    Hello, I know this has been a thing forever but I was wondering if it's possible to cancel the occurrence of the chat getting smaller when a symbol is typed into it and keep the message normal size. here is an example of what I mean:

    This is client side. Something you could do is listen to the PlayerChatEvent and replace all ocurrences with an empty string.

  3. This is a problem with the game itself, as @kenygamer said you can just replace the string’s irregularities using a plugin. The “Minecraft” font only support’s a certain range of UTF-8 characters. The “star” that you are using is not a part of the “Minecraft” font as seen here.

    Edit: The above link is outdated and does not contain all the updated characters, view the game resources to view the most recent font.

    hhhmm.. well is the default minecraft font related to recourse packs? if so; the font could be changed to include the star symbol with a server recourse pack?
     
  5. This is possible, yes. :)

    Isn't the Minecraft font just one big image with all characters on it?

  7. That used to be true until recent updates.

    And you can define new characters too?

    I'd probably just replace the ~ character with the symbol I want instead of adding a new character to the font. It just makes things easier this way:D
