Getting Minecraft colors right (where most tools slip up)

  • Java vs Bedrock: on Java a color code resets bold/italic, so the code has to re-add them after every color — this tool does that automatically. On Bedrock, formatting carries through, and hex isn’t supported (we snap to the nearest of the 16 colors).
  • Hex colors (the §x form) work on Java 1.16+ for chat, signs and /tellraw — but not in a vanilla server MOTD.
  • Output style: use § in-game, & for plugins (Essentials, etc.), or \u00A7 in server.properties.
  • MOTD is two short lines; /tellraw gives you the full JSON text component.

FAQ

How do I use color codes in Minecraft?

Build your text here and copy the code. For chat/signs paste the § string; for a plugin config use the & version; for server.properties use the \u00A7 version; for commands pick /tellraw to get the JSON.

Why don’t my colors work on Bedrock?

Bedrock doesn’t support hex colors and keeps formatting through color changes. Switch the Edition toggle to Bedrock and the tool snaps to the 16 supported colors and adjusts the codes.

How do I use hex colors in Minecraft?

Pick any custom color (or a gradient) on Java 1.16+ — the tool outputs the §x hex form. Note hex doesn’t work in a vanilla MOTD, only chat/signs/tellraw.
