The modern tag-based format for Paper, Velocity and Adventure. Style visually and copy clean MiniMessage, including gradients, with one click.
✔ 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.
MiniMessage is the human-readable text format used by Paper, Velocity and the Adventure library, and accepted in the configs of most modern plugins. It reads like lightweight HTML: <red><bold>Hello</bold></red>, with full hex support via <#ff0055> and multi-color sweeps via a single <gradient:#f00:#00f>…</gradient> tag. Instead of memorizing tags, style your text visually here, colors, gradients, bold, italic, obfuscated, and copy correct, properly-nested MiniMessage. It's cleaner than § codes in config files and far easier to read in a pull request. If your plugin mentions Adventure, Kyori, or "MiniMessage" in its docs, this is the format you want.
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.
Anywhere built on the Adventure library, Paper, Purpur, Velocity, and most modern plugins (LuckPerms prefixes, DeluxeMenus, chat plugins, etc.). Check the plugin docs for a MiniMessage option.
Yes, a single <gradient:#color1:#color2>text</gradient> tag renders a smooth sweep. This tool writes the gradient tag for you when you apply one.
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.
