User:Chello1801/Sandbox/Legacy Console Edition formatting codes

Formatting codes are codes used to apply colors and other modifications to text in-game.

There are multiple types of formatting codes on the Legacy Console Edition. Using the  symbol it is possible to change the text color, or make them obfuscated. However these only work on signs, name tags and splash texts. For the games internal language files different formatting codes are used. For example  which gets the target player name and is mostly used for chat messages, or   which colors a text green.

Usage
The color of a text can be altered using the  symbol, followed by a hex digit. Unlike on Java Edition or Bedrock Edition, it is not possible to make text underlined, strikethrough, bold or italic. However it can be made obfuscated by entering any digit after the  that isn't a hex digit.

In the internal language files the  symbol isn't used, but rather using the   format; e. g. ,  ,  , etc.

Format codes
Entering any digit that isn't a hex digit will make the text obfuscated, except for  which will reset the text color and format.

Internal codes
Internal codes are used in the language files, chat messages and in message boxes. These can be used to display a picture or an icon, to color text and to get other information.
