Japanese practice inside Minecraft Java

Learn Japanese while you play Minecraft.

Read short Japanese sentences aloud in the game. Practice begins with kana, introduces kanji within clear limits, and keeps English support separate from Japanese progress.

Japanese literacy engine

Kana- and kanji-aware Japanese practice

Japanese is authored and checked as Japanese. It is not translated from an English curriculum. Ten product bands control word-like segments, visible characters, allowed kanji, and sentence structure while speech recognition and read-aloud audio use Japanese.

These are MindCraft practice bands, not Japanese school grades, JLPT levels, or a claim of general language proficiency. The sequence is versioned product curriculum and still requires independent Japanese literacy-specialist review and representative calibration.

Band	Japanese label	Word-like segments	Characters	Kanji ceiling	Text target
1	かなのことば	1–3	1–8	0	ひらがなと身近なカタカナで読む短いことば
2	かなの短文	2–6	5–18	0	助詞を含む、かな中心の短い文
3	はじめの漢字	2–8	5–24	4	基本的な漢字を少し含む一文

6	広がる文章	5–14	12–48	16	複数のまとまりを持つ、少し長い文
7	混合表記	5–16	15–54	20	かな、漢字、カタカナを自然に使う文
8	漢字のまとまり	6–18	18–60	24	関連する漢字語を含む複文
9	密度の高い文	7–20	20–68	30	説明語彙と複数の節を含む文
10	長い文章	7–28	24–80	36	順序、理由、結果をつないだ長い文

What the engine measures

Written-envelope fit: kana/kanji script, length, word-like segments, and band-owned kanji.
Oral-reading accuracy: the expected Japanese text compared with a Japanese speech transcript.
Separate L2 vocabulary and comprehension checks for English↔Japanese pathways.
Independent progression state per pathway; Japanese practice does not advance English or Spanish.

Engine version: japanese-native-1.0.0
