Splash

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, the splashes are defined in a plain-text file within the minecraft.jar file (specifically, in version.jar/assets/minecraft/texts/splashes.txt). $$, the splashes are defined in a .json file. Splashes can be modified by editing the splashes.txt file via a resource pack.

Special splashes
Occasionally, Mojang may replace all the regular splashes with a single splash or a set of splashes visible for a set time.

Removed 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.

Java Edition
Splashes have been in Minecraft since Indev, with new ones regularly added, usually as part of major releases. Prior to Alpha v1.0.14, splashes were stored in an array of strings in the source code.
