Getting the perfect colour for your shulker box names in Minecraft can add a nice personal touch to your inventory organisation. Unfortunately, Minecraft doesn't offer a direct colour picker for this. However, there are a few clever methods you can use to achieve a wide variety of colours. This guide will walk you through the process.

Understanding Minecraft's Naming System

Minecraft uses a system of § codes (section symbols), often referred to as Minecraft chat codes, to control text formatting, including colour. These codes are placed before the character you want to affect. For example, §aThis text will be green. will render green text.

Important Note: The § symbol is not directly typed. Instead, you need to use the appropriate character code depending on your operating system. For example, on most systems, you can type § by holding down the Alt key and typing 0167 on the numeric keypad. Other methods exist, and you may need to consult online resources to find the best method for your keyboard and operating system.

Available Colours and Codes

Here’s a table of the basic colours and their corresponding codes:

Applying the Codes to Shulker Box Names

To change the colour of your shulker box name, you need to prefix your desired text with the appropriate colour code. For example, to name a shulker box "Red Chest" in red text, you would type: §cRed Chest when renaming the box.

Remember: The § symbol is invisible in-game. It only controls the formatting of the following text.

Tips and Tricks

• Experimentation: Don't be afraid to try different combinations. You can achieve subtle variations by combining colours with other formatting codes (e.g., bold, italic, underlined).
• External Tools: Several online tools can help generate the correctly formatted names. These tools can automate the process of inserting the § symbol and the colour codes. Searching for "Minecraft name generator" will reveal various options.
• Specific Character Issues: Some characters may not render correctly with certain colour codes. If you encounter problems, try a different colour or simplify your text.

By following these steps and utilising the provided information, you should be able to successfully customise the text colour of your shulker box names. Enjoy your vibrant and organised inventory!
