Style item names and lore lines, preview them on a real tooltip, and copy config-ready color codes.
✔ renders in vanilla Java chat & signs. Bedrock's font is narrower, test before relying on a glyph. Full-color emoji (😀) only show in Discord and nicknames, not in-game.
Item lore is the descriptive text under an item's name in its tooltip, the flavor lines on a custom sword, a rank reward or a shop item. This generator previews your text on an authentic purple-italic tooltip and gives you the codes to drop into a plugin item config (ItemsAdder, Oraxen, custom-item YAML) or a /give command. Most item plugins read & color codes or MiniMessage for lore lines, so switch the output format to match your setup. One classic gotcha: custom item names and lore render italic by default in modern versions, many configs prepend a reset or an explicit "italic: false" to stop that, and the tooltip preview here shows you exactly how each line will look.
Type in the editor and style selections like a word processor, bold, colors, gradients. Paste existing § or & codes and they import as styled text.
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.
One click switches between § codes, & plugin codes, hex, MiniMessage, /tellraw and MOTD escapes. Copy, share as a link, or download a PNG.
Click any row to use it on your selected text instantly.
Underline, strikethrough and hex colors are Java-only. §k animates random characters in-game, and in our preview.
Custom names and lore default to italic in modern Minecraft. Disable it with the plugin's italic:false option (or a leading reset), depending on how your config applies styles.
It depends on the plugin. Many use & color codes in YAML; Adventure-based plugins use MiniMessage. Switch the output format here to match your item plugin's docs.
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+.
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.
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.
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.
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.
