by ancosa

Client-Side Color Codes lets players see Minecraft color codes in chat, item names, signs and other text without the server needing the mod.

What it does

The mod displays standard Minecraft color codes on the client side only. A player who installs it sees colored and styled text in chat messages, in names given on an anvil, on items shown in item frames, on entities given a name tag, and on signs, hanging signs included. Players who do not have the mod see the same text as plain characters, so the server never has to run anything extra.

Color codes use the standard format that most servers with colored text support. A code is written as an ampersand followed by a character, for example a&lHello shows a bold green word for the reader who has the mod. The command cscc get list prints the color codes that work, and the mod also covers text in written books. Fabric API must be installed alongside it.

Files are published for Fabric only, with builds for 1.21.4, 1.21.10, 1.21.11, 26.1.2 and 26.2. The latest file targets 26.2. The mod is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source, though its source code and issue tracker are publicly linked.

Key features

What the author says

CSCC allows you to create and see colored texts on every server fully client-side. Make fancy texts by using color codes in front of the text, e.g. &a&lHello — the "Hello" will be fat and in green. (standard format used on most servers with colored text support)
