What is parity? This category is designed just for features that exist but work one way on one platform, and another way on a different platform. Bugs are not parity! Items in snapshots and betas are subject to change so please be sure to only post about things that are currently released in Minecraft. Please read the intro post before you post!

(Bedrock Parity) Color Formatting

Currently, on the bedrock version of Minecraft, all you have to do to format text is insert the section symbol into a command to format it, but on the java version, you can not use the symbol in-game without external resources. So far, very few features have been brought from bedrock to java, only the other way around but this is a very small feature that I hope Mojang can consider introducing.

    Java Edition also allows many more features for text though, including custom Hex Codes that wouldn't work with just a section sign and a number 1-9. MC Stacker makes it easy.

    The section symbols are legacy and will be ultimately removed from both versions. Java already has a more powerful replacement, Bedrock does not yet.
