This has been fixed, however links are still not clickable: MC-30864
Duplicate of MC-30864
Looks like Mojang thought nobody would have a domain name of 1 letter. Could be a duplicate of MC-30864 though.
To reproduce: Make sure web links are enabled, then run the following command and click on "Clicky!" in the chat:
/tellraw @a {text:"",extra:[{text:Clicky!,clickEvent:{action:open_url,value:"http://google.com/"}}]}
The resulting popup will not display the URL you would be taken to. See attached screenshot.
Relates to MC-30864.
Intended, see MC-30864.
Invalid, automatic link parsing of normal text in the chat is no longer supported, see MC-30864
Dupe of MC-30864
Invalid, clicking links in chat is a removed feature, see MC-30864
Can't reproduce (the link is clickable) using this command:
/tellraw @p {"text":"test","clickEvent":{"action":"open_url","value":"http://m.ly"}}
Resolved to MC-30864 because of the provided Steps to Reproduce.

Same here, was just about to report this. Upboated.
My cursor isn't viewable with printscreen but I'm actually clicking the links and it's not working.
Confirmed.
Having this problem with newest snapshot too.
confirmed! none of the links that appear in the map I'm working on work anymore
Still an issue in 41a
Updated description
hey Sean, could you please add more labels so the devs can find it more easily? like these: command, link, hyperlink, commandblock, web. Thanks!
Oh yeah sure, I added a few labels for you.
thanks
still an issue in 42b!
Yep, shucks. Updated.
Still an issue with 1.7
Nooo it didn't get fixed in 1.7.2!!
still an issue in 1.7.2
Can confirm as well in 1.7.2, allthough Screenshot links do still work.
Actually hope this gets fixed < 1.8.x (1.7.3 or so) =/
Screenshot links won't open either for me.
there is no need to confirm it anymore, you can see it in the top of this bug report. Though I indeed hope it gets fixed in 13w48a
I didn't confirm anything, i simply hope it gets fixed before 1.8.x
Just some information about this issue. In 1.7, links are not parsed inside normal text sent by the server. To have clickable links, the server has to sent them in special way so they can be clicked on the client. So instead of sending:
{"text": "http://link"}the server needs to send
{"text": "http://link", "clickEvent": {"action": "open_url", "value": "http://link"}}
(See https://gist.github.com/thinkofdeath/e882ce057ed83bac0a1c for more information about this)
I'm not sure this will be changed. But it should be easy to have a bukkit plugin in the future that does this.
still in 13w47e
Also in 13w48b ...
Also in 13w49a / 1.7.3 Pre-release
Still an issue in the 1.7.3 Pre-release. It's surprising how long this has gone unfixed. Hopefully one of the devs will see this issue and fix before the 1.7.3 release.
@ Jeremy: I wholeheartedly agree with you
Still in 1.7.4 pre-release
We have nothing against people being upset by something, but it isn't helpful to have comments that do nothing but complain. It makes scrolling through them longer and doesn't encourage people to make useful comments. We can't fix it; only Mojang can do that, so hearing people comment that they can't believe it hasn't been fixed yet will not achieve anything.
Works fine for me.
I believe you are mistaken Jack, this bug is still unresolved. Are you sure you tested it in the latest vanilla snapshot?
It said it is broken in 1.7.2, but it works fine for me in 1.7.2.
Thank you for the clarification and feedback. May I remind you the focus of this bug is on the snapshots and not on official versions. I'm unable to edit previous versions because they are reported as "archived"; That being said can any mod delete 1.7.2 off that list for me?
Unfortunately, the lock on archived versions cannot be changed by Moderators. The version needs to be taken out of the archive before it can be added or removed from any ticket. We'll try to request temporary de-archiving of 1.7.2.
unbelievable it's still not fixed.
Still in 1.7.5.

Confirmed for 1.8. Even with Web Links set to ON in options, clicking on them has no effect.
Same results here with Mac OS 7.5 , 10.9 and 10.10 beta 5
Here I am with another fix for this. This time in the form of a Forge fork.
https://github.com/killjoy1221/MinecraftForge/commit/93f574d4db8fa633b9fcdd4ba4d4e943fe80e991
I might be completely wrong, but I've heard that mojang can't do anything with this because they're not using the obfuscated code.
Not trying to be rude, Jesper, but can you find any source saying that Mojang literally can't fix this?
works fine on the couple of servers that I play on that actually have it enabled. Perhaps you are on a server that does not have it enabled, which is what it looks like by that screenshot.
@Bob Dobbs: It might work on modded servers (Bukkit or Spigot p.g.), but in Vanilla it definitely is disabled.
@violine no it's not. I only play vanilla. I can even post some adresses of vanilla servers where it works if you'd like.
Not only does it need to be enabled in your client under chat setting, the server has to enable it. Ask the admin/owner/moderator of the server you are playing on. Most servers keep it off because it can be a huge security risk among other reasons.
make sure to add http:// too
Bob: I'd really like to know how to enable this on a 1.8 vanilla server. There's nothing in the "server.properties" file that's even remotely related to web links in chat. If there's an option to turn web links on/off, it's totally undocumented! I've been running a pure-vanilla server since mid-january, and I tried pretty much everything to no avail.
Not to contradict you, but most servers that are "vanilla" actually aren't. Most of them still use bukkit/spigot for minimal protection, resource management and player tracking, while giving no perks whatsoever to the players, for a close-to-real vanilla experience. I bet all those servers you talk about use that! Then again, I might be wrong... it happened before! XD
@Sonic It's in the comments of this very old bug:
MC-1390Also, this tweet
@Jesper, Sonic and Matthew Messinger:
I agree that a MCP version is very different from Mojang's version of the code (and a Forge version even more), but I disagree that it is completely impossible for Mojang to fix this bug. And I think that the fix by Matthew might help Mojang by fixing this bug, although it is in the form of a Forge fork, so it actually was not unnecessary.
@Bob Dobbs and Early Reflections:
I tested it on two servers. One is pure-vanilla (Vanilla 1.8) and the other one is vanilla-like (Spigot 1.7.9 as far as I know, but you're able to join with 1.8). I can confirm that web links do not work on the pure-vanilla server and that they work on the Spigot server. So, it's a server-side problem because it works on non-vanilla servers. And - the http:// does not change anything. And if you still don't trust me, try it out in Singleplayer, there it also does not work.
Sonic and violine1101, I believe Jesper is referring to the deobfuscated code being mostly useless to Mojang, not saying that this issue is not fixable.
Bob, modded servers such as Bukkit/Spigot do not require the client side to be modded, but is still not vanilla behavior of a server. The reason web links do not work is because the chat format has been modified to be only plain text by default; the client will only render links if explicitly specified.
Vanilla servers currently do not make arbitrary links clickable, but it is possible to send predefined, clickable links via the tellraw command. This issue is only a matter of verifying whether this behavior is intended.
Still in the game as of 15w45a. Hopefully you guys can get around to fixing this.
Marked as "Works as intended"... As far as I can remember, web links never worked in snapshots. For what reason exactly? Just curious!
Edit: I've just read the answer two posts above... Slaps face
hey dude! it happened to me to after i played little bit with this
i got an idea if u played with your settings
press esc --> options --> chat settings --> web links/prompt on links — on
i think its not working on single player but if this isnt working.... not mah problem cuz for me its working
Not working in 1.9 release.
@Early Reflections: So you knew this ticket was resolved as WAI and you still confirmed it as WAI? If you don't have a very good reason for that you should consider this your final warning.
@redstonehelper
Sorry. I misinterpreted the WAI as only applying to snapshots. The option is still in the game to enable/disable them. As far as I can remember, weblinks never worked in snapshots and that was indeed intended. My bad!
I don't think I deserve a warning, even more a final one, for such a minor misinterpretation. Or did I do something seriously wrong to upset you, that I'm not aware of?
This and the other thing I shouted at you for earlier were enough for the warning. I see now that you misinterpreted the resolution, so it's alright. For the future, please know that resolutions apply to the issue regardless of version unless explicitly stated otherwise.
OK thank you. Sorry if I misbehaved. Warning taken!
The Web Links and Prompt on Links options do work, and affect links sent using the open_url action of the tellraw command. What is intended is that the game no longer parses normal chat text looking for links. I've left a note in the description to this effect.
So this is intended? That's ridiculous! How are players meant to share links now
I really hope that this is not permanent, sharing links in chat is a very useful feature, and it should not have been removed
Which Minecraft version was the last one to support this?
