You can get the “redacted” or glitchy Minecraft text by using the obfuscation format code: §k before the text you want to scramble.

How it works

  • Type §k and then your message, and the characters will appear as moving random glyphs in supported places.
  • To stop it, use §r to reset formatting.
  • In many vanilla cases, you can’t type the § symbol directly in chat, and it’s usually limited to books, command outputs, or server-side formatting rather than normal player chat.

Examples

  • In a book: §kHello
  • Reset afterward: §kHello§r
  • In commands, obfuscation can also be done through text components such as /tellraw with obfuscated text.

Notes

  • On some servers or plugins, &k is accepted as a shortcut, but that is not standard vanilla behavior.
  • If you mean actual censored or hidden logs rather than the visual glitch text effect, that is a different thing; some mods redact log data like IPs or coordinates into [REDACTED].

If you want, I can show the exact command or book text format for Java or Bedrock.
