Minecraft:Commands/title

Controls text displayed on the screen.

Usage

File:Title command.png

Example result of the title command.

A screen title is displayed to players as a single line of large center-aligned text in the middle of their displays, and can include a subtitle; a second, separate line of text displayed just below the title. Text can also be printed to the Minecraft:action bar, the space just above the player's Minecraft:hotbar.

Template:IN, all of them are specified using text components. Template:IN, the /title command uses plain text while /titleraw uses raw JSON text components.

Screen titles can be set to fade in and fade out, and the duration they are displayed can also be specified. Screen titles scale in size with the GUI Scale, and screen titles that are too big to fit on the screen are not line-wrapped (they just overflow off the screen on both sides). Note that the "fadeIn", "stay", and "fadeOut" values of each player are only sent to their own client side rather than stored in the server side. For a client, these values are cross-save and cross-server. These values are reset only when the client restarts, and the default is 10 game ticks (0.5 seconds), 70 game ticks (3.5 seconds), and 20 game ticks (1 second).

Template:IN, the opacity of the black background of the title can be adjusted with the "Text Background Opacity" option in the accessibility settings.
