So⦠I may or may not have written an entire Conlang based on a single joke in Minecraft Parkour Civilization 2. That would be ridiculous. Aha. Hahahaha. Ha.
A Quick Guide to Writing in Parkour
You add these in front of blocks to change their meaning. Thereβs a key at the bottom containing the Parkour alphabet which demonstrates how the space, 180Β°, 360Β°, and 720Β° Flourishes are used to refer to specific English-Letter analogs.
C = 180Β° Flourish = 5 spaces
O = 360Β° Flourish = 10 spaces
8 = 720Β° Flourish = 20 spaces
? = Reverse = Reverses input
^ = Vertical Jump = Raises Intensity
v = Drop = Lowers Intensity
These are the building blocks (lmfao) of the language and are what would be counted as an βinputβ or βletterβ. Also included are short legends under each block describing what each flourish does to each block!
(Note! _,C,O, and 8 cannot be applied to any block other than [ ] and H)
[ ] = Block = Grammatical Value
H = Fence = Numerical Value
% = Brewing Stand = Addition
Now that you have all the tools, letβs put it all together~!

Big thanks to my friend PrismaticKoi for giving me the idea and helping me figure this all out! Working with her made this process super fun!!!
Enjoy Parkour-!!! Iβll be coding an English<β>Parkour translator at some point, so stick around to find that!!
All of you need to go watch Minecraft Parkour Civilization though. Itβs seriously fantastic.
