The Disappearance of Colorful Books in EMC Minecraft 1.14.4

The recent update to EMC Minecraft 1.14.4 has brought some unwanted changes to the game's book formatting feature. Players who are accustomed to adding colors to their books using special characters may have noticed that this functionality is no longer available.

It seems that the developers of EMC Minecraft did not consider this change a significant enough bug fix to warrant mentioning in the History section on the official Minecraft Wiki page. However, players like us are left wondering why this feature was removed in the first place.

The lack of color formatting options is particularly frustrating for those who rely on books as a way to convey important information or add visual interest to their in-game writings. The removal of bold, italics, and underlined text may not be as detrimental, but the loss of 16 different colors available for use in books is a much bigger blow.

Players who are familiar with the Java edition of Minecraft will know that formatting options were completely removed from book creation in this version. Unfortunately, it seems that the same fate has befallen EMC Minecraft 1.14.4.

There is some good news, however. Old books created prior to the update still retain their original color formatting, and new books can still be created using commands (at least, as of 1.15). This means that players who have already invested time in creating colorful books for EMC Minecraft do not need to worry about their creations being lost forever.

But what about future book creation? Unfortunately, it seems unlikely that a plugin will be developed to restore color formatting options in EMC Minecraft. Players are left with the choice of writing in all capital letters, using spaces or accents, or finding alternative ways to add emphasis and visual interest to their books.

While some may see this as a minor issue, for those who rely on book formatting for creative expression or practical purposes, it is a significant loss. Here's hoping that future updates will bring back this beloved feature.
