Confirmed working with Minecraft 1.12
Welcome to my tutorial on how to colour and format your servers MOTD! If you're here, then you have probably tried to do a MOTD such as "&5Vauff's Awesome Server!". Sadly though, it would have shown up like this.
Let's try to fix this shall we? First we're going to need to get rid of the &5 and make the MOTD "Vauff's Awesome Server!" again. Before we more in depth to tutorial lets go over the colour and formatting codes again.
&0 - BLACK
&1 - DARK BLUE
&2 - DARK GREEN
&3 - DARK AQUA
&4 - DARK RED
&5 - DARK PURPLE
&6 - GOLD
&7 - GRAY
&8 - DARK GRAY
&9 - INDIGO
&a - GREEN
&b - AQUA
&c - RED
&d - PINK
&e - YELLOW
&f - WHITE
&k - Obfuscated
&l - Bold
&m - Strikethrough
&n - Underline
&o - Italic
&r - Reset
Now, in order to get our MOTD coloured or formatted we need to put \u00A7 instead of the &. So something like &5 would turn into \u00A75. The full list of these is listed below.
\u00A70 - BLACK
\u00A71 - DARK BLUE
\u00A72 - DARK GREEN
\u00A73 - DARK AQUA
\u00A74 - DARK RED
\u00A75 - DARK PURPLE
\u00A76 - GOLD
\u00A77 - GRAY
\u00A78 - DARK GRAY
\u00A79 - INDIGO
\u00A7a - GREEN
\u00A7b - AQUA
\u00A7c - RED
\u00A7d - PINK
\u00A7e - YELLOW
\u00A7f - WHITE
\u00A7k - Obfuscated
\u00A7l - Bold
\u00A7m - Strikethrough
\u00A7n - Underline
\u00A7o - Italic
\u00A7r - Reset
You would also be able to use § in replacement of the & instead of \u00A7 if you choose to do so.
After replacing the &5 in my MOTD with \u00A75 my MOTD now looks like this.
Hope you found this tutorial helpful

Hey all,
I am looking to start a new Minecraft Server with fascinating buildings and fun MiniGames and other modes. For this to happen, I need to hire quality builders that are willing to build.

Name of proposed server: TransNova Server
How much RAM you want: 1GB or more
How many player slots: 16 or more [preferably 32+]
Describe your server idea: At spawn, there will be four portals [MiniGames, Survival, Factions, Shop]. Our server mainly focuses on MiniGames, which contains Elemental Arena, WarHorse Arena, and the EnderPearl Arena. In the Elemental Arena, there will be four teams [Fire, water, earth, air] which has their specialities and weaknesses, the arena which they will fight will also have four islands, each made according to the elements. In the WarHorse Arena, there is two options, one is that the goal is to kill the opponents' horses, and the other is to kill the opponents. There will also be kits for each player to choose. Finally, the EnderPearl Arena has an arena made of Prismarine, and each player will be given EnderPearls for them to teleport upwards to the upper arena, and they will be given swords and bows. When a player kills another, the player would get five coins, so using these coins, they can buy armour, weapons and potions in the shop. The survival would have many special effects and skills which players could master and pick.
Why you want this server: I believe we already have a great map but we don't have a good server. So if a server hosting company sponsors us, I believe our server would be much more popular. Also, I want every player on our server to have fun and develop long-lasting friendship.
On a scale of 1-10, how badly do you want the server?: 9.5
Proposed Plugins: N/A, Vanilla [Probably will be Bukkit in the future]
How do you plan to generate money?: There will be Diamond Rank, Gold Rank, Iron Rank and Redstone Rank. If they pay, they will get particles on them and the Diamond Rank can choose any particle they would like. There will also be announcements which announces players' ranks.
Do you already have a community? If so, how many active players? If not, how will you be getting players?: Yes. There is seven active players. In order to get more, I will get more players by advertising on Planet Minecraft and starting my own server website.
What makes your server special? Why should I join your server instead of that other server?: Everybody is treated equal. In the server, everyone treats everybody like we're already best friends and helps them. Also, there are many cool effects on the server and the unique gameplay can give players an excitement that they have never felt before. Also, people could help us build arenas and other things they would like.
Is there a reason why you can't pay for this server?: Yes. I don't have a credit card.
What is your preferred method of contact? Skype? PM?: Skype preferably. If not, I could private message also.
What you will do for the company in return: 80%+ donations come to you, and I will get a credit card in the future, so I could pay back all the money that the sponsoring spent.
Thank You!
P.S. Below is the pictures for the Spawn, EnderPearl Arena and the Redstoning.

Welcome to the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D Server.
In this server, players will go on quests and missions, battle players, slay demons, and corporate with each other. Except Agent Coulson and Grant Ward, which will be played by staffs, players will be chosen to be a character randomly or chosen by themselves. Each day, there will be a different mission, so players will not be exhausted by playing a mission for many times.
We will provide you with an excellent visual experience, with exactly the same settings as the TV Series, and you will be fascinated with the perfection of how the mission goes and how pleasurable it is.
Currently we are at a stage of building and getting the NPCs ready, so if you want to help, please fill out an application of either an Admin, a Moderator, a Chief Builder, or a Builder.
