# Text component

Customize text.

Text Components are used to display strings to the player, with more formatting options than a default string (color, bold, etc...)

Custom Machinery use these components in various places such as the machine name or tooltips properties.

The [Minecraft wiki](https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Raw_JSON_text_format#Java_Edition) have a full documentation of how to make text components using json. Be sure to follow the "Java edition" part.
