Solved § Symbol

I see people in their code using the § symbol instead of ChatColor.RED, I was wondering how you do it? Is it possible to do it on a english keyboard? I did it by copy pasting it from a wiki

 

It's an alt-code:
press and hold alt, and do 0167 in that order.
§
Or copy/paste it.

 

An example of using it would be:

Code:java

player.sendMessage("§4Hi");

So you do §(0-9, a-f) Works like the "&" symbol on bukkit servers.

It dosnt seem to do anything? :3

 

That's the way to input the Unicode version of it on Windows. You can hold alt and then press 21 or 0167. Otherwise, you can copy and paste it, or use one of these in your Strings:

Code:

§
\u0167
ChatColor.COLOR_CHAR

Note: I recommend using the ChatColor enum constants instead of §. Minecraft specs change all the time!
