Update v14 - Symbols Patch:
Some users have been experiencing certain symbols on popular servers as double-struck that are not supposed to be that way, this release should patch said issue. See Q&A #5 for details.

Update v13 - Wynncraft Fix:
- Minor pack description tweaks
- Now overrides Wynncraft's new "unreadable" item tooltip font (handled separately)
For use on Wynncraft, ensure to have the Server Pack Unlocker Mod installed to give this pack priority. https://modrinth.com/mod/server-pack-unlocker
Special thanks to dirtysheep233's "Wynn Legacy Item Fonts" for illustrating how to override Wynncraft's font. https://modrinth.com/resourcepack/wynn-legacy-item-fonts
Also check out the one year anniversary version!
Update 365 - 1 Year Anniversary:
The pack has now been around for about one year. To celebrate, this is a special release that is a copy of v13 but instead uses the original shading style (and pack.png) that never got updated past v8. Thank you for using Der's Shaded Font.
Update v12 - Huge Unifont Patches:
- fixed a lot of the ~8,500 newly added shaded characters/symbols in v11 not having their shading recognized by the game (now you can see them all!)
- fixed some newly added characters being sized weirdly
- removed unnecessary files & outdated license
- tested for compatibility on Minecraft 26.1+ (success!)
- fixed some non-english languages having tiny glyphs, similar to the look of ancient unifont versions (all supported glyphs should look fine now!)
- fixed a case where ALL glyphs of nonlatin_european.png would be invisible
Update v11 - The Hypixel Update:
- Added shading to another ~8,500 characters/symbols, especially those commonly used by servers
- Re-added shading to 3 checkerboard-like characters
- Fixed ~50 characters having too much shading
- MUCH MORE language support
- Licensing: All Rights Reserved/No license -> Open Font License
Edit: There will be an upcoming patch fixing some symbols.

Description images now correctly showcase the updated shading tint!
Update v10.1:
- removed shading from a handful of characters that are not supposed to have shading
- adjusted shading tint to be much more comforting to look at
- pack.png has been updated to reflect this change
- pack.mcmeta has been updated with an improved description of the pack
Got feedback? Submit it at the bottom of the project's page!
-
Shading Styles have been reverted. While they had variety, they strayed away from the original style & idea of the pack: providing a simple font shading solution. Mods are no longer required. Styles can still be found working fine on v9.2 and v9.1 but will not be updated.
-
Editions are no longer used as there is only a single file for updates now. This change was made to make it less confusing to download.
-
The project description has had a massive clean up.
Update v10:
- adjusted shading tint to be visibly darker (but will you notice?)

Update v9.2:
v9+: Respackopts (mod) is recommended to access the new styles!
- Fixed visual issues with config menu on older versions
- Added translations for config menu text
- Added config menu option tooltip
- Renamed "Nature" shading style to "Mint"
- Minor visual tweaks to pack appearance in pack menu
Standalone version of a particular style. No mods needed.
Update v9.1:
(the largest one so far, especially regarding file size)
v9+: Respackopts (mod) is recommended to access the new styles!
- Removed "Subtle" style as it was too subtle to be noticeable and it was primarily for testing the style system
- Respackopts should now be automatically installed if this pack is downloaded through any popular launcher
- Added 4 new styles, each supporting 100% of characters
- New Styles: Gray, Rose, Nature, Opal
Update v9:
- start of experimentation with various shading styles
- new styles can be accessed with respackopts mod installed (optional), will default to usual shading without it
- style added for testing purposes: "Subtle"
Many more to be added!
Update v8: (early release so I don't forget, intended for MC 26+ but got expanded)
- Final fixes from v8 for Copper Edition
- Applied missing fixes from v7.x for Copper Edition
- Added compatibility for MC 26+ to Copper Edition
Hey, Copper Edition here! It was unpleasant for me to be told that Amethyst took my spot. However, I discussed with them and we came to an agreement. To keep it short: Both, Copper and Amethyst now share the space of MC 1.18 and beyond and co-exist for the most recent versions. There used to be differences but these have been solved.
Now you have a choice! Thanks for letting us be with you for so long. May we shade the texts of your future.
Update v8:
- Final fixes and extended version support for Amethyst Edition, Copper Edition will follow in about 3 to 5 business days (when MC 26 releases).
- Updated project page
Shhh... hey you, yes you! Amethyst Edition here. I'm hijacking this... changelog because I want you to know that... what Copper Edition is trying to hide... is the fact that you can secretly use... Amethyst v8 in MC 26+ and aren't limited... to MC 1.18-1.21 anymore in case you... really liked it like the creator did. (...) Okay-, enough for now, don't tell that... to Copper Edition, okay?
Update 7.2:
- Fixed "," and ";" characters each having the lowest of their shade-coating pixels eaten in Netherite and Amethyst editions (literally unplayable otherwise, I know...)
- Got rid of Herobrine (hopefully) (just in case)
And those were my two pixels that have been bugging me, thank you for reading this brief changelog!
