u00a7
Brings back the good old formatting codes.
About this Mod
Simply type or copypaste your favorite formatting codes and it just works.
Additionally, you can use Ctrl+& or Ctrl+7 to type formatting symbols (i.e. section signs, §) easily and swiftly.
Configuration screen is still work in progress.
Installation
Minecraft 1.17-1.19.2 and the latest Fabric Loader is required.
Support for other versions is still work in progress.
The mod needs to be installed on client-side.
In multiplayer, the server must accept packets that contains formatting codes otherwise the player will be kicked. Signs with formatting codes also need particular server-side support. You may either install mods or plugins that unlocks formatting codes (e.g. u00a7 :P) on the server-side or use servers that ship with no builtin formatting codes bans (e.g. any vanilla server before 1.14).
