{{Split|Title Screen|Main Menu|reason=The article is very long and none of the information applies to both editions. Open a discussion first before splitting.}}
The '''title screen''' or '''main menu''' is the first of ''[[Minecraft:Minecraft]]''{{'}}s several [[Minecraft:menu screen]]s. Acting as an introductory interface, it permits access to gameplay and most other menu screens.

The game's [[Minecraft:logo]] is prominently displayed on the title screen, accompanied with a randomly-selected [[Minecraft:splash]], and is also backed with a [[Minecraft:panorama]] which is changed every [[Minecraft:named update]] to match its theme. The [[Minecraft:version]] number and copyright are shown at the bottom of the screen.

=== Minceraft ===
<!-- This section is about a joke misspelling that's in the game. Don't change it. -->
[[File:MainMenu Minceraft.png|thumb|The Minceraft Easter egg in the title screen]]

There is a 0.01% ({{frac|1|10,000}}) chance for the title screen to display "Minceraft" instead of "[[Minecraft:Minecraft]]".<ref>{{bug|MC-44089|||WAI}}</ref> [[Minecraft:Notch]] implemented this as an [[Minecraft: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 community sought to find it. Soon after, Notch posted "a post-mortem of Minceraft" on the social media platform Reddit.<ref>{{Citation|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/Minecraft/comments/qqenq/minceraft_a_post_mortem/|title=Minceraft, a post mortem|website=Reddit|author=[[Minecraft:Markus Persson]]|date=10 March 2012}}</ref>

Additionally, in [[Minecraft:Crash|crash logs]], a reference to Minceraft may appear as a joke, stating "You should try our sister game, Minceraft!"

Getting ''Minceraft'' can be simulated by replacing the minecraft.png file with the minceraft.png file. The texture file for this logo is located in your minecraft folder, <code>[[Minecraft:textures]]/gui/title/minceraft.png</code>.

=== Welcome to Minecraft ===
[[File:Welcome to Minecraft.png|thumb|The Welcome to Minecraft screen]]
When the user enters the game the first time, or if <code>onboardAccessibility</code> is true, a Welcome to Minecraft screen appears. "Press Enter to enable the narrator" is narrated on startup. This screen can also be viewed by deleting the <code>[[Minecraft:options.txt]]</code> file.

[[Minecraft:In-game live event|In-game live events]] and new [[Minecraft:Featured experience|featured experiences]] are sometimes available to join from the main menu with a button on the middle-left.
[[File:Play your way.png|thumb|width=150x150|Example of a pop-up. This one is usually shown the second time after installing the game.]]
The first and second times after installing the game, and during certain events, a pop-up is shown on the main menu. Pop-ups can inform new players about the game, announce updates, news from official Marketplace collaborations, or [[Minecraft:Marketplace Pass]] updates. Most pop-ups can also be found in the inbox afterward.

=== Quick world creation ===
[[File:Main menu get started (Bedrock).png|thumb|The "Get started" main menu]]
Upon opening {{BE}} for the first time after installing, a variant of the main menu opens with an interface to quickly create a new world. The player can choose to create a new [[Minecraft:world]] with the options to select the [[Minecraft:game mode]] and the [[Minecraft:difficulty]], while all other [[Minecraft:game settings]] remain in their default state. The player can then choose one of the nine [[Minecraft:default skins]] and select the touch [[Minecraft:Controls|control]] mode when playing on a touch device.

The quick world creation screen will not be shown again after pressing "More options" or after creating a world, which will show the regular main menu instead. It can be shown again by setting <code>has_dismissed_new_player_flow</code> in [[Minecraft:options.txt]] to 0, which only works if there are no saved worlds.

Worlds created through quick world creation do not default to random [[Minecraft:world seeds]], they are limited to a predefined set of [[Minecraft:starter seeds]]. These seeds are notable for rare or unique world generation, with easy resources, different structures, outstanding terrain, and the largest biomes.

=== Redesign ===
[[File:Ore UI - Main Menu Loading (Bedrock).mp4|thumb|The full animation of the updated main menu]]
[[File:New UI - Main Menu - Default Accessibility Settings (Bedrock Preview 26.60.29).png|thumb|The main menu on Get started of default accessibility settings]]
The main menu is updated with [[Minecraft:Ore UI]], currently in ''Preview'' for some players. The logo, splash,<ref>{{bug|MCPE-243372||Logo and splash text doesn't apply to Ore UI main menu|WAI}}</ref> and copyright/version appear in a loading animation, after which they disappear and the main menu appears. 

This features the player model more prominently on the right, and buttons for [[Minecraft:Play]], [[Minecraft:Marketplace]], and [[Minecraft:Dressing room]]<ref>{{bug|MCPE-243453||Main menu strings in Ore UI don't capitalize, unlike in JSON UI|WAI}}</ref> on the left. The [[Minecraft:Settings]] and [[Minecraft:Inbox]] buttons are on the top-right next to the [[Minecraft:Social]] drawer.

The new menu allows to scroll down to view various types of game content, like [[Minecraft:servers]], Realms Marketplace content, and recently played [[Minecraft:worlds]], though this is currently unused. Functionality that is currently missing includes the sign in option, the [[Minecraft:Profile]] button, quick world creation, the animated Marketplace button, and the party status on the social button. It is unknown whether the advertisement on the left, Realms button, or PlayStation "Editions" button are included.
