Color

TravelingMerchant supports a wide range of text formatting options to enhance the appearance of messages, commands, conditions and actions.

πŸ”Ή Standard Colors and Styles (& codes)

You can use classic Minecraft-style color codes by prefixing them with &. These codes work for both colors and text formatting.

Example

&a

Light Green

&c

Red

&l

Bold

&n

Underline

&r

Reset

➑ These codes are widely supported and ideal for simple formatting.

🌈 RGB Color Support (1.16+)

You can define precise colors using hexadecimal RGB values. This allows full control over text color beyond the default palette.

Accepted formats:

  • #RRGGBB

  • &#RRGGBB

  • <#RRGGBB>

  • {#RRGGBB}

All formats above will apply the color RRGGBB, where:

  • RR = red (00–FF)

  • GG = green (00–FF)

  • BB = blue (00–FF)

Example
<&a>This is green! <#00FFAA>This is custom teal!

πŸŒ‡ Gradient Text

Create smooth transitions between two colors using gradient tags. The text between the tags will fade from the start color to the end color. You can also include formatting codes like bold or italic within the gradient.

<#StartColor>Text goes here</#EndColor>

🌈 Rainbow Gradient

To automatically color text with a rainbow effect, use the <RAINBOW> tag. You can change the number (0–999) to adjust the rainbow's variation.

<RAINBOW0>Your Text Here</RAINBOW>

🧠 Tips

  • Combine color and formatting for advanced effects.

  • Use RGB for branding, team colors, or design consistency.

  • Gradient text makes great headers or event titles.

  • Be cautious not to overdo effects – keep it readable!
