When using color codes in Minecraft:

  • Use the & symbol in chat messages (e.g.: &aHello for green text)
  • Use the § symbol in MOTD and configuration files (e.g.: §aWelcome!)
  • Format codes can be combined (e.g.: &l&a for bold green text)
  • Use &r or §r to reset all formatting

Click on any color code to copy it to your clipboard. You can paste these codes directly into your Minecraft server configuration files or use them in-game if you have permission.
