Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Minecraft section sign (§) code?

In Minecraft, the § symbol is used for real-time text coloring and formatting. For example, §c sets text to Red, §a sets it to Green, and §l makes text Bold. It works in chat, signs, books, item names, and server MOTDs.

Where are Hex colors used in Minecraft?

Hex colors (such as #55FFFF) are used in Minecraft Bedrock Edition JSON UI files and resource packs, as well as in Java Edition 1.16+ custom chat plugins and MOTDs.

How do I use the Live MOTD & Gradient Studio?

Click any color chip to insert its § code at your cursor, or type text into the Auto Gradient Generator to automatically blend across standard Minecraft colors and copy the formatted result in one click.

Does this work for both Bedrock and Java Edition?

Yes! Classic §0–§f and formatting codes (§l, §o, §n, §m, §k, §r) work across both Minecraft Bedrock Edition and Java Edition.
