can't properly format server brands using §

[Godeps2891]

#Semblance Config
brand=§bTaterMC§r

^this is my semblance.properties file and below is how it looks ingame

Hello Godeps2891, thank you for your report. I will try and publish a solution as soon as possible though I have no eta for when that will be. Though I have two theories of what the issue may be: The first being that Mojang never intended the debug screen to render text formatted with the section symbol so it reads the formatting and doesn't properly remove the characters from the string resulting in the undesired characters or it has something to do with the String data type not being handled the same the same way as Minecraft's custom text data types.

Because I am curious and it could help me know the problem before attempting to fix it could you try using the ANSI escape codes in the config? I'm not sure how Minecraft handles them but they are mentioned on the wiki. If it works you can use that until I see if a proper solution is possible. Your config should look like this:

#Semblance Config
brand=\e[0;96mTaterMC\e[0m

If this doesn't work the first time try adding spaces.

[Godeps2891]

i did some more testing, the solution with using ANSI codes does not work, however JSON codes do, might wanna add a note in the readme or config file itself for that

#Semblance Config
brand=\e[0;96mTaterMC\e[0m

#Semblance Config
brand=\u00A7bTaterMC\u00A7r

So I took a look at this and think it has to do with a String be submitted instead of net.minecraft.text. I am still deciding how to resolve this as the method in game has the return type of String and in order to make it return Text I would have to use a redirect that could make it harder to ensure compatibility with some other mod that tries to mixin to the same method. If I decide to go with that and it works you would be able to use the section symbol (§) otherwise you will need to use the JSON codes which will be documented on the README and the Modrinth page.

fixed by better fabric better fabric console devs

adding onto this issue, there's a very weird incompatibility with better-fabric-console but only when the semblance config is set to format the brand using json codes

I created an issue on their repo as well because i don't know which of the two mods should address this
