Minecraft – Can’t rename world after adding “color”

minecraft-java-edition

I decided to rename my world in color but then I accidentally pressed backspace so I went to type it in again and it won't let me. I have no idea what to do and it was my favorite world. I DONT WANT TO LEAVE IT NAME LESS. Any suggestions? I also don't want to delete that world or delete minecraft because I have spent so much time on it. Thanks

You can edit the name of your world after applied changes with an NBT editor like NBTEdit or NBTExplorer.

This is how you would do it for NBT explorer:

Open up your NBT Explorer and navigate to the level.dat file in your save folder.

You will see many options for your world. Here, you scroll down to the Level Name tag, and edit it with the EDIT option on the top.

Then you can save, and also rename your world folder (the one inside saves) so you have the gray name on the bottom also. I did not test this, but I think you can use color codes in here too.
