How to Change the Your Skin and Color of Your Name in Minecraft

The sandbox masterpiece Minecraft is the epitome of a custom gaming. As you build your world and explore the Minecraft Universe, the only limits to what you can achieve are your imagination and the amount of time you have to play.

 

When running around the blocky landscapes in multiplayer, your name is a default color, and you have a limited number of appearance options available. Who wants to be limited to a single name color and a stock skin appearance? If you answered, “Not me!” then this guide is for you. We will go through two ways to change your name color and how to get awesome skins from Skins4Minecraft.com.

 

Changing the Color of Your Name

To change the color of your name from the standard black or

white text, you can use the chat feature of Minecraft. A simple three-step

process will allow you to change the color of your name to almost any color.

Using “/scoreboard”

The “/scoreboard” command in the Minecraft multiplayer chat

is the area where you can access scoreboard options. To change your player

name, you want to create your team with your team color. Follow these steps to

become a custom color guru.

 

1. Open the chat and type, “/scoreboard teams add (team name)” you can name your team whatever you want. If you like, you can be the Purple Unicorn Elephants. If this were your team name, you would type /scoreboard teams add Purple Unicorn Elephants.

 

2. Once you create your new team name, you need to join your new team. You do this with the following command, “/scoreboard teams join (team name).” To join our new purple pachyderm team you would type,scoreboard teams join Purple Unicorn Elephants. Congratulations, you are now a mystical single horned elephant.

 

3. Now that you have your new team, you enter a third command to change the display color of your name, “/scoreboard teams option (team name) color (choose the color you want).” Before you choose your color, you can view a list of available colors by typing, “/scoreboard teams option Purple Unicorn Elephants color” then hit “Tab” on your keyboard. Hitting Tab will bring up a list of all the available name colors.

Once you find the color you want, jump back

into the chat box and type “/scoreboard teams options Purple Unicorn Elephants

color orange.” The command path will change your display name to orange. Anyone who joins your team will have the same color name.

 

To check to make sure that your name is

appearing the way you want, announce your team name in the chat box “We are the

Purple Unicorn Elephants!” Your name next to your typed text should appear

orange.
