Minecraft:Background

Template:ForTemplate:Missing information The background is a decorative background of a GUI displayed during Minecraft:dimension teleporting, in some Minecraft:menu screens, 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

Template:ExclusiveMinecraft: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. Template:IN, when teleporting to the Overworld or Minecraft:custom dimensions, 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.

Bedrock Edition

Template:Unobtainable 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.
