HexText extends Minecraft’s font renderer with a modern colour pipeline that understands full RGB
\nhex codes, nested colour spans, and a handful of animated text effects. This document summarises the
\navailable formatting tokens and how they interact so you can take full advantage of the system.<\/p>\n

### \ud83d\udd39 Installation
\nThis mod requires **UniMixins** to run. It can be installed on both the Server and Client.<\/p>\n
—————-<\/p>\n
## Standard Minecraft formatting<\/p>\n
All of the vanilla `\u00a7` style formatting codes continue to work exactly as they do in base Minecraft.
\nWhen using HexText you may prefer to write them with an ampersand for easier typing; if the server
\npermits ampersand formatting HexText will normalise them for the game at render time. The supported
\ncodes are:<\/p>\n
| Token | Description |
\n| ———— | ———————————————– |
\n| `&0`\u2013`&9`, `&a`\u2013`&f` | Vanilla palette colours (16 in total). |
\n| `&k` | Obfuscated\/random glyphs. |
\n| `&l` | Bold text. |
\n| `&m` | Strikethrough. |
\n| `&n` | Underline. |
\n| `&o` | Italic text. |
\n| `&r` | Reset colour and clear styles\/effects. |<\/p>\n
You can still type the same codes with `\u00a7` instead of `&` if you prefer the original syntax.<\/p>\n
## Direct RGB colours<\/p>\n
HexText recognises two RGB-focused syntaxes that let you move beyond the vanilla palette:<\/p>\n
### Inline hex colours<\/p>\n
Use `&#RRGGBB` (or `\u00a7#RRGGBB`) to immediately switch to an exact RGB colour (for example
\n`&#ff8800`). The change takes effect from the character immediately following the code and clears any
\nnested colour spans that were active before it.<\/p>\n
### Scoped hex spans<\/p>\n
Wrap a section of text in ` Both syntaxes accept upper- or lower-case hexadecimal digits.<\/p>\n ## Special effects<\/p>\n In addition to vanilla style toggles, HexText adds four extra effect codes. Like other formatting | Token | Effect | Effects remain active until the renderer resets them. Any explicit reset (`&r`) or colour-stack ## Tips for authors<\/p>\n * Hex colour codes are always six hexadecimal digits \u2013 shorthand (`#abc`) is not supported. With these tokens you can express complex gradients, highlight sections of text, or animate chat ## Server configuration<\/p>\n HexText exposes several server-side toggles via the `server` category of its configuration file:<\/p>\n * `enableRgbHtmlFormat` \u2013 when `true`, the ` These options make it easy to tailor HexText’s behaviour to a server’s moderation or gameplay needs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" HexText adds RGB Colors, Outlines and new Formatting to Minecraft 1.7.10<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":80764,"template":"","meta":{"_minecraft_slug":"hex-text","_minecraft_project_id":"XX6DpU8Y","_minecraft_author":"KAMKEEL","_minecraft_license":"LicenseRef-All-Rights-Reserved","_minecraft_downloads":751,"_minecraft_follows":2,"_minecraft_client_side":"required","_minecraft_server_side":"optional","_minecraft_storage_type":"zip","_minecraft_archive_name":"hex-text.zip","_minecraft_size_bytes":373225,"_minecraft_version_count":3,"_minecraft_updated_at":"2026-05-15T22:22:36.291862Z","_minecraft_date_created":"2025-11-08T06:28:50.244755Z","_minecraft_date_modified":"2026-01-03T07:20:09.322362Z","_minecraft_project_url":"https:\/\/modrinth.com\/mod\/hex-text","_minecraft_icon_attachment_id":80764,"_minecraft_imported_at":"2026-06-04T15:37:09+00:00","_minecraft_import_hash":"ad7c05fa8d7a0c233eaf52eace832d6d","_minecraft_versions":"","_minecraft_links":"","_minecraft_gallery":"","_minecraft_api_metadata":""},"mod_category":[156,104,89,873,867,92],"mod_loader":[106],"minecraft_version":[21],"class_list":["post-80763","mod","type-mod","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","mod_category-decoration","mod_category-forge","mod_category-game-mechanics","mod_category-library","mod_category-social","mod_category-utility","mod_loader-forge","minecraft_version-1-7-10"],"yoast_head":"\n
\nThese spans can be nested and work alongside inline hex codes. Closing a span restores the previous
\ncolour, making it easy to temporarily highlight text without permanently overwriting the stack.
\nServers can disable these HTML-style tags if they want to restrict formatting to inline codes.<\/p>\n
\ncodes they can be written with either `&` or `\u00a7`:<\/p>\n

\n| `&g` | Enables the animated rainbow shader. Use `&r` to clear it. |
\n| `&h` | Flips the text upside-down (Dinnerbone effect). |

\n* `allowSignEditing` \u2013 controls whether players can right-click signs with an empty hand to open the

\n* `universalAmpersandFormatting` \u2013 accepts ampersands as an alternative to the section sign for
\n formatting codes and direct RGB colours.
\n* `ampersandsInChat` \u2013 converts ampersand formatting tokens to section signs when sending chat
\n messages or commands.
\n* `ampersandsInSigns` \u2013 converts ampersand formatting tokens to section signs while editing signs.
\n* `ampersandsInRepairs` \u2013 converts ampersand formatting tokens to section signs when renaming items
\n in anvils.<\/p>\n
