Answers to common questions about Minecraft Hex Color Code & Gradient Generator
Java Edition 1.16+ can display RGB text, but the input format depends on your chat or rank plugin. Choose Modern Hex only for plugins that read &#rrggbb, or MiniMessage for plugins that support Adventure. These codes are not interpreted automatically in vanilla chat.
Legacy codes use classic symbols like &a (green) or &l (bold) with a limited 16-color palette. Modern hex codes let you use any RGB color in the world for true smooth gradients.
Select Server MOTD, edit MOTD Line 2 in the preview if needed, then copy the result after 'motd=' in server.properties and restart your server. This export uses the nearest of the 16 classic colors for vanilla compatibility. For full RGB gradients, use a compatible MOTD plugin and its required format.
Chat colors require a compatible plugin and permission to use formatting. For vanilla Java Edition 1.16+ with command permissions, choose In-Game /tellraw. Paste it in chat, or omit the leading slash in a command block. Bedrock uses a different command format.
