Velocitab supports the full range of modern color formatting, including RGB colors and gradients. Both MineDown (default), MiniMessage and Legacy formatting are supported. To change which formatter is being used, change the formatting_type value in config.yml to MINEDOWN, MINIMESSAGE or LEGACY respectively.

Formatting is applied on header, footer and player text for each server group, and is applied after Placeholders have been inserted.

MineDown syntax reference

MineDown is the default formatter type, enabled by setting formatting_type to MINEDOWN in config.yml. See the MineDown Syntax Reference on GitHub for the specification of how to format text with it.

MiniMessage syntax reference

MiniMessage formatting can be enabled by setting formatting_type to MINIMESSAGE in config.yml. See the MiniMessage Syntax Reference on the Adventure Docs for how to format text with it. Using MiniMessage as the formatter also allows compatibility for using MiniPlaceholders in text.

Legacy formatting

Warning:

The option for legacy formatting is provided only for backwards compatibility with other plugins. Please consider using the MineDown or MiniMessage options instead!

Legacy formatting can be enabled by setting formatting_type to LEGACY in config.yml. Legacy formatter supports Mojang color and formatting codes (e.g. &d, &l), Adventure-styled RGB color codes (e.g. &#a25981), as well as BungeeCord RGB color codes (e.g. &x&a&2&5&9&8&1). See the LegacyComponentSerializer Syntax Reference on the Adventure Docs for more technical details.
