Turn plain text into a smooth hex color gradient for Minecraft chat, signs, books, and plugin configs. Your setup is saved to the URL, so you can copy the link to share or bookmark it.
Type or paste your text, pick two or more colors to gradient across, and choose the output format your server or plugin expects:
Legacy (ยง) uses the raw section-symbol hex trick that works anywhere vanilla formatting works, like signs and books.
Ampersand (&#) is the shorthand most plugins (EssentialsX, LuckPerms, DeluxeMenus, and similar) parse directly in their config files.
MiniMessage outputs a native <gradient> tag for Adventure-based
plugins on Paper.
