### APPLYING A NICKNAME

* Preview color codes above. Each code requires & Infront of it.

To apply a nickname, do /nick \<nick name>, without color codes.

To apply a nickname with vanilla color codes, you need to do /nick &\<color code>\<text>.

For example, let's say you wanted your nickname to be "Test", but half Light Red, and half Light Blue(aqua). You would do <mark style="color:green;">**`/nick &cTe&bst`**</mark>. <mark style="color:red;">**Every color code needs the & symbol!**</mark>

This would look like this in-game:

### APPLYING A NICKNAME WITH HEX COLOR CODES

Hex color codes are one type of HTML color code that you’ll often hear referred to as hexadecimal color or hex.&#x20;

To apply a hex color code, you will need to use the format \&#123abc.

Before you set your nickname, consider using a RGB/Gradient Generator site to get your hex color codes. We highly recommend [https://www.birdflop.com/resources/rgb/](https://www.birdflop.com/resources/rgb/).

1. Enter your nickname in the Input Text Section.
2. Click the text inside the Output section.
3. Do <mark style="color:green;">**`/nick`**</mark> in-game and then <mark style="color:green;">**ctrl+v**</mark> to paste.

Using the example image below, you would of done the command:

```
/nick &#691A1AT&#583440e&#464E66s&#35698Dt&#2383B3i&#129DD9n&#00B7FFg
```

If you would like a simpler nickname, like one without a colored gradient, use a site such as [https://htmlcolorcodes.com/color-picker/](https://htmlcolorcodes.com/color-picker/) to find a color of your choice.
