Formatting Nicknames(top)

Depending on your donation features, you can change the appearance of your nickname in numerous ways.

Color(top)

You can change the color of your nickname and you are not restricted to using only one color code. To use color in your nickname, use the formatting code of &<color-code> in your nickname. Anything to the left of the first color code (including the ** prefix, which is applied to all nicknames) will have your rank's default name color.

The following colors can be used for color codes in nicknames:

&0 Black
&1 Dark Blue
&2 Dark Green
&5 Dark Purple
&6 Gold
&7 Gray
&8 Dark Gray
&a Green
&b Aqua
&d Light Purple (Pink)
&e Yellow
&f White
