Chat Formatting & Colors
Customize your in-game chat messages, nicknames, and signs with Minecraft’s built-in color & formatting codes. Use the ampersand (&) followed by the code character to apply.
Note: We have removed Obfuscated, Red (
&c), Dark Red (&4), and Gold (&6) as those are staff colors. We do not want impersonation.
