Minecraft Text Generator
Type a server name, MOTD, rank, or short message, then preview Minecraft colors and formatting before copying the code style your setup accepts.
Use this page for Minecraft-specific color and formatting codes rather than decorative Unicode fonts that only imitate a game style.
Legacy color
Choose a legacy color, then confirm that your server, plugin, or config supports the copied syntax.

Compatibility varies by Minecraft edition, version, server software, plugin, command, and configuration field. A browser preview cannot prove that a destination will translate the copied codes.

What to know before you copy
How to Generate Minecraft Text Codes
Enter the exact text you want to use, choose one of the legacy Minecraft colors, and add bold, italic, underline, or strikethrough only when the destination supports it. The preview shows the intended appearance while the two output boxes expose the real characters you will copy. Use the section-sign version for fields that document that syntax, or the ampersand version for compatible server plugins and configuration files. A normal chat box may strip either format, so test a short sample before editing a long message.
Section Sign vs Ampersand Color Codes
Legacy Java-style formatting is commonly written with the section sign followed by a color or format character. Many server tools use an ampersand as an easier configuration alternative and translate it later. These forms are not interchangeable everywhere. This generator displays both without claiming that every server, command, Bedrock client, or plugin accepts them. Check the documentation for the exact field where the text will be pasted.
Minecraft Text for MOTDs, Ranks, and Signs
Short server MOTDs, scoreboard labels, rank names, kit titles, and configuration messages are good candidates because their formatting can be tested immediately. Keep important wording readable and use one dominant color before stacking several effects. Signs, books, anvil names, commands, and chat messages can follow different rules depending on version and permissions, so a code that works in a server configuration may not work in ordinary gameplay input.
Why a Minecraft Code May Not Work
The destination may remove the section sign, require a plugin-specific placeholder, use JSON text components, restrict formatting permissions, or support a different edition and version. Some modern server software also supports hexadecimal colors through its own syntax, which is outside this legacy-code preview. If pasted output appears literally, confirm the expected prefix and whether the field performs color-code translation.
Readable Minecraft Formatting Tips
Use bold for short ranks or headings, not every line. Underline and strikethrough can be difficult to scan at small sizes, while italic text may look crowded in a scoreboard. Always keep a reset code available when additional text follows the styled phrase, otherwise the next part of a message may inherit the previous formatting. Preview color contrast against a dark game-like background before copying.
Good to know
The tool keeps the visual preview, section-sign code, and ampersand code separate and explains that support depends on the Minecraft edition, server, plugin, command, or configuration field. For the main tool, return to the Small Text Generator.

FAQ
Common Questions
Short answers about copying, compatibility, Unicode limits, and how the tool behaves across apps.
Does this Minecraft text generator create a font?+
No. It creates legacy color and format code strings plus a browser preview. Whether the codes render depends on the Minecraft field, server, plugin, edition, and version.
Should I copy the section sign or ampersand version?+
Copy only the syntax documented by your server, plugin, command, or configuration field. The tool shows both because support varies.
Can I use these codes in normal Minecraft chat?+
Not always. Many chat inputs remove or reject formatting codes unless the server and your permissions explicitly allow them.
Why is a reset code added at the end?+
The reset code helps prevent following text from inheriting the selected color and formatting when the destination supports legacy codes.
Is my Minecraft text uploaded?+
No. The preview and code generation run locally in your browser without an external API.
