server.properties error on resource-pack-prompt= with 1.21.7 paper server

Hi all, I have just updated my 1.21.4 paper server to 1.21.7 and now I get an error in the console reporting I have a malformed json for my resource-pack-prompt (see attached). This is what I currently have:

resource-pack-prompt=["",{"text"\:"\n"},{"text"\:"NOTE","bold"\:true,"color"\:"red"},{"text"\:"\n","bold"\:true},{"text"\:"THE","bold"\:true,"color"\:"white"},{"text"\:" CONSTRUCT","bold"\:true,"color"\:"gold"},{"text"\:" uses a custom resource pack to ensure certain features work correctly.\n\nThis is "},{"text"\:"required","underlined"\:true},{"text"\:" in order to ensure that everyones experience is the same.\n\nPlease select "},{"text"\:"Proceed","bold"\:true,"color"\:"dark_green"},{"text"\:" to download and automatically install."}]

Anyone know a site/resource that will let me create this in an online editor so the formatting is correct?

To note, I have tried using https://minecraft.tools/en/json_text.php but still get the same error.

try using "\n" instead of "\n" for newlines bruh, discord wont show the second slash use two \ instead of one \

thats invalid json, drop the backslashes from infront of "text" im also not 100% sure if you need the square brackets at the beginning and the end

{"text":"\n"},{"text":"NOTE","bold":true,"color":"red"},{"text":"\n","bold":true},{"text":"THE","bold":true,"color":"white"},{"text":" CONSTRUCT","bold":true,"color":"gold"},{"text":" uses a custom resource pack to ensure certain features work correctly.\n\nThis is "},{"text":"required","underlined":true},{"text":" in order to ensure that everyones experience is the same.\n\nPlease select "},{"text":"Proceed","bold":true,"color":"dark_green"},{"text":" to download and automatically install."}

{"text":"\n"},{"text":"NOTE","bold":true,"color":"red"},{"text":"\n","bold":true},{"text":"THE","bold":true,"color":"white"},{"text":" CONSTRUCT","bold":true,"color":"gold"},{"text":" uses a custom resource pack to ensure certain features work correctly.\n\nThis is "},{"text":"required","underlined":true},{"text":" in order to ensure that everyones experience is the same.\n\nPlease select "},{"text":"Proceed","bold":true,"color":"dark_green"},{"text":" to download and automatically install."}

i also dont think you require the empty quotes at the start of your string

Thanks both. So do I also need a double \ for the new lines (\n) too?
