Colors & formatting

Colors and formatting codes can be used inside all texts displayed inside menus or in chat.

Custom colors

Custom colors only work in Spigot 1.16 or higher, and they are only displayed correct by clients on Minecraft 1.16 or higher.

Display custom colors by using the hexadecimal color format: &#<HEX color>. The HEX color must consist of exactly 6 hexadecimal characters (which are 0123456789abcdef, case insensitive).

HEX color pickers can be helpful to find the correct codes, such as this one.

Example: /hd create example &#FF87D1Pink
