Frequently asked questions

What are Minecraft color codes?

Minecraft color codes are formatting shortcuts that change text color in chat, signs, books, scoreboards, teams, and server messages when the target edition or server supports them.

What symbol starts a Minecraft color code?

Legacy Minecraft formatting uses the section sign followed by a code, such as section sign a for green. Some commands and plugins also accept ampersand codes before converting them.

Do Minecraft color codes work in Java and Bedrock?

Many legacy color codes work across editions, but command syntax and where formatting is allowed can differ between Java Edition, Bedrock Edition, and server plugins.

How do you reset Minecraft text formatting?

Use the reset code section sign r after colored or styled text. It clears the active color and formatting for the text that follows.

Can I copy Minecraft formatting codes from this tool?

Yes. Choose colors and styles, type preview text, then copy a section-sign version, ampersand version, MOTD escape version, or command-ready snippet.
