COLORS

Use color tokens to style sign text and anvil item names.

Quick Reference
Command: None needed
Works On: Signs and anvil renames
Format: Type a token like @red before your text

What It Does

Colors lets you insert simple text tokens that turn following text into colored text.

This is great for making signs easier to read or giving renamed items a custom look.

How To Use On Signs

Step Action
1 Place or edit a sign
2 Type a token before your text, such as @gold Welcome
3 Finish editing the sign and place it
4 The token is applied and your sign text appears in that color

How To Use In Anvils

Step Action
1 Open an anvil
2 Type your rename using a token, such as @aqua Ocean Blade
3 Take the result item
4 The new item name keeps the applied color

  • You can mix normal text and color tokens in the same line.
  • Use @reset when you want the rest of the text to return to normal.
  • Tokens are not case-sensitive, so @RED and @red both work.
