	'''Formatting codes''' ~~(also known as '''color codes''')~~ add color and modifications to text in-game.		'''Formatting codes''' add color and modifications to [[Minecraft:Font\|text]] in-game.

	Text in ''Minecraft'' can be formatted with the {{w\|section sign}} (<code>§</code>). {{IN\|bedrock}}, the section sign can be used in [[Minecraft:~~sign]]s, [[Minecraft:~~book and ~~quill~~]]~~s, [[Minecraft:anvil]]s~~ and ~~[[Minecraft:cartography table]]s (to rename items and maps),~~ the [[Minecraft:chat]] ~~input field (including in commands such as <code>/say</code> and <code>/title</code>), and text in [[Minecraft:resource packs]] displayed in-game~~. {{IN\|java}}, section signs may be used in ~~<samp>[[Minecraft:server.properties]]</samp>, <samp>[[Minecraft:pack.mcmeta]]</samp>, <samp>[[Minecraft:Splash\|splashes.txt]]</samp>, [[Minecraft:language]] files~~, ~~world titles, commands (~~such as ~~<code>/tellraw</code> and <code>/title</code>) in~~ [[Minecraft:~~data pack~~]]s, and ~~server names. [[Minecraft:Programs and editors\|External programs]] can be used to insert it in other locations~~.		Text in ''Minecraft'' can be formatted with the {{w\|section sign}} (<code>§</code>). {{IN\|bedrock}}, the section sign can be used in almost any in-game text input such as [[Minecraft:Book and Quill\|book and quills]] and the [[Minecraft:chat]]. {{IN\|java}}, section signs may only be used in text outside gameplay, such as [[Minecraft:resource packs]] and world titles.

	== Usage ==		== Usage ==
	Text can be formatted using the section sign (§) followed by a character. A § symbol followed by a ~~hex digit~~ in the message tells the client to switch colors while displaying text. {{IN\|bedrock}}, the § symbol can be used in any text input and resource pack texts, while {{in\|java}}, it may be used in <samp>[[Minecraft:server.properties]]</samp>, <samp>[[Minecraft:pack.mcmeta]], [[Minecraft:Splash\|splashes.txt]]</samp>, [[Minecraft:language]] files, world titles, commands (such as <code>/tellraw</code> and <code>/title</code>) in [[Minecraft:datapacks]], and server names.		Text can be formatted using the section sign (<code>§</code>) followed by a character. A <code>§</code> symbol followed by a character in the message tells the client to switch colors while displaying text.

	=== ''Java Edition'' ===		=== ''Java Edition'' ===
			Formatting codes can be used in <samp>[[Minecraft:server.properties\|<code>server.properties</code>]]</samp>, <samp>[[Minecraft:pack.mcmeta\|<code>pack.mcmeta</code>]], [[Minecraft:Splash\|<code>splashes.txt</code>]]</samp>, [[Minecraft:language]] files, world titles, commands such as <code>/tellraw</code> and <code>/title</code> in [[Minecraft:datapacks\|data packs]], and server names.

	If a color code is used after a formatting code, the formatting code is disabled beyond the color code point. For example, <code>§cX§nY</code> displays as <span class="format-c" style="font-family: Minecraft;">X<u>Y</u></span>, whereas <code>§nX§cY</code> displays as <span class="format-f" style="font-family: Minecraft"><u>X</u><span class="format-c">Y</span></span>. Therefore, when using a color code in tandem with a formatting code, ensure the color code is used first and reuse the formatting code when changing colors. Also, you could put <code>§r§f</code> in an anvil to rename an item as non-italic.		If a color code is used after a formatting code, the formatting code is disabled beyond the color code point.

	Formatting codes ~~persist after a color code~~. ~~Furthermore~~, ~~if an obfuscated code is used~~ and ~~a reset code is not used before~~ the ~~end of the line~~ in ~~server~~ names, ~~the client GUI continues to obfuscate~~ text ~~past the MOTD~~ and ~~into~~ the ~~version number display~~.		Formatting codes can be used in any text input, but will only be displayed in JSON UI. Additionally, Realm names and player names disallow formatting codes. This practically limits formatting codes to the following uses:

			* [[Minecraft:Book and Quill\|Book and quill]] text, name, and author.
			* [[Minecraft:Chat]] messages, including those sent by commands like {{Command\|msg}}.
			* [[Minecraft:Signs]] and [[Minecraft:hanging signs]], without requiring dyes.
			* [[Minecraft:Anvils]] and [[Minecraft:Cartography Tables\|cartography tables]] to rename [[Minecraft:items]]. Nameplates from [[Minecraft:name tags]] or other means also display formatting.
			* Text in [[Minecraft:resource packs]] displayed in-game, like language files, [[Minecraft:splashes]], [[Minecraft:loading tips]], and [[Minecraft:credits]].
			* Pack names, descriptions, and settings strings.
			* Commands that can display text, like {{Command\|title}} but also {{Command\|scoreboard}}.
			* Technically world names and server names, but these are rarely displayed in JSON UI.

			Formatting codes persist after a color code. Usage in [[Minecraft:party]] chat censors the entire message.
