Overview:

This blog is going to tell you about a very useful command lots of map makers use, and that is /tellraw. /tellraw is a very useful command that can do many things. I am just going to show you the very basics.


Tellraw:


Tellraw is one of the most useful tools in map making. there are many things you can do with it, for instance, you can put a clickable link in the chat, bringing the player to your website, youtube channel or other online destination. You can also make amazing looking colored text in the chat, or chat that can teleport a player to a designated spot. all-in-all it is an extremely useful command. The way you start a tellraw command is /tellraw @a {text:"Hi"} (@p @r @a and @e are the four target types. You can also target a specific player by putting there name where one of the four target types would be. @p means the nearest player, @r means a random player, @a means all players and @e means a entity) This is the basic command. You can also add tags within the brackets like {text:"Hello", color:dark_green}, or {text:"Hello", underlined:true}. There are twenty-one different tags, but I will only be explaining the major ones. The first tag to learn is the color tag, here is how you would use it: /tellraw @a {text:"hello",color_green}. When adding multiple tags to one piece of text, you must put commas between each tag, for instance: /tellraw @a {text:"Hello", color:dark_green, underlined:true}.  This will appear as a underlined green Hello. You may also add the bold tag. /tellraw @a {text:"Hello", color:dark_green, underlined:true, bold:true}. This will appear as a green underlined bold Hello. I will not continue blabbering on about what does what, I have given you a list of the colors and the basic tags for you to experiment with.


Colors:

black, gray, dark_gray, white, yellow, gold, aqua, dark_aqua, green, dark_green, light_purple, dark_purple, red, dark_red, blue and dark_blue.

Tags:

color, bold, italic, underlined, strikethrough and obfuscated.
