Standard Galactic Alphabet

Enchanting Table Translator

Type English to get the runes from the enchanting table. Paste runes to read them back. Letters only map one-to-one.

What the enchanting table language is

The glyphs around a Minecraft enchanting table are the Standard Galactic Alphabet from Commander Keen. Each English letter maps to one rune. The floating text in-game is random flavor, not the enchantment name.

Use this page for signs, books, and map puzzles. Numbers, spaces, and punctuation stay as typed.

Enchanting table FAQ

Can I read the real enchantments this way?

No. The table animation is decorative. The actual enchantment names stay in English in the UI.

Does this work in signs and books?

Yes. Paste the runes as regular Unicode text. Players need a font that includes these characters.

Is this the same as the Illageralt font?

No. Illageralt is a different Mojang cipher used in Minecraft Dungeons and some later Java assets.
