Question 1

What is the /tellraw command?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 2

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

Accepted Answer

Java 1.16 introduced HEX color support (#RRGGBB) and the font attribute. On 1.15 and older you must use one of the 16 vanilla color names; the generator falls back to the closest match automatically.

Question 3

Does Bedrock Edition support clicks and hovers?

Accepted Answer

No. Bedrock /tellraw uses a rawtext format with § color codes only. Click and hover events are silently ignored. The generator converts hover text into parentheses so the information isn't lost.

Question 4

How do I send the message to all players?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 5

What can I do with click events?

Accepted Answer

Click events let players open URLs, run commands, suggest commands in their chat box, copy text to the clipboard, or change book pages — all by clicking the rendered text in chat.

Question 6

Will the generator save my work?

Accepted Answer

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