The Minecraft chat code consists of section sign§ and hexadecimal.
For example, if you want to send Good Morning to your friend in red, then you have to type §cGoodMorning.
Your Message of the Day (MOTD) will appear blue if you use the code \u00A79 before your message. For instance, to say Hello Everybody, you have to type \u00A79 Hello Everybody to make it appear blue. Do you wonder how to type this section symbol §?
Try these simple ways to type the section symbol on your computer.
- For MAC users: Press ⌥ Option + 6.
- For Windows users: Alt + Numpad 2 Numpad1 or Alt + Numpad 0 Numpad 1 Numpad 6 Numpad 7.
- For Linux users: Compose + S + O.
Minecraft Color Code Format
Using the Minecraft Color Code Format will also allow you to adjust the text’s design. If bold or italic text is what you need, you can use formatting codes to make it happen. The Minecraft formatting codes are listed below.
| Code | Chat | MOTD |
| §k | Obfuscated | \u00A7k |
| §l | Bold | \u00A7l |
| §m | Strikethrough | \u00A7m |
| §n | Underline | \u00A7n |
| §o | Italics | \u00A7o |
| §r | Reset | \u00A7r |
For example, if you want to send “Good luck” in the chat in bold style, you have to type the section sign §lGoodluck.
If you want to underline the word “Friend” in your MOTD, then you have to type the code \u00A7n followed by the word “Friend” to get the output as Friend.
You can also change the color and format simultaneously. For instance, to display “I love Minecraft” in yellow and bold, you have to type §e§lI love Minecraft.
For various words on the same line, you can add different formats and colors. Here’s an illustration: You must type §eHello §4Friend to type Hello in yellow and Friend in red.
