Splash

MainMenu — The main menu of *Java Edition* with random splash text.

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