ok so i know all the sign stuff; &1 = Blue &4 = Red etc etc, but i need help on something else; someone said that you can put a command (or other) on a sign to make it say the name of a player who goes near it. is it done: -playername- ?. not sure. Theres also a rumor u can underline and make writing bold on signs.
Read the guide. The colors and everthing is there. you might be thinking of costom res entering messages. In which case you must get gold/diamond supporter.
I don't think there's a command to place on a sign to say the nearest player's name. Perhaps this was mistaken for the command block that is in the snapshot? As for the underline, bold effects on signs, you can find them on the wiki. http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Color_Codes Just note that instead of the section(§) sign, use the "&" sign instead. The section sign is used in book and quills to make coloured, bold, underlined, italic and striked text(s).
actually section is the official way to do everything. We simply replace & with the section sign to make it easier for players to type. Using section on the sign will also still work, just not as convenient to type....
