Chat Colours

# Chat Colours Overhauls the game's 14 year old text formatting syntax. # Markdown-like syntax This mod allows you to use markdown-like syntax to format your text in minecraft: `*italic text*` -&gt; *italic text* `**bold text**` -&gt; **bold text** `***bold + italic***` -&gt; ***bold + italic*** `__underline__` -&gt; <u>underline</u> `~~strikethrough~~` -&gt; <s>strikethrough</s> `this **is** bold` -&gt; this **is** bold `this __*is* multiple things__` -&gt; this <u>*is* multiple things</u> The terminating set of symbols is optional, e.g. `**hello` will still be bold. If you put a star at the start of the name of an item in an anvil, it will cancel out the italic <img src="https://media.forgecdn.net/attachments/530/267/example-formatting.PNG" width="300" /> # Hex codes/custom colours This mod allows you to colour your text with custom colours: red text -> red text pink text -> pink text **bold green text** or **bold green text**-> bold green text The codes are case-insensitive. # Extended format syntax This feature has been replaced by new syntax, but still works. The mod allows you to use named colours instead of the normal single letters. The names are **white, black, blue, green, aqua (or cyan), red, purple, gray and yellow**. The names are case-insensitive. To use the dark version of the colour (except white and black), put "d", "dark" or "deep" before or after the name. You can optionaly use a space or underscore between the name and the prefix/suffix. For example, `§`, `§`, `§`, `§` all make dark blue text `§`, the name MCWiki gives the colour, can also be used for dark yellow. ## Bold, underline, italics, etc You can also use: - `§` for strikeout text, - `§` for bold text, - `§` for obfuscated text, - `§` for underlined text, - and `§` for §r (reset) ## Multiple style options Format options can be chained without needing multiple `§`s. For example, `§text` will show red, bold, underlined text. You need to put the colour before the bold and underline. This is because the colour code resets the style to be coloured, but not italic, bold, etc. This is a minecraft thing, and also applies to vanilla formatting codes. # Use on servers If you want to use this mod on a server, this mod will have to be installed on it, or the server must otherwise allow you to send '§' in chat, or the server will automatically kick you when you use formatting.
