Minecraft Tellraw Generator turns plain wording into Java Edition JSON text components for /tellraw. Set named colors, bold italic underline, optional click events, and hover show_text, then preview the colored result and copy either a full /tellraw @a {...} command or the raw JSON alone.
Drafting chat announcements by hand is easy to break with a missing brace or wrong clickEvent key. This tool keeps the shape valid while you focus on message, color, and interaction. Everything runs client-side in your browser.
Use it for join messages, shop prompts, rule reminders, clickable warp hints, and map tutorials. Combine with title and MOTD tools when you want the same brand voice across chat, screen titles, and the multiplayer list.

Tips and limits
- This builder emits one component object. For multi-part messages, copy JSON pieces into an array manually.
- run_command click events still respect permission and require a click from the player.
- open_url should use a full https URL players trust.
- Preview is approximate; always smoke-test in-game for your exact version.
- Prefer tellraw over plain say when you need colors or interactions.

FAQ
Should I copy the command or raw JSON?
Use the /tellraw command for quick pastes into chat or command blocks. Use raw JSON when another system expects only the component object.
Why is my hover using contents?
Modern Java Edition hoverEvent show_text commonly uses contents for the tooltip text. That is what this tool emits.
Is text uploaded anywhere?
No. Preview and JSON serialization run entirely in the browser.
Can I embed the tool?
Use the [beeforge_minecraft_tellraw_generator] shortcode on BeeForge WordPress pages after the module is registered.
