COPYABLE GAME TEXT
Formatted text, not a font image
This generator prepares text for Minecraft chat, server configuration, plugins, and commands. Choose one color and any combination of bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, or obfuscated formatting, then copy the output format you need.
Looking for a graphic or block-letter plan instead? The Minecraft Font Generator creates pixel-style image text; this page focuses on in-game text data.
Choose the format your server supports
Section-sign codes are Minecraft's legacy format. Ampersand codes are commonly translated by server plugins, while MiniMessage requires a compatible plugin. The MOTD output escapes section signs for server.properties. Tellraw uses a JSON-compatible structured text component and safely encodes quotes, line breaks, and other user input.
Java, Bedrock, and plugin compatibility
Formatting support depends on where the text is pasted. Modern Java commands generally use structured text components; many Java server plugins accept ampersand or MiniMessage syntax. Bedrock commands and UI fields do not share every Java format, so test output in the exact edition and server software you use.
Use the Minecraft Color Codes reference to compare all colors, or make per-character RGB output with the Minecraft Gradient Generator.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from the Minecraft Font Generator?
This tool creates copyable in-game formatting codes and commands. The Font Generator creates pixel-style image lettering and building blueprints.
Is the tellraw output valid JSON?
Yes. The text component is created as a JavaScript object and serialized with JSON.stringify, so quotes and special characters are escaped correctly.
Where do ampersand color codes work?
Ampersand codes are commonly translated by server plugins and configuration systems; vanilla Minecraft normally uses section-sign codes or structured text components instead.
Does MiniMessage work in vanilla Minecraft?
No. MiniMessage is a server-plugin format, commonly used in the Paper ecosystem, and requires a compatible plugin or platform.
