Every Minecraft text format in one place

This is a visual, WYSIWYG editor for styled Minecraft text. Type your message, apply the 16 classic colors or any hex color, sweep a gradient across it, then copy it in whichever format your server needs, vanilla § codes, & plugin codes, &#RRGGBB, MiniMessage, /tellraw, raw JSON, MOTD escapes or Discord ANSI. Live mockups show your text on real chat, sign, server-list, book and item-tooltip renders, with warnings when a line won't fit or a style won't work on Bedrock. Pick a focused generator below, or start typing.

How it works

1

Write & style visually

Type in the editor and style selections like a word processor, bold, colors, gradients. Paste existing § or & codes and they import as styled text.

2

Preview on real mockups

See your text on authentic chat, sign, server-list, book and item-tooltip renders, with warnings when a line won't fit or a style won't work on Bedrock.

3

Copy the right format

One click switches between § codes, & plugin codes, hex, MiniMessage, /tellraw and MOTD escapes. Copy, share as a link, or download a PNG.

Frequently asked questions

How do I make Minecraft gradient text?

Type your text, pick two or more colors in the gradient bar and hit Apply. Every character gets interpolated automatically. Export as &#hex or MiniMessage for modern servers, or §x sequences for vanilla Java 1.16+.

Do color codes work on Bedrock Edition?

The 16 classic colors, bold, italic and magic text work on Bedrock. Hex colors, underline and strikethrough are Java-only. Flip on the Bedrock check and the tool flags anything unsupported before you paste it in-game.

What is MiniMessage and when should I use it?

MiniMessage is the text format used by Paper, Velocity and the Adventure library, most modern plugins accept it in configs. It reads like HTML: <red><b>text</b>, and supports full hex colors and gradients.

Can I edit codes I already have?

Yes, paste any § or & string straight into the editor and it becomes styled text. Or open the § Code view and edit raw codes; both views stay in sync.

How does the /tellraw output work?

The /tellraw pill gives you a complete command ready for chat or a command block. The JSON pill gives you the raw text component for /title, books, or datapacks.

Is my text saved?

Everything autosaves in your browser. You can also save named presets, or copy a share link that encodes your whole creation in the URL, nothing is ever sent to a server.

Pro tips

Gradients beat flat colors. A red→gold sweep makes server names and item titles pop far more than a single color, and it's one click here.
Use §r before new styles. Color codes reset formatting in vanilla, so §b§lAqua Bold §cRed gives you plain red, this tool handles resets for you automatically.
Check the sign preview. Signs cut off at ~15 characters per line. The sign tab warns you before your masterpiece becomes "Welcome to Par".
