About

Minecraft Enchantment Table Writing refers to image macros and copypastas of Minecraft's Standard Galactic Alphabet(SGA) used cosmetically in the game's enchantment interface. The alphabet saw a surge in popularity in 2019 after Redditors began including images of the text to describe something as secret or indecipherable.

Origin

On September 30th, 2011, Minecraft programmer Notch^[1][2] tweeted twice about creating an enchantment table (shown below). The tweets have gained 40 and 175 likes respectively in eight years.
