	=== ~~Bold~~ text ===		=== Formatting ===
	Bold text is rendered by drawing each character twice: once at its normal position and again one pixel to the right. This technique creates the appearance of thicker, bolder text without modifying the font itself.		{{Main\|Formatting codes}}
			Any font can be formatted with the <code>§</code> sign in-game (deprecated in {{JE}}), or the [[Minecraft:text component format]] in commands.{{Only\|je}}

			* A color code can change the color of the foreground text and the shadow (see below). There are 29 color codes{{Only\|be\|short=1}}, or both of these allow any HEX color.{{Only\|je\|short=1}}

			* Bold text (<code>§l</code>) is rendered by drawing each character twice: once at its normal position and again one pixel to the right. This technique creates the appearance of thicker, bolder text without modifying the font itself.
			* Text can also be italicized (<code>§o</code>), underlined (<code>§n</code>),{{Only\|je\|short=1}} and striked (<code>§m</code>).{{Only\|je\|short=1}} "Obfuscated" (<code>§k</code>) constantly replaces each character with a random character of the same width.

	The text on the experience bar is bright green [[Minecraft:Mojangles]] with a black outline {{in~~\|JE}}~~.

Glowing text always renders with an emissive texture, so it appears bright in darkness. The text takes priority over the outline; outlines appear below a character's pixels if they conflict. However, it is a rendering effect that does not actually emit any [[Minecraft:light]]. The player can {{Control\|use}} a black ink sac on the sign to remove the glow.

	''Minecraft'' has included ~~textures~~ for a number of ~~emojis. The earliest~~ emoji ~~textures were for {{mono\|☺☻}}.~~		''Minecraft'' has included support for a number of emoji. The game does not support modifiers, such as skin tone, joining, or [[Minecraft:wikipedia:Emoji#Emoji_versus_text_presentation\|emoji presentation]]. The skin tone modifiers {{unicode\|🏻}}, {{unicode\|🏼}}, {{unicode\|🏽}}, {{unicode\|🏾}}, and {{unicode\|🏿}}<!-- Be careful when changing these, as your text input likely treats the skin tone modifiers as 'unselectable' or innately part of the prior space. --> ({{mono\|U+1F3FB..U+1F3FF}}) do not apply colored skin tones to their applicable emoji, and instead show tones as their Unifont glyphs. Joining multiple emoji via {{mono\|U+200D &zwj; ZERO WIDTH JOINER}} to create 1 single emoji is not supported; multi-sequence emoji such as {{mono\|👨‍👩‍👧}} instead show as {{mono\|👨&zwnj;👩&zwnj;👧}} with dotted boxes showing {{mono\|ZWJ}} between them. Variation selectors, which control presentation, are displayed as dotted boxes with {{mono\|VS''number''}}.
	~~Since [[Minecraft:Java Edition 1.15\|1.15]], this support has expanded. Emojis are monochromatic and behave just as any other character~~. The game does not support modifiers, such as skin tone, joining, or [[Minecraft:wikipedia:Emoji#Emoji_versus_text_presentation\|emoji presentation]].

	''Bedrock Edition'' does not support any character above {{mono\|U+FFFF}}, which includes many modern emoji.
