Putting colored text on a sign
- You can’t type the § symbol on a sign in survival — colored signs are placed with a command, e.g.
/setblockwith sign data, or a plugin/datapack that translates&codes (switch the Code output to&for those). - On Java 1.20+ signs support per-side text and dye colors; the § color codes here set the text colors.
- Hex colors work on Java 1.16+; on Bedrock, switch Edition to Bedrock for the nearest named colors.
