Color Codes Reference

HyperPerms supports Minecraft-style color codes for formatting prefixes, suffixes, and chat messages. Use these codes to add color and style to your ranks.

Color Codes

Color codes use the & symbol followed by a character. These work in prefixes, suffixes, and chat formatting.

Formatting Codes

In addition to colors, you can apply text formatting styles:

Usage Examples

Simple Prefix

# Red Admin prefix
&c[Admin]

# Gold VIP prefix
&6[VIP]

# Green Member prefix
&a[Member]

Multi-Color Prefix

# Rainbow effect
&c[&6R&ea&an&bk&9]

# Gradient style
&4[&cOwner&4]

# With formatting
&c&l[ADMIN]

Prefix with Name Coloring

# Prefix that colors the player name
&c[Admin] &c

# The trailing &c will color the player's name red
# Result: [Admin] Steve (all in red)

Combining Colors and Formatting

You can combine colors with formatting codes. Apply formatting after the color:

# Bold red text
&c&lBold Red

# Underlined gold text
&6&nUnderlined Gold

# Bold italic green text
&a&l&oFancy Green

Hex Colors

HyperPerms also supports hex color codes for more precise colors:

# Hex color format
&#RRGGBB

# Examples
&#FF5733[Custom Orange]
&#9B59B6[Custom Purple]
&#3498DB[Custom Blue]

Chat Format Example

Here's an example chat format configuration:

{
  "chat": {
    "format": "%prefix%&f%player%%suffix%&8: &7%message%"
  }
}

This format results in:

• Prefix with its own colors
• Player name in white (&f)
• Suffix with its own colors
• Colon in dark gray (&8)
• Message in gray (&7)

Common Prefix Patterns

# Staff Ranks
&4[Owner] &4      # Dark red
&c[Admin] &c      # Red
&6[Mod] &6        # Gold
&e[Helper] &e     # Yellow

# Donor Ranks
&d[MVP+] &d       # Light purple
&b[MVP] &b        # Aqua
&a[VIP+] &a       # Green
&2[VIP] &2        # Dark green

# Default
&7[Member] &7     # Gray
