Hytale servers use a special formatting system based on color and formatting codes. These codes use the & symbol followed by a character to apply colors and styles to your text.
Color codes use the format &[0-9a-f] where each character represents a different color:
- &0-&9: Black, Dark Blue, Dark Green, Dark Aqua, Dark Red, Dark Purple, Gold, Gray, Dark Gray, Blue
- &a-&f: Green, Aqua, Red, Light Purple, Yellow, White
Formatting codes add styles to your text:
- &l: Bold text
- &m: Strikethrough text
- &n: Underlined text
- &o: Italic text
- &r: Reset all formatting
