack for 26.3. Template .nbt uses the format written by the selected version. Testing confirmed that 1.21.11 places it as an empty structure. For older versions, follow the blueprint and material list, which are version-independent.
- Concrete has a solid color. Concrete has no pattern, so letters are easiest to read from it. Glowstone and sea lanterns glow at night.
