Splash

This article is about the message on the menu screen. For information shown when loading worlds, see Loading tips. For the potion, see Splash Potion.

The title screen of Java Edition with random splash text.

Splash texts are the yellow lines of text on the title screen. They are randomly chosen from the list below and often feature references to popular culture (e.g. websites, quotes, and video games). The splash pulsates on the title screen twice per second.

Splash texts are not translated and appear the same regardless of the language setting chosen. In Java Edition, the splashes are defined in a plain-text file within the minecraft.jar file (specifically, in version.jar/assets/minecraft/texts/splashes.txt). In Bedrock Edition, the splashes are defined in a .json file. Splashes can be modified by editing the splashes.txt file via a resource pack.

290	FUNKY LOL	(Obfuscated) This splash is stored as "§kFUNKY LOL" in splashes.txt; as with the "Colormatic" splash, the "§k" is a formatting code, but instead of changing the color of the following text, the code obfuscates the text, replacing it with random, rapidly-changing characters.	1.1 (11w50a)	v0.7.3 alpha

Removed splashes

Main articles: Java Edition removed features § Splashes and Bedrock Edition removed features § Splashes

When a splash is removed, the line it occupied in splashes.txt / splashes.json is deleted, meaning the line number of all subsequent splashes lowers by one.
