Splashes
| Splash text | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Moderately attractive! | Prior to Minecraft:1.16 Pre-release 3, this splash read "Sexy!" |
| It's finished! | Prior to Minecraft 1.0.0 RC1, this read "When it's finished!". |
| Kind of dragon free! | It may be a possible reference to a quote from Minecraft:Wurm Online, wherein Minecraft:Notch states that "we will never add dragons". Dragons were eventually added, however. The same thing happened in Minecraft with the addition of the Minecraft:ender dragon in Minecraft:Beta 1.9 Prerelease 4. Before RC1, this splash read "Absolutely dragon free!". |
| Uses LWJGL! | Minecraft uses LWJGL. |
| Singleplayer! | Minecraft was, at the time this splash was created, a one-player game. |
| Keyboard compatible! | Minecraft is playable with a keyboard. This splash text still appears in versions that do not contain keyboard support, such as Minecraft:Legacy Console Edition. This issue was fixed in the Minecraft:New Nintendo 3DS Edition only, as the splash text was replaced with “Touch Compatible!” Which, this version, indeed, is touch compatible. |
| Not on steam! | Template:Wp is an online service used to distribute many games. Both versions of Minecraft for PC, Minecraft: Java Edition and the Bedrock-based Minecraft for Windows, are not sold via Steam, but only on Xbox Store and the Minecraft website. However, three spin-offs (Minecraft: Story Mode, Minecraft Dungeons, Minecraft Legends) released on Steam. |
| Now with difficulty! | Minecraft:Difficulty may be set to Peaceful, Easy, Normal, or Hard. |
| Ceci n'est pas une title screen! | "Ceci n'est pas une" is French for "This is not a"; the phrase refers to Template:Wp (La trahison des images), a painting by the Template:Wp Magritte, which depicts a pipe with the sentence "Ceci n'est pas une pipe." ("This is not a pipe.") written beneath it. The all-French version of this splash would be "Ceci n'est pas un écran d'accueil !" |
| Now on OpenGL 3.3 core profile! | Another technology used by Template:JE. This splash has been changed multiple times over time, previously being "Now on OpenGL 3.2 core profile!" in versions prior to Minecraft:1.21.9 (Minecraft:Java Edition 25w37a), "OpenGL 2.1 (if supported!)" in versions prior to Minecraft:1.17 (Minecraft:21w10a), "Open GL 1.2!" in versions prior to Minecraft:1.8 (Minecraft:14w06a) and "OpenGL 1.1!" in versions prior to 1.0 Minecraft:RC1. |
| Age of Wonders is better! | Template:Wp is a PC turn-based strategy game. It is often to be compared with "Template:Wp", which is also a turn-based strategy game. |
| Not as cool as Spock! | Template:Wp is a popular Template:Wp character. Prior to Minecraft:1.8.5, this splash read "Cooler than Spock!". Template:Wp, who played Spock, died on February 27, 2015, one week after the release of Minecraft:1.8.3 and 84 days before the text was changed. |
| Seecret Friday update! | Before Minecraft went Minecraft:Beta, updates were released weekly, every Friday. Minecraft:Notch called these updates "Minecraft:Seecret Friday updates". |
| Reference implementation! | Refers to Template:Wp. |
| BTAF used to be good! | Template:Wp is a comic strip that has been running since 1992. |
| I miss ADOM! | Ancient Domains of Mystery is an old, but popular and unique rogue-like game, featuring a world made completely of Template:Wp characters for graphics, dungeons (random and infinite), and monsters, but also many (optional) storylines that help hold all the features together to stop it from becoming boring. |
| SWM forever! | SWM stands for "Single White Male". |
| Woo, facepunch! | Facepunch was a game forum. It has since shut down, but this splash is still in the game. Facepunch is also the developer of Template:Wp, another sandbox game (which also happens to have a "Minecraftify" texturizing option). |
| Woo, somethingawful! | SomethingAwful is an internet site. |
| Woo, tigsource! | TIGSource is an indie game development forum where Notch originally posted Minecraft. |

| Now supports åäö! | These characters are not part of the standard 26-character Latin alphabet, but are used in the Swedish alphabet (many Scandinavian languages use such extended versions of the Latin alphabet). Minecraft now supports these characters in in-game input fields. |
| MAP11 has two names! | Reference to the level MAP11 in the game Template:Wp, which is called both "Circle of Death" and "O' of Destruction!" in-game. |
| Jag känner en bot! | Swedish for "I know a bot". Refers to the first line of the song "Template:Wp" by the Swedish dance artist, Template:Wp. |
| This text is hard to read if you play the game at the default resolution, but at 1080p it's fine! | The splash text scales to fit, making this particular splash difficult to read at lower resolutions. |
| Slow acting portals! | Portals to Minecraft:the Nether (but not Minecraft:the End) take a few seconds to activate, although in Minecraft:Creative mode, they are instant. In addition, it is satire on many claims about Template:Wp i.e. "Fast acting stain remover" or "Fast acting solvent". |
| Try the Nether! | A reference to Minecraft:the Nether, which was added in this version. |
| Finally with ladders! | Minecraft:Ladders were added to the game in Minecraft:Infdev. |

| Ryan also has amazing hair! | Referring to former Mojang employee Minecraft:Ryan Holtz having long, brown hair. |
| Kinda like Lemmings! | Template:Wp is a game which also features mining, digging and blowing things up. |

| DungeonQuest is unfair! | Template:Wp is a board game whose gameplay relies on the players creating the playing board by randomly selecting tiles and placing them on a grid. |
| Check out the far lands! | The Minecraft:Far Lands were the "limit" of the infinite map, until Minecraft:Notch accidentally fixed them in Minecraft:Beta 1.8. Ironically, this splash was added to the game after the Far Lands were fixed. |

| Also try Super Meat Boy! | Template:Wp is a 2D platformer game based on difficult levels. |

| Γεια σου Ελλάδα! | Greek for "Hello, Greece!". |
| FUNKY LOL | (Obfuscated) This splash is stored as "§kFUNKY LOL" in splashes.txt; as with the "Colormatic" splash, the "§k" is a Minecraft:formatting code, but instead of changing the color of the following text, the code obfuscates the text, replacing it with random, rapidly-changing characters. |
| Java 16 + 1 + 4 * 2 = 25! | Support for Java 5 was dropped in Minecraft Minecraft:1.6.1. Before Minecraft:1.7.2, this splash read "Almost java 6!".
