Styling your own server?
Put your colours on a server of your own.
Coloured MOTDs, signs and chat all need a server to show up on. Deploy a Java or Bedrock server in seconds.
How to use the Minecraft text generator
On the Pixel font image tab, type your text, pick a colour and choose a size. Turn the shadow on for the classic in game look, and pick a transparent background to drop the text straight onto thumbnails, banners or Discord posts. Download the PNG or copy it to your clipboard. On the Colour code text tab, add pieces of text, give each its own colour and styles, and copy the result in the code style your server needs.
About the font
The images use Monocraft, an open font under the SIL Open Font License that is inspired by the game's look. It is not Mojang's own font, so your images are free to use. Sizes scale in whole steps, so the pixels stay sharp.
Minecraft chat colour codes
Colour codes are the same on Java Edition wherever they are supported. Put the colour first, then any styles.

Where to use the codes
- & codes work in chat, nicknames and many configs when a plugin such as EssentialsX translates them.
- § codes are what the game stores, and are read directly by some tools and files.
- § codes go in the motd line of server.properties, which needs § written as an escape.
Setting these up on your own Minecraft server? You can edit server.properties straight from the control panel.

Minecraft Font Generator FAQ
Can't find what you're looking for?
- ?
What font does Minecraft use?
Minecraft uses its own pixel font, which belongs to Mojang. This generator uses Monocraft instead, a free open font inspired by it, so you can use the images anywhere without worrying about the game's own assets.
- ?
Can I use the images commercially?
The font is licensed under the SIL Open Font License, which allows use in images and other work. The text you type and the images you make are yours. Minecraft is a trademark of Mojang, so avoid implying that your work is official.
- ?
How do Minecraft colour codes work?
A colour code is a symbol followed by one character. For example &a makes the text that follows green, and &l makes it bold. A colour code also clears earlier styles, so put the colour first and the styles after it, as this tool does.
- ?
Why does & not work in the game chat?
Vanilla Minecraft doesn't turn & into a colour. Server plugins such as EssentialsX do that for you. Use the § or \u00a7 versions where the game or a config file reads the raw code, for example the MOTD in server.properties.
- ?
How do I make a colourful server MOTD?
Build your text here, copy the \u00a7 version into the motd line of server.properties, or open the MOTD generator for a live server list preview and ready to use exports.
