  1. Many people have been asking for a good guide of how to correctly use color codes in Minecraft so here it is!

    This guide would be in more detail on how to type in color chats or signs!

    Note: To use color signs you have to be a donator rank (Coal or above) but even as a member you can use the formatting codes!
    Note: To use color codes in chats you have to be Diamond rank or above!

    Color Codes
    (0 - 9) (a - f)
    To type, a color code make sure to type first "&" and then (Number from 0-9 or a-f)

    Formatting codes
    &k = Random characters
    &n = Underline
    &o = Italics
    &r = Reset (force line to be defualt)

    &l = Bold
    &m = S̶t̶r̶i̶k̶e̶t̶h̶r̶o̶u̶g̶h̶
    [​IMG]
    You can always combine Formatting codes with Color codes!


    How to use for chat color
    Whenever you want to type in chat color make sure to do this: "& (color code) (text)" below you can see an example:
    [​IMG]
    If you want to use "Formatting codes" just add the Formatting code at the end, something like this should be done: & (color code) (Formatting code) (text), color code is an optional part, you can use Formatting codes without having any colors!

    You can have as many colors as you want, but keep in mind colors would effect all next words rather than a word or a letter.
    &aHello bhey!
    &aHello &bHey!
    &6[&cEpic&6]

    Typing in a different color won't change your above text (as I just had cut a frame out)
    Typing first a "Formatting code" and then color would result in the "Formatting code" to be white (or any original color that server had set)

    Using Color code for Signs
    The color code plays and acts the same way for signs, all of the rules of color code stays the same for signs but (color codes or Formatting code would work per line of a sign, means if you place "&a" (Green color) the only line thats gonna be affected is the first, not second or third or fourth! Leaving a line without any colors would result in it to be regular black text (same goes if you leave just placed Formatting text)

    I hope this Guide could help to thoese that are new to the Minecraft color code system!

    Hey Regent!

    What I love about your guides is that they are so well formatted <3

    You have quick snippets to show for one instruction.

    Also you make your guide more intriguing and more entertaining to read if that makes sense.

    Thanks so much for this guide!

    Have a Nice Day
    All The Best

    You should add this on the FAQ along with timps color chat guide. I feel like this is a very good visual for people who are unclear. Thank you for making this post!

    It's a detailed thread, but I don't really see why it's necessary. There's already a guide on how to use chat color codes by Timppali, and it's even in FAQ. This will just disappear off the first page after a few days, getting lost in the endless posts. I'd recommend suggesting to Timp to update his.

    Hey! thanks for this guide. Even though I have been using color codes for me I even find it useful. I will have to agree will Ankh that there is already a useful guide. So maybe you should msg Timppali like he recommended.

    What astrafings said above "I feel like this is a very good visual for people who are unclear. Thank you for making this post!" Timp's post is rather less detailed, and wasn't updated for ages, imo this is a very clear thread and who cares if it will disappear from the first page? It's still going to be here, old one doesn't means its good xD

    Like I said, it will disappear off the first page eventually. After that happens, there's a very low chance that anyone who needs the help will find this thread. That's why I suggested asking Timppali to update his. Also, if you read my reply, I never specified one being better than the other.

    “Google second page” anyways it doesn’t have to be on the first page, people will just simply search, not like “oh nothing I am looking for on the first page, I guess it doesn’t exists.” People will use “search” option, not first page option. Why will Timp update his? Just take regent’s work? This is already valid enough.
