Minecraft Color Codes (and Format Codes)
In Minecraft, there are a number of built-in color codes and format codes that you can use in chat and game commands.
Color codes can be used to change the color of text in the game, assign team colors, and customize the color of dyed leather armor. Format codes can be used to modify the appearance of in-game text such as bold or italic.
