Minecraft color codes for Bedrock Edition

It has been over a decade since the official release of Minecraft. In such a long span of time, the game has received countless updates. Many updates focused on quality of life features like adding colors to texts.

Players can type texts in many places in Minecraft. The chatbox is the most commonplace to use texts. By default, plain texts might seem boring to some players. Luckily, Mojang has added a feature called formatting codes to allow one to change text styles.

Most players use formatting codes, also known as color codes, to change text colors in Minecraft. This article lists all the color codes supported in Bedrock Edition.
