<rainbow:[!][phase]> |
<rainbow> <rainbow:!> <rainbow:2> <rainbow:!2> |
! reverses the rainbow direction and phase shifts the rainbow starting point |
<gradient:[color1]:[color...]> |
<gradient:#ff0000:#00ff00>Example</gradient> |
Transitions between colors. |
<transition:[color1]:[color...]:[phase]> |
<transition:#ffffff:#000000:0>Example</transition> |
Transitions between colors. Similar to a gradient, but everything is the same color and the phase chooses that color |
<font:[key]> |
<font:alt>Example</font> |

<[deocraion]> |
<bold> <underlined> <st> <obf> <i> <!i> |

<sprite[:atlas]> |
<sprite:blocks:block/stone> |
Embeds a sprite icon from a specified texture atlas directly into your item name. The atlas parameter specifies the texture atlas to use (e.g., blocks, items), followed by the sprite path. This allows you to add visual icons alongside your text. |
<head:name|uuid|texture[:outer_layer]> |
My favorite dev is <head:9f55c7c9-fecb-4baa-a65d-da2bb0aabde1>. |
Displays a player head in your item name. You can specify the player by their username, UUID, or custom texture value. The optional outer_layer parameter controls whether to show the second layer of the player skin (like hats or overlays). |
