Minceraft[]

Minceraft in game.
Πρότυπο:Exclusive
There is a 1 in 10000 chance for the title screen to display "Minceraft" instead of "Minecraft". Notch implemented this as an Easter egg, and kept it as a small secret, enjoying that he was the only one who knew of its existence. After stating a secret was in Minecraft undiscovered, the internet sought out to find it. Soon after, Notch posted "A Post-Mortem of Minceraft" on Reddit.
In crash logs, a reference to Minceraft may appear as a joke, stating "You should try our sister game, Minceraft!".

Panorama[]
Πρότυπο:Expand section
The main title screen of Minecraft displays a panoramic background that slowly pans across a pictured scene. Πρότυπο:IN, this scene remained the same from inception until Java Edition 1.12, after which the background was changed for each themed update.
Java Edition[]
Original prototype[]

The unreleased menu screen panorama that came before the final version.
Dinnerbone has stated that the menu panorama was originally going to be an in-game render of a live world, with custom world generation with the seed 100. He also mentioned another panorama that came before the one seen in Beta 1.8, which was a plains biome near the beach.[1]
Beta 1.8 – Release 1.12[]

The original menu panorama in-game. (Coordinates: X≈61.48, Y=75, Z≈-68.73)
The seed for the menu screen panorama in the game from Beta 1.8 to 1.12 (Beta 1.8 Pre-release to 1.13-pre1) is Πρότυπο:Cd or Πρότυπο:Cd (both are considered valid seeds), and work in versions from Beta 1.7.3 all the way back to Alpha v1.2.0 (except for population differences).[2]
The actual version that was used to generate this panorama must have been a development version between Beta 1.6.6 and Beta 1.7, based on the file dates.
Dinnerbone noted that the panorama was taken by Notch (likely on his laptop) while he was traveling, around June 1–15, 2011.[3][4]
1.13[]
The menu panorama was changed for the first time for the Update Aquatic. This panorama uses seed Πρότυπο:Cd (numeric: Πρότυπο:Cd) at coordinates X=1553.76, Y=58.62, Z=-1162.79. This seed generates most correctly in version 18w22a.[5]
1.14[]
The Village & Pillage menu panorama showcases a small plains village. This panorama image was taken near the spawn of Πρότυπο:Cd at coordinates X=240.57, Y=78.12, Z=147.38. This seed generates most correctly in version 18w48a.[5] In the panorama, a plains village is shown next to a bamboo jungle and an outpost to the distant.
1.15[]
The menu panorama for Buzzy Bees was taken on the seed Πρότυπο:Cd at coordinates X=339.691, Y=65.546, Z=-1072.041. This seed generates most correctly in version 19w40a. The same thing shares from Bedrock Edition beta 1.14.0.2 to 1.16.0.55[5]
1.16[]
The Nether Update panorama was taken on the seed Πρότυπο:Cd at coordinates X=482.208, Y=78.515, Z=-1127.193. This seed generates most correctly in version 20w13a.[5]
1.17[]
The Caves & Cliffs panorama was taken on an unknown seed. It was added in version 21w15a.
Bedrock Edition[]
1.2.0–1.4.4[]

The panorama in game from 1.2.0 to 1.4.4.
The panorama seed from Bedrock Edition 1.2.0 to 1.4.4 was Πρότυπο:Cd. This was used in the "Winding River" seed picker.[6]
