World selection menu

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's language and active resource pack, as well as create a new world or join a multiplayer server. When the main menu opens, the game's logo will appear with a splash caption beneath it. The game's menu can be accessed anytime by pausing the game with the key by default.

There are six buttons in the title screen menu for the Java edition: Singleplayer, Multiplayer, Minecraft Realms, Options, Quit Game and Language. The animated background is of a Minecraft world with distinguishable features.

Minceraft


There is a 0.01% chance that the title screen will display "Minceraft" instead of "Minecraft". Notch implemented this as an easter egg.

Notch made it as a small secret, and enjoyed that he was the only one who knew of its existence. After stating a secret was in Minecraft undiscovered, the internet went wild, trying to find it. Soon after, Notch wrote an article called, "A Post-Mortem of Minceraft".

In crash logs, a reference to Minceraft may appear as a joke, stating "You should try our sister game, Minceraft!".

Trivia

 * The menu screen has not been updated in the 1.13 snapshots to reflect the water colour changes.
