Tail Text Preview — Real-time Minecraft Text Formatting

Tail Text Preview is a client-side Minecraft mod that provides a convenient GUI for creating and previewing formatted text in real time.

Instead of manually guessing color codes and formatting styles, you can type your text, apply colors or styles, preview the result, and copy the generated formatting code for use in commands, signs, books, or other supported text fields.

Key Features

• Live Preview
  Preview formatted Minecraft text while you edit it.

• Quick Formatting
  Apply standard Minecraft colors and formatting styles through a simple visual interface.

• Undo and Redo
  Use Ctrl+Z and Ctrl+Y to quickly undo or redo changes.

• Custom Key Bindings
  Create custom hotkeys for colors and formatting styles using the settings menu.

• Persistent Input
  Your text is saved when the menu is closed and restored when you open it again.

• One-Click Copy
  Copy the generated formatted text code to your clipboard for use in commands, signs, books, and similar places.

• Convenient Code Insertion
  Formatting codes can be inserted into your text quickly, making it easier to build styled messages without typing every code manually.

Who is this for?

Tail Text Preview is useful for:

• Server administrators creating announcements, ranks, messages, or command text
• Map makers designing books, signs, titles, and custom text
• Datapack or command creators working with formatted Minecraft text
• Players who want an easier way to prepare styled text

Client-Side Only

Tail Text Preview is a client-side mod. It does not need to be installed on the server.

Please note that whether formatted text works in a specific place may still depend on Minecraft limitations, server permissions, plugins, or the command/text field where the result is used.
