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, the game replaces all the regular splashes with a single splash or a set of splashes 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.

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.
