Chat Colors Mod introduces text features into Minecraft’s chat box. With this mod installed, you can add text text effects like bold, italic, strikethrough and underline to the messages you send in chat. These effects are achieved by strategically using symbols like (*), (~) and (_). These effects can also be combined to send text messages with multiple effects on the piece of text. Furthermore, you can also add color to your text by using the hex value of your required color. It is also possible to combine the text effects with the coloured text.
