New Splash
So there was a new Splash, "Play Minecraft, Watch Topgear, Get Pig", added with the most recent version 1.2.3_02. There is actually a background to this; it was auctioned off on Desert Bus for Hope by Notch himself. I'm curious if a special note should be made of this. --Spolin 15:54, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

Also, there's an anti-SOPA one that reads "SOPA means LOSER in Swedish!"

 * That's been on the page since shortly after the release of the version of Minecraft it was added in. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 22:26, 17 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Also, the splash "Danec!" Isn't on the page.75.138.37.159 05:03, 29 May 2013 (UTC)


 * There is no "Danec!" splash, verified in 13w21b and 1.5.2. Did you mean the "Let's danec!" splash? That is listed.  05:05, 29 May 2013 (UTC)


 * I can personally vouch that every splash present in splashes.txt as of snapshot 13w21b and release version 1.5.2 is also present on this page. I've run through the entire file at least twice in the past while working on this page, and make it a point to check for changes to it in every new version. There are no missing splashes here, period; any that appear to be missing are one of: added by mods (which aren't documented here), special splashes (which are documented, but don't appear in splashes.txt), misidentified splashes (as is the case with your report), or simple oversight (as is the case with anon's report above). All four of these have happened, as a perusal of this talk page will show. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 07:09, 29 May 2013 (UTC)


 * Oh sorry, I must have forgotten some of the splash. I meant the lets danec splash. :)75.138.37.159 03:29, 31 May 2013 (UTC)

Table instead of a list?
I think the splashes need to be placed into a table with columns for details and explanations. Quite many of these splashes are non-self-explanatory running gags or insider stuff, so it could be required to understand their meaning. I'm not quite sure if it's enough to simply create links for the lines... --Barracuda 16:02, 2 January 2011 (UTC)
 * I agree. On a related note, what does "SWM forever!" refer to? Urbandictionary gave me Single White Man.--EnderA 04:34, 16 January 2011 (UTC)

There is a Swedish gaming community called Swedish Maffia with the address www.SWM.se and it is likely that it that group he is referring too. --Jostain 18:08, 12 April 2011 (UTC)


 * This would greatly help the page, yes. I've transformed the list into a table now, feel free to add references you might spot. Those empty cells look sad. And Single White Male would be correct, though this could be one of the tougher ones to explain. --RV 02:23, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

Shouldn't we make the removed splashes into a table too? I see no reason why not, and as the game grows (and when it leaves Beta), there will undoubtedly be more that get removed. --DwarfWoot 15:33, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Done, thanks for bringing it to attention! --Gnu32 16:45, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

Missingno
So, I was bored and attempted to edit my Splash.txt file, and replaced the current Splashes with some of my own, and when I started MineCraft, I got an "ERROR" when trying to log on [but not an internet error], and the MISSINGNO splash was used, which I did not put in splash.txt. Reloaded again, still Missingno. So, I'm guessing that if the Splash.txt is modified, MISSINGNO is displayed?

Anyone else want to test this too? --DwarfWoot 20:04, 23 January 2011 (UTC)


 * That's been there for quite some time actually. I was going to add it yesterday but didn't have time. Today someone put it under "Removed" but it is in fact not removed so I just added it under "Special" splashes. Ordona 21:44, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

"Kiss the Sky"
"Impossible because there is a barrier stopping you from moving more than 128 blocks above bedrock; also a reference to the lyrics from Purple Haze by Jimi Hendrix "

I'm fine with the Jimi Hendrix part, but according to Wikipedia, "in the sky are clouds", which to me means that at Cloud level, one IS in the sky, and thus the "Impossible because there is a barrier stopping you.." is false. --DwarfWoot 17:26, 3 February 2011 (UTC)


 * This confuses me, as the "sky" is only vaguely defined irl since there is no definite boundary to outer space. Thus having any boundary whatsoever would constitute an impossibility. I'd just let this one go on a technicality. Darkid 22:12, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

Incorrect Capitalization of Spongebob
The description for "Lives in a pineapple under the sea!" is: Refers to the animated series SpongeBob SquarePants. Which is correct, though improperly capitalized, as Spongebob is one name, as is Squarepants. The correct capitalization would be: Refers to the animated series Spongebob Squarepants. -- ClapNZ 05:01, 12 March 2011 (UTC)


 * The name here is capitalized the same as it is on Wikipedia. This is also the capitalization used on its official site. If this is really the battle you want to pick, I'd start in those two places, not here. 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 06:04, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

A new one

 * There's a text file somewhere in the game's files that lists all the current splash messages in the game (or, rather, the game uses the splash messages listed in that file). The file needs to be directly checked for new or changed splash messages (on that note, I need to find just where the file is). 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 13:39, 13 March 2011 (UTC)
 * "That's not a moon!" is already in the list. --Barracuda 13:48, 13 March 2011 (UTC)

Exclamation marks implied!
As every splash ends with an exclamation mark (as far as I've seen), is the exclamation mark implied and added by Minecraft, or part of the splashes.txt file? Does Minecraft run something like this:

Object PASCAL: AssignFile(SplashesFile, 'splashes.txt');

Reset(SplashesFile);

MaxLines := 0;

While not EOF(SplashesFile) do

Begin


 * ReadLn(SplashesFile, FileLine);
 * Splashes[MaxLines] := FileLine;
 * MaxLines := MaxLines + 1;

End;

Splash := Splashes[Random(MaxLines)] + '!'; QuickBASIC: OPEN 'splashes.txt' FOR INPUT AS #1

MaxLines = 0

DO


 * INPUT #1, Splashes$(MaxLines)
 * MaxLines = MaxLines + 1

LOOP WHILE NOT EOF(1)

PRINT Splashes$(INT(RND * MaxLines)); "!" BASH: I=`rand -M Lines in file`

S=`cat splashes.txt | cut -d '

' -f $I-$I`'!' if [ "$S" = '' ]; then echo 'missingno'; else echo "$S"; fi I know that Minecraft is written in Java, not PASCAL, QuickBASIC or BASH, but this is just an example. -- ClapNZ 02:20, 15 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Nope, they're all right there in the splashes.txt file. I considered adding a comment in the lead about how all the splashes end with an exclamation point when I added the line numbers last night, but forgot about it when I was reviewing my changes prior to saving. 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 02:23, 15 March 2011 (UTC)


 * OK. Also, look at the BASH version of the script. Could that be where missingno comes from? -- ClapNZ 02:28, 15 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Probably not. If the splash routine is properly coded, the first thing it would check for is that the splashes.txt file exists and is readable; if not, that's when the "missingno" message would be displayed. I've never looked at the decompiled code for Minecraft, though (and probably wouldn't be able to make much sense of it if I did), so I don't know how it actually works. 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 02:38, 15 March 2011 (UTC)
 * It is possible that it stores a hash of the file, and checks against that. –Preceding unsigned comment was added by Darkid (Talk&#124;Contribs) 11:41, 15 March 2011. Please sign your posts with


 * Excellent guess, Dinoguy. The splash text is initialized as "missingno", so that will be displayed if reading splashes.txt fails for any reason. Interestingly, it will not pick a splash whose hashcode is 0x77f432f - which is #232 ("This message will never appear..."). The article says it does in fact appear, but this dates to when it was added in Beta 1.8 . Can anyone confirm seeing it in 1.2.5? -- Orthotope 10:17, 16 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Well, I guess the first (and fastest) way to find out would be to check the splashes.txt. If its not there, then it won't appear on the main menu. MaryTheTiger 18:59, 19 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Has anyone else gotten the splash "if not okay return end" with no exclamation mark or capital letters?

Possible Reference
Could "Wow!" possibly be a reference to the fact the Minecraft is Awesome? If so, should this be added in the description? -- ClapNZ 06:15, 15 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Not really a reference, seeing as you are already playing Minecraft, but it`s either


 * It`s just a general greeting of amazement/surprise, and maybe the game is "surprised" that you came, or is "amazed" that you`ve made such great things.


 * It`s just a random/extremely obscure reference.

Descriptions
Are the descriptions for the minecraft splashes actually official, inferred, or random guesses? –Preceding unsigned comment was added by Deathgleaner (Talk&#124;Contribs) 05:03, 24 March 2011. Please sign your posts with


 * They're all inferred, though several of them are drawn directly from Notch's comments, and many of the rest have some pretty solid logic behind them. If you know of any descriptions that explicitly disagree with something Notch has said about the corresponding splash, though, feel free to change the description (make sure to provide a link to Notch's comment, though, so others can confirm it as well). 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 05:14, 24 March 2011 (UTC)

Speaking of descriptions, the description for splash #218, "Information wants to be free!" Is incorrect. Most likely, it refers to Anonymous, a hacker group. They want online information to be free. if they think that you are a good prospect for their group, they will send you a survey, and one of the questions is, "Do you belive that information should be free?".24.196.6.243 02:04, 2 June 2013 (UTC)


 * I do not believe Notch, or whoever added that from Mojang, intended to reference Anonymous. It lines up more with Notch's belief that things like NDAs and patents/copyrights are detrimental to development and advancement of any kind, which they are.  02:08, 2 June 2013 (UTC)

'Scary!'
Perhaps this is referencing the Herobrine. This is the only scary thing I think about MineCraft. I myself often think I see him so now i keep render distance at far so i don't get scared (with lag) R ocĸetor talk  07:56, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

#34 - That's not a moon!

åäö in Languages
I find the text "These characters are not part of the standard 26-character Latin alphabet, but are used in the Swedish alphabet (many Scandinavian languages use such extended versions of the Latin alphabet)." for the Splash "Now supports åäö!" somewhat misleading. I propose: "most European languages use an extended version of the Latin alphabet" Other Scandinavian languages use one or the other character that Swedish uses but never all three together -- Danish and Norwegian, closely related to Swedish, use å, æ and ø (and more rarely é) and Icelandic, another North Germanic language, uses æ and ö (amongst other accents, such as á). å is definitely a clear indicator for a Scandinavian language as no other languages, except for minority languages or some dialects of German, use this character. But ä and ö are used in German and Finnish as well, ö is in fact used in Turkish and Hungarian, too. Thus, we can say that the accents ä and ö are used in a wide range of European countries. I understand the author of the game is Swedish, but wouldn't replacing "Scandinavian languages" with "European languages" be a bit better / more accurate? No language uses all three accents which Swedish uses, but many non-Scandinavian languages do have one (or two in the case of German) common accent with Swedish. --(lKj) 19:11, 21 April 2011 (UTC)


 * It's more general than that, really; many non-English languages that are written with the Latin character set use at least one character not found in written English (beyond certain loanwords or archaic forms, perhaps). A better, and far more concise, description of this splash could be written if someone could confirm that Minecraft is Unicode-compliant, in which case this splash would refer to the point at which Notch added such compliancy to the game; the description could then be stated simply as something like
 * "Minecraft features Unicode support; the characters 'å', 'ä', and 'ö' specifically are all extended Latin characters used in Swedish."
 * 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 08:20, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Or we could just use everything after the semicolon (less the word "specifically" in the above description. And, for the OP's benefit - this isn't a linguistics wiki - we could add a link to a resource discussing that information in intimate detail, but it's really not relevant to the splash comment or Minecraft in general, except in the broadest of terms. 24.69.196.170 09:20, 5 November 2012 (UTC)

 * Polynomial was in fact released in late 2008 as fractal editor, then sometime in early 2009 as a game beta and finally in October 2010 as finished game on Steam... tbh i dunno if it really is a reference, but it has a related game concept, it has gone through the editor, game beta, and final product phases, and there's overlap in userbase, so it is not too far fetched.

"Almost Never" is an interesting concept!
The description of this splash seems to be incorrect: wouldn't it be more likely that Notch would be talking about how 'never' is an infinite descriptor (which is negative), and how one can never be close to an infinite? –Preceding unsigned comment was added by AmusedChicken (Talk&#124;Contribs) 02:02, 17 May 2011.

 * That depends on how you define "close" - there will always be usable definitions, regardless of the scale being used, that allow one to get "close" to an infinite. That said, the explanation of this splash referring to "almost never" as the counterpart to "almost always" is just far neater than what you're suggesting. 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 18:14, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

Kaneda and Tetsuo
I recently played Splinter Cell Chaos Theory. At the end of the second-to-last mission I had to tap a discussion of a guy with some Japanese. The discussion escalated, and just before they started shooting, there was one guy screaming "Kaneda!" and another one answering "Tetsuo!" (Check out this video at 16:20).

I noticed this one was empty, so I Googled a little and found this: angryflower.com / plural.gif Could it be the source for the splash text?

Also, it is impossible for an unregistered user to submit a link. After previewing and submitting, the "antispam filter" shows up and asks for a 16-7=?. However, after that you have to "use preview first" again, so you never get to pass the antispam test. Catch 22? 178.148.240.204 09:24, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

Also, this post is pretty old so back then in 2011 the page was at a way more incomplete state than it is now. Also, Notch has not implemented all Splashes, I assume that about the half of these was added by Jeb or another developer.

Tyrian would Love It
Originally said that it presumably referred to the game Tyrion, but in that game Tyrion was the name of a place.

This is also a reference to Portal, where the player is told to not look directly at the operational end of the portal device.

288 - Pumpa kungen!
"Pumpa kungen" is NOT Swedish for "pumpkin king"! "Pumpkin king" in Swedish would be "pumpakung" (one word), "THE pumpkin king" in Swedish would be "pumpakungEN" (still just one word). The splash "Pumpa kungen!" (two words) actually means "Pump the king!" in Swedish, and nothing else. Does that phrase make sense? No, it doesn't, really. My guess is that it's a spelling error. It's a very common mistake in Swedish to separate a joint word into two words (the Swedish term for this phenomenon is "särskrivning", which means something like "separation writing"). The splash might also be spelled this way deliberately as a kind of joke ("särskrivning" is often joked about in Swedish). 213.112.66.165 21:47, 15 December 2011 (UTC)


 * |en|pumpa%20kungen Google Translate says that it does translate to "pumpkin king", though it also (now) asks if I meant "pumpakungen" (it didn't when I originally checked what "pumpa kungen" translated to, and Google Translate could also be wrong about this - it would hardly be the first time, and it certainly wouldn't be the last).

merry xmas
i think it should be added since i first found it strange since i never had it before then i kept having that splash every single time i started minecraft. then i went to erase all the splashes in the title folder and then it still showed merry xmas then i updated minecraft to be sure it wasn't a part of a mod and no. and i can't get rid of it. not that i don't like christmas it's just that i would like to add my own and make them show up instead of merry xmas. and why is it the same one over and over again? –Preceding unsigned comment was added by MrAwesomeLuis (Talk&#124;Contribs) 17:29, 24 December 2011.

Randomly generating splash text?
I was bored and flying to the farlands in the nether. After reaching 29220 (In honour of Kurt J Mac's far land or bust) I gave up and went to the start menu. The splash text was text being randomly generated around every 100ms in the format of ##### ###! (Not sure about the exclamation point, but knowing Mojang...) This seems to be a mighty special splash, considering spashes.txt can't do this.

Custom Splashes Through Texturepack?
I was just wondering, is it possible to get custom splashes without editing minecraft.jar, but through a texturepack instead?

 * Not that I know of. Personally, I've thought for a long time that it'd be awesome if texture packs could customize sounds as well; thinking about it more now, I don't think it'd really be that much more work to expand the texture pack functionality into a full-blown mod system capable of changing many in-game features and adding new ones, but this comes from someone not intimately familiar with the game's architecture, so there are almost certainly complications I'm not aware of that prevent this. Still, I think it'd be interesting to see someone attempting a mod to turn the texture pack feature into exactly this (or is there already one?). =) 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 19:01, 8 March 2012 (UTC)

Well, MCPatcher (the client mod to fix HD texture packs) adds "new" mobs to the game by allowing a single texture pack to put multiple mob textures into the game, so, say, on my JohnSmith texturePack I am able to see zombies with visible skulls and zombies with hair.

"This message will never appear on the splash screen..."
I've removed the note claiming this line does appear because it was false. I edited splashes.txt down to just two lines and launched Minecraft twenty times; this line was never used. The odds of this happening by chance are worse than one in a million, so I'm 99.9999% certain that statement was incorrect. The source code supports this as well: when choosing a splash to display, it compares the chosen line's hashcode to 0x77f432f (which is the hashcode of "This message will never appear on the splash screen, isn't that weird?"), and picks another if it matches. If that line is the only one in splashes.txt, the game hangs in an infinite loop. Mojang's choice to compare hashcodes rather than string literals obfuscates the code slightly, but has the side effect of preventing all strings with that hashcode from being displayed on the splash screen. (Of course, finding any other such string – let alone one with semantic meaning – is a nontrivial problem.) -- Orthotope 03:46, 3 March 2013 (UTC)

I've been the one trying to fill it on the page with "A reference to an attempt in 2011 to censor the word Uterus" but that was reverted a couple of times so here's my proof: rhrealitycheck.org/article/2011/04/05/uword-exposed-antichoice-movement FOLIO3 (talk) 20:19, 3 December 2013 (UTC)


 * While that is a reasonable explanation, it should still have a citation from Mojang saying so before it is added to the page. -- Orthotopetalk 21:11, 3 December 2013 (UTC)


 * Just to be clear, we're not trying to discourage you or anything, it's just that this is a rather obscure reference and we need confirmation that it's right before adding it. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 21:54, 3 December 2013 (UTC)


 * fair enough and how do we get a citation? FOLIO3 (talk) 08:36, 4 December 2013 (UTC)


 * You'll have to ask a Mojangsta and hope they answer you. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 09:04, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
