Spaces are skipped, so they do not eat into the length limit. 02 ### **Pick your colors** Two stops give a straight fade. Add more to route the gradient through them — each stop gets an equal share of the text. 03 ### **Copy the right format** MiniMessage if your server runs Paper or Velocity, &-hex for most chat plugins, §x for signs, books and anything older. ## **Frequently asked questions** ## **Come say hi** Support, mod recommendations, build feedback and weekend events.
