What is going on everybody so today I’m gonna be giving you guys just a quick tutorial on how to basically do chat formatting and color codes as well as change the color of your message of the day and make it go on multiple lines so first thing we’re gonna do is we’re Gonna leave the server we were just on this server right here this is the one that we’ve been working on the one that we set up oh we changed the icon for we set the server properties up for to actually set the message of the day here You can see it just says this is voice dev server and it’s in the default gray color so what we’re gonna do is we’re gonna hop over to our server is which is right here and we’re gonna stop it make sure you guys stop your server always by Typing and stop and hitting enter because what that’s gonna do is save all of your chunks and save everything correctly and then exit instead of just exiting and it might not save correctly and you could corrupt part of your map or the map as a whole so after it’s done We click enter and it’ll exit out of the command prompt and we can do is we come over to server properties we want to edit our server properties I have a whole video explaining how to edit your server properties and if you guys don’t Know how to do it the easiest way to do it is to just right-click and click Edit and if it if there you don’t have an edit option here click open with and when this pops up make sure you click on notepad and then click OK and then it Should just open it up in notepad it’s just a text document with a dot properties extension on it so you can scroll down the message of the day is usually near the bottom sometimes these are not in the same order and this is what we want to work with right here Alright so what we need to do is we need to add certain formatting codes that change the color or you can make it like italicize text or bold text what we need to do is figure out what those codes are there’s a really good resource I’ve been Using for years and it’s this website right here I will I will leave a link to it in the description basically you just take what this code right here because this is the one for the message of the day this is the one for the chat and right here this symbol this is Interchangeable with an ampersand but we’re not gonna be worrying about that right now this is what you would be using if you were setting up like look firm’s permissions group manager permissions anything like that you wanted to change like roll colors you would use these codes because those are Chat formatting codes this is different this is for the message of the day this is what we’re worried about right now we have to use the slash use zero zero a seven and then the four which tells it to be red or the C which tells it to be Well actually this red this tells it to be dark red and then how the six would be gold he would be yellow and so on so let’s say we want to make the beginning of our let’s say we want to make our text yellow we’ll copy it copy the Yellow chat formatting code right here and we’re gonna put it right before the text that we want to change the color up so when we put this in what this is going to do is take everything after it and use this to format it so it’s gonna Take it and turn it all yellow so let’s just see if that worked real quick let’s just save it alright we can X out of that will minimize this for now X we don’t need it and let’s start our server back up we’re gonna let this initialize And then we’ll hop back over into minecraft and we’ll check it what the message of the day says in the server browser alright so now that it’s done we’ll hop back over into minecraft and we will refresh our server list and there you go you can see our message of The day turned yellow so now what I’m gonna show you guys how to do is how to make different parts of it bold different colors and let’s say we wanted to make this go on multiple lines like you can see up here I have bold text in Here plus it goes different colors and it’s on multiple lines so we’re gonna show you how to do this right now alright we’re gonna hop back over into where the server is and we’re going to stop our server again all right we’re gonna go back into server properties we’re gonna edit it go Back down and let’s uh let’s make the second line start right before it says voice dead so what we’re gonna want to do is type in an escape sequence which is gonna be slash and then we’re gonna put n for new line we don’t actually Want to hit enter but what this is gonna do is basically tell tell the message of the day to go to the next line so now we want to do is let’s maybe make this a different color and then we’re gonna make it make this second line bold so Let’s go back into where our formatting codes are let’s make our second color let’s do green copy that and this is very important you have to put the color formatting code before like the bold or any of the regular formatting code so the color has to come before the format Down here otherwise this won’t take effect so what we’re after what we’ll do is we’ll go back into here we will paste in the green formatting code and then we’re gonna come back down we’re gonna grab the one for bold which is right here and we’re gonna paste that one in And you can leave them all touching each other there doesn’t need to be spaces in here if you put spaces in here it’ll show up as extra spaces in between the words so you should just leave it all bunched up just like that just leave the Spaces where they need to be and what we can do is we can save this well that’s out of it and we’ll start the server back up and once this is done we’ll go check it out and let’s see what it looks like okay so it’s done we’re gonna hop Back over to minecraft again and we refresh once again we’ll let it ping might take a second to get through there we go yeah you can see now it’s on two lines void stuff servers green and it’s bold so that’s really all there is to it You guys can get creative with how you want to set it up how you can space things out to make it centered or you know bold certain things like it is down here you guys can really get creative with it but that’s basically all it is I will hop back in and if you guys liked this video be sure to drop a like on it and leave a comment if you have any questions I try to
