What is the /tellraw command?

/tellraw is a Minecraft command that sends a JSON-formatted message to a player or selector. Unlike /say, /tellraw supports colors, styles, click and hover events, and dynamic content like scoreboards, selectors, and keybinds.

What is the difference between Java 1.16+ and 1.15-?

The AlaCraft /tellraw generator supports three syntaxes and automatically outputs the right one. Java 1.15-: only 16 vanilla colors, no HEX. Java 1.16–1.21.4: HEX colors (#RRGGBB), camelCase fields clickEvent and hoverEvent. Java 1.21.5+ / 26.x (snapshot 25w02a, January 2026): Mojang switched to snake_case — click_event, hover_event; inner fields renamed by action: open_url → url, run_command → command, change_page → page.

Does Bedrock Edition support clicks and hovers?

No. Bedrock /tellraw uses a rawtext format with § color codes only — unlike Java editions, which support JSON. clickEvent and hoverEvent are ignored. The AlaCraft /tellraw generator converts hover text into parentheses so the information isn't lost.

How do I send the message to all players?

Use the @a selector in your /tellraw command. The selector field at the top of the AlaCraft /tellraw editor lets you target @a (everyone), @p (nearest), @s (self), or a specific player name.

What can I do with click events?

/tellraw clickEvent supports 5 action types: open_url — opens a URL in the browser; run_command — executes a command as the player; suggest_command — fills the chat box with text; copy_to_clipboard — copies a string; change_page — turns a book page.

Will the generator save my work?

Yes — segments, mode and target version are saved to your browser's localStorage automatically. Reopening the page restores your last session.
