-The '''menu screen''' comprises all of the buttons and text for both the main menu and the pause menu.  It is the interface that allows players to change options such as the game language and resource pack active, as well as create a new [[world]] or join a multiplayer server. Upon the opening of the game's menu, the game's logo will appear with a [[splash]] caption beneath it. The game's menu can be accessed anytime in-game by pausing the game, with the {{Key|Esc}} by default.
+The '''world selection menu''' is one of the game's multiple [[menu screen]]s, which allows access to the [[Create New World]] menu, and equally importantly listing preexisting worlds which can be entered.
-By default, there are 6 buttons in the title screen menu: [[Singleplayer]], [[Multiplayer]], [[Realms|Minecraft Realms]], [[Options]], Quit Game and [[Language]].  In the background, there is a constantly moving, blurred image of a ''Minecraft'' world with distinguishable features. The map shown can be edited with the use of a resource pack.
