🎨 Use formatting codes in anvils to style your item names!
This is an unofficial port of Colorful Anvils by rogi27 for Minecraft 1.21.8+.
How to Use
- Place an item in an anvil
- Type your name with formatting codes (e.g.
&c&lFire Sword) - Take the item - it now has colored text!
Check the gallery for examples of each formatting style!
✨ No Character Limit
Vanilla Minecraft limits anvil input to 50 characters. This mod removes that limit, so you can type long gradients, lore lines, and complex formatting without being cut off.
