Quotes ignore brackets
I am trying to place a sign to copy the use of Essentials' [Buy] Command, using this command:
/setblock ~ ~1 ~ wall_sign 5 replace {id:Sign,Text1:"[Buy]"}
But that command gives me this when it is executed
It seems as if even though the brackets are in Quotes, the command is seeing them as an exectuable string. Is there a way to bypass this?
