About this tool
Format Minecraft chat and MOTD text with color and style codes, with a live preview.
How to use Minecraft Color Codes
- Click color and formatting buttons to insert codes, or type & codes yourself.
- Watch the preview, including animated obfuscated text.
- Copy the § version for server.properties, the & version for plugins, or the escaped MOTD.
Worked example
&6&lWelcome to &b&lHiveCraft shows a bold gold “Welcome to” and a bold aqua “HiveCraft”, perfect for a server MOTD.
What is the difference between & and §?
Minecraft uses the § symbol. Many plugins and chat let you type & instead and convert it for you.
Why does formatting reset?
A color code resets bold, italic and other styles, so put style codes after the color code.
