Minecraft Color Code Generator
Generate Minecraft legacy color codes, ampersand config codes, and MiniMessage-style text with preview, bold, italic, and copy-ready output.
Generate Minecraft Color Codes
Use this tool for MOTDs, plugin messages, ranks, prefixes, and announcements. Always test formatting in the plugin or file where it will be used, because parsers differ.
For server list text, use the MOTD generator. For permissions prefixes, use the LuckPerms command generator.
Readability Tip
High contrast is more important than maximum color. Make ranks and alerts easy to read on dark and light client backgrounds.
FAQ
Should I use section signs or ampersands?
server.properties often accepts section signs, while many plugins accept ampersand codes and translate them.
What is MiniMessage?
