MiniMessage is the preferred formatting system.

It supports:

  • Named colors
  • HEX colors
  • Gradients
  • Bold, italic, underline and strikethrough

Example:

<gradient:#00FFAA:#00AAFF><bold>Example Text</bold></gradient>

HEX colors use the following format:

&#RRGGBB

Example:

&#00FFAAExample Text

This format is supported in modern Minecraft versions.


Legacy formatting uses the extended color syntax:

&x&R&R&G&G&B&B

Example:

&x&0&0&F&F&A&AExample

  • Use MiniMessage whenever possible.
  • Avoid mixing different formatting systems in the same message.
  • Keep formatting consistent for better readability and maintainability.
