Splashes

Splashes are the yellow lines of text that appear next to the Minecraft logo on the title screen. There are a bunch of splash texts that Minecraft has on its own, but you can modify these splashes too.

Editing Splashes ​

It's very easy to create custom splash texts. All you have to do is to create a splashes.json file in your resource pack and edit it. Splash texts also support formatting (using §).

{
    "canMerge": true,
    "splashes": [
        "my custom splash text",
        "and my second custom splash text!",
        "§4red §rand §agreen §rsplash text",
        "§l§kblablabla"
    ]
}

A splash text example

The canMerge parameter determines whether the game will show vanilla splash texts alongside custom splash texts. If you set this parameter to true, the splash text will be choosen from both vanilla splash texts and custom splash texts. If you omit this parameter or set it to false, the splash text will be choosen only from custom splash texts.

If you leave the splashes array empty with canMerge set to false, the game will not show any splash text at all.

There isn't a limit to how long a splash text is, but it will be split into multiple lines if it's too long, or may become so small that it is not readable!
