Minecraft Color Codes and Formatting

Minecraft offers endless opportunities for creativity, and its color codes and formatting features are powerful tools for personalizing your in-game messages, server MOTDs, and signs. Whether you're running a server, creating custom maps, or simply adding flair to your chat messages, these codes let you transform plain text into something vibrant and eye-catching.

What Are Minecraft Color Codes?

Minecraft color codes are used to customize the color of in-game text, chat messages, and other written content. Each code starts with a § symbol (or \u00A7 for configuration files), followed by a specific character that defines the color. For example, §4 makes text red, while §2 changes it to dark green.

Use these color codes to add personality and vibrancy to your Minecraft worlds. Whether you're designing custom maps, setting up a server, or simply chatting with friends, color codes are a fun and easy way to make text pop.

Using these codes, you can make your text stand out in chat, on signs, or in server messages, bringing a personalized touch to your Minecraft worlds.

Here’s a quick reference to the most popular Minecraft color codes:

These codes are also applied using the § symbol, followed by a specific letter. For example, §l makes text bold, while §o applies italics.

How to Use Minecraft Color and Formatting Codes

Chat Messages: Add color and formatting to chat messages by typing the code directly before your text. For example: §aHello, World! will appear as green text.
Signs: Use codes to make your signs more noticeable. In Bedrock Edition, you can apply these codes directly on the sign text.
Server MOTDs: Customize your server's Message of the Day (MOTD) by adding color codes in your server.properties file. For example: §bWelcome to our server! §cEnjoy your stay!
