In previous versions of Minecraft Bedrock Edition, special codes and formatting used in world names functioned correctly, allowing for creative and customized naming of game worlds. However, with the recent update introducing the new UI for the world selection screen, these codes no longer work as expected.
The new interface appears to strip or ignore the previously supported formatting codes, resulting in plain text names without the intended effects. This change affects both newly created worlds and older ones that were using special characters or formatting in their titles.
This issue impacts players and map creators who relied on these codes for organization, aesthetic purposes, or to display specific information in their world names. I hope this is an unintended bug and not a permanent removal of the feature.
It would be helpful if this could be addressed in a future patch or if there was an official clarification on whether the formatting functionality has been deliberately removed.
P.S.: Sorry for ChatGPT I’m not that good in english.
