How to Communicate on Minecraft

Minecraft doesn't have a built-in video or audio communications program, but you can speak in text on the game. Players can alter the text chat in Minecraft to display different colors and types of formatting, like bold, obfuscated or underlined fonts. Even though no audio or video is available, you can use alternative programs for easier chat while you play, as long as you coordinate with other players to make sure everyone has the same program and each others' user IDs.
