Why Minecraft Gradients Are Game-Changing

Since Minecraft 1.16 introduced full RGB colors with the §x code, players and server owners have unlocked millions of color possibilities. But creating smooth, professional-looking gradients by hand is incredibly tedious, you need to calculate exact hex values for every single character.

Our gradient generator eliminates that hassle completely. Choose your colors, type your message, and watch it transform into a beautiful flowing gradient in real time, exactly as it will appear in-game.

Fun Fact: Top servers like Hypixel, Mineplex, and countless SMPs use advanced gradients for ranks, announcements, and events to create that premium, polished feel that keeps players coming back.

The Evolution of Minecraft Gradient Colors

Minecraft's gradient color system has come a long way:

Today, professional servers use gradients to create visual hierarchy, highlight important messages, and build brand identity — just like professional websites use color schemes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is §x in Minecraft?

The §x code allows full 24-bit RGB colors using six hex digits: §x§R§R§G§G§B§B. It was added in Minecraft 1.16 and enables true gradients.

Does this work on Bedrock Edition?

Native Bedrock doesn't support §x, but many popular servers and add-ons do. Resource packs can also enable custom font colors.

Can I use gradients on signs and books?

Yes! Use the JSON output format with commands or plugins like ItemsAdder, or sign editing tools.

Why does my gradient look broken in-game?

Some clients/plugins may not support full RGB. Test in vanilla 1.16+ first, and ensure your server/plugin is updated.

Will my work be saved?

Absolutely, everything is auto-saved locally in your browser. Come back anytime!
