	A background with unanimated darkened Nether portal texture is displayed ~~in non-[[Minecraft:Ore UI]] errors while~~ joining a [[Minecraft:~~Realm~~]] in ~~''[[Minecraft:Bedrock Edition]]''~~.		{{Unobtainable\|section=1\|edition=bedrock}}
			A background with unanimated darkened Nether portal texture was displayed when joining [[Minecraft:Realms]] until 1.19.50, after which it was only used for error messages which were gradually replaced by Ore UI showing the panorama instead. It can only be seen by forcing the old UI in that scenario.

The '''background''' is a decorative background of a GUI displayed during [[Minecraft:dimension]] teleporting, in some [[Minecraft:menu screen]]s, and the [[Minecraft:credit sequence]], composed of [[Minecraft:block]] textures.

== Backgrounds ==
The background is always shown in menus while the game or panorama is not rendered. Backgrounds in certain menus, such as the [[Minecraft:Realms]] loading screen or startup [[Minecraft:splash screen]] are simply images part of the UI.

=== Dirt background ===
{{exclusive|bedrock|section=1}}[[Minecraft:Dirt]] backgrounds only appear in the credits, on non-[[Minecraft:Ore UI]] connection error screens, and on the loading screen when teleporting to the [[Minecraft:Overworld]] using a Nether portal. {{IN|java}}, when teleporting to the Overworld or [[Minecraft:custom dimension]]s, a blurred [[Minecraft:panorama]] is displayed in the background instead.

Despite the texture of dirt being changed in [[Minecraft:Pocket Edition v0.2.0 alpha]], the dirt backgrounds still use the old texture, except the dirt background when teleporting to the Overworld.

=== Netherrack background ===

=== Nether portal background ===

==== ''Java Edition'' ====
An animated [[Minecraft:Nether Portal (block)|Nether portal]] texture is displayed when changing dimension to or from [[Minecraft:the Nether]] in ''Java Edition''. However, the texture is stretched to the size of the window and not a repeated texture like on ''Bedrock Edition''.

=== End portal background ===
