How to use
- Type "&" rather than "§"
Plugins and our generators translate “&” into § themselves, but the § symbol is not on any layout.
- Color comes first, style follows
&c&l gives red bold. On the contrary, the fat content will be lost: the color removes it.
- In server.properties - with its own column
The file reads as Java properties, and § is written there in an escape form. It will help you assemble the entire MOTD MOTD generator.
What you need to know about these codes
- "&" and "§" are the same code. The game only understands §, but there's nothing to dial: this symbol is neither Russian nor English. So the plagiarians and the seizures agreed to accept "&" and replace it themselves.
- B server.properties § written as §. The file is read as Java properties, and non-ASCII is usually written in an escape sequence. Will collect the finished string MOTD generator.
- Color resets the style rather than adding to it. "Girl-red" gives only the first word in bold: color code turns off everything that was included before it. The first color is the second.
- You cannot type § with your hands in the game: chat, a sign and an obsessive symbol. The codes work where the text bypasses the input: the MOTD servers, Plagin seizures, resource pack files — and the commands collected on the website (in the case of the Internet).plate, Book, /give).
- There are exactly sixteen §-color codes. Vanilla understands any color only in JSON text (since 1.16) - it is collected Generator / Tellraw. In a §-string, Paper and Spigot can do arbitrary HEX via §x§R§R§G§G§B§B; a vanilla server will show this line as garbage.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between & and § in Minecraft codes?
Nothing in the sense that it's the same code written by different characters. § understands the game itself, & set up the plagins -- and change it to § before sending it.
Why did the bold font after the color code disappear?
Color RESETS the style: "&lbold&cred" makes only the first word bold. To leave, the style code is placed after the color.
Where do Minecraft color codes work?
Everywhere there is text in the game: MOTD servers, signs, item names, books, chat and plugin configs.
