Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between & and § in Minecraft?

The section sign (§) is the native internal character used by Minecraft for formatting text. Most server plugins and Bukkit/Paper configurations use the ampersand (&) as an alias because § is harder to type on standard keyboards.

How do I use color codes in singleplayer vanilla Minecraft?

In modern Java Edition (1.16+), singleplayer chat does not natively parse raw & codes unless you use commands like /tellraw or /title with JSON format, or use an NBT editor/mod.
