/title display rainbow text?
Hi, I have been working on editing a datapack which adds extra music discs to Minecraft. Recently I added the ability for the game to show the name of the song when placed in the Jukebox. Currently I have the text set to Light Purple, as that is what it displays as in Bedrock Edition. But ideally I would like it to show as rainbow coloured, as the normal vanilla music discs do. Currently I am using this command to display the text:
title @p actionbar {"text":"Now Playing: John Williams - Duel of the Fates","color":"light_purple"}
Is there any way I can change this to allow the multicolour text which the vanilla disc use?
Any feedback is appreciated!
title @p actionbar {"text":"Now Playing: John Williams - Duel of the Fates","color":"light_purple"}

The color fading of the jukebox is hardcoded and not something you could easily replicate, let alone smoothly replicate at all until 1,16,
1.16 added the ability to use hexadecimal color codes in the "color" field in the format #RRGGBB like "#0000FF" for pure blue or "#FFFFFF" for pure white. You just put a color code like that in instead of a preset color like "light purple" and you can use any color you want.
Now, to get a smooth color fade, you need to make the sequence of colors that you want and use a scoreboard to determine what to do. For example, this code should do about what you need. You can use more or less colors for a faster or slower cycle or reduce the number of commands by syncing the colors for all users and splitting the code into multiple functions so not all of it needs to be read through each tick.

Go ahead and create a scoreboard objective and copy that into a function that gets called every tick. Make sure you create the scoreboard objectives.
With a little bit of recording and frame-by-frame analysis, you could determine what colors the original uses and match it the best you can. Only limit is you have a 20 FPS limit instead of the full framerate (60+) of the computer.

Thank you! I'm very new to datapack programming, most of what I know comes from reverse engineering various data packs. Is there any chance you could show me an example datapack so I can reverse engineer the code, and then refine it to hopefully create something almost identical to vanilla?

Please DM me your discord tag or something, I can show you how to add the custom colors to your existing pack and how to optimize them. I was also thinking of changing a few things (make the sound come from the jukebox instead of the player, use an advancement to detect placing disc instead of a function every tick, etc) and briefly considering a major overhaul that would be completely unnecessary.

Well, you need to have a command for each different color it cycles between, so to get a smooth cycle across the whole color spectrum you need 12 or so commands like this. The top 3 commands change which one of the colors listed gets used each frame.

Also add the objective declaration to #minecraft:load:
scoreboard objectives add jukebox_color dummyNo, you can put them in an existing function tagged in #minecraft:load or a new function that you add to #minecraft:load or just run them manually. Putting them directly in the tag will not work since it only accepts functions. Additionally, it will result in the tag itself failing to load.
Also, there is a second objective you must create, jukebox_timer, that controls how long the message stays on screen (also need to set up the actionbar timer to only hold it up a tick or so as well) since the colors will loop by default instead of just doing one cycle and disappearing.

Of course not in the tag file. That's how we talk, because it's obvious that commands are put in tagged functions and not in the tag itself. And no, DON'T run it manually if you want your data pack to work on worlds other than your testing world.
The point is that this IS a test and not to be used as the final version. The proper version would be spread over a couple functions to avoid unnecessary command calls, use more colors (this one cycles in about half a second), and will likely use different variables.
Of course this is just an example, but even examples should be good examples.
Sounds kinda stupid, but this is the best way:
title @p actionbar [{"text":"N","color":"red"}, {"text":"o","color":"blue"}, {"text":"w","color":"green"}]And so on. That's the only way.This is not what Garfieldwxg55 is looking for. The goal is to make the entire message fade between different colors like the vanilla jukebox does, not to make the letters themselves different colors. Besides, in 1.16 you can use any color, not just the predefined 16.
Oh yeah I'm stupid. And ik about 1.16 colors, it was just an example.
