MOTD Designer

The two lines under your server name in the Minecraft server list. Colours, hex, gradients, bold and more, with a live preview and code you can paste.

The red line marks where Minecraft cuts the text off (270 px).

Font style (selection, or the whole line)

Minecraft has one font. These styles use special Unicode letters that the game can show, so they work in every MOTD plugin and in server.properties.

server.properties only knows the 16 classic colours, so hex colours and gradients are rounded. For full colour use one of the formats below.
