Splash

The Splash texts are the randomly selected yellow lines of text with often humorous content on the title screen. The splashes are defined in a plain-text file within minecraft.jar (minecraft.jar/title/splashes.txt). The splash pulsates on the title screen at a frequency of 2 Hz.

History
Splashes are often added to splashes.txt:
 * Beta 1.4 included 223 splashes.
 * Beta 1.6 and 1.7 added 3 new splashes, increasing the number to 226. One splash, "Check it out!", was listed twice in these versions, on lines 21 and 47.
 * Beta 1.8 pre-release 1 removed the duplicate and added 35 new splashes, bringing the number of splashes to 260.
 * 1.0 RC1 added 28 new splashes, bringing the total up to 288.
 * 11w50a added 15 new splashes, increasing the total to 303.

Special splashes
Occasionally Mojang will replace all the regular splashes with a single splash visible for a set time.

Changed splashes

 * Note: the current versions of all splashes here are documented above; they do not need descriptions or explanations in this section.

Custom Splashes
Players are able to find the splashes.txt file in the minecraft.jar file. This file can be edited to the player's liking, listing only one splash per line. Before replacing the original splashes with user created ones, the META-INF folder needs to be deleted. If the META-INF folder isn't deleted, all splashes will appear as "missingno".
