更好的语言（Better language）
by 3807359273
更好的语言 (Better language) lets server operators and players color chat, signs, books, the sidebar and scoreboards using a symbol-based color system modeled on Bedrock Edition.
What it does
Colored text becomes possible in Java Edition through formatting symbols, a scheme modeled on the one Bedrock Edition offers for scoreboards, signs and sidebars. No complicated markup is required. Coloring reaches the sidebar, sign text, book and quill text, and chat.
Sneaking and right-clicking a sign opens a detailed editor for its text color and formatting, including bold. Players with operator permissions or in Creative mode can type /sb in the chat box to open the sidebar scoreboard configuration. A set of presets ships with the mod, and every color can be changed afterward.
Installation is needed on the server, while a client copy is optional, though a player running it too gets the full effect. Files are published for Fabric only, for 1.21.11, with 1.0.1 as the latest build from 2026-07-24. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
