ArrBrants' Custom Splash Texts

by ArrBrants

ArrBrants' Custom Splash Texts swaps the vanilla phrases under the title screen logo for lines the player writes in a JSON file.

What it does

The mod extends the title screen's splash text system, so the phrase drawn under the logo comes from a configurable list instead of the vanilla set. Each entry has a weight that sets its relative chance, with a default of 1; a higher weight means the line appears more often. Entries can contain colour codes, gradients, rainbows, placeholders and conditions, all written in the JSON config. Placeholders are filled in once a splash is chosen, when the screen draws, not continuously. A placeholder that cannot be resolved stays as literal text instead of leaving a blank space, and anything the parser ignores falls back to vanilla yellow.

The mod touches no game files and changes nothing in multiplayer, so it is a client-side only addition: servers run without it and players who join need nothing installed. Builds cover 1.14 – 26.3 on Fabric, while Forge and NeoForge files target shorter ranges, so check the file list for the game version in use. Versions before 1.20 cannot carry per-character styling in a plain splash string, so gradients there are simulated with the closest legacy colour code on each letter. The library is released under CC0 1.0 Universal and is open source, with its source code and issue tracker public.

Key features

  1. Configurable splash list

    Splash lines are defined in a JSON file, with weights that control how often each one is chosen.

  2. Colours and gradients

    Text can carry solid colours, per-character gradients and rainbow effects, with the first and last characters matching the given colours exactly.

  3. Placeholders and conditions

    Placeholder values are filled in when the title screen renders, and conditions can limit when a line is eligible.

  4. Library API

    A developer API can add, remove, clear and count splashes, reload the config file and pick a chosen text.

How it compares

Full comparison

Fabric Placeholder is a Fabric-only library for Fabric 1.19.4 and later, is client or server optional, and is open source under the Mozilla Public License 2.0. Slightly Better Splashes runs client-side only on Fabric and Quilt for 1.19.4 – 1.21.4, under the MIT License. Tridot is a Forge and NeoForge mod for 1.20.1 – 1.21.1 that runs on both client and server, under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, so it is not a title screen tool like this one.

Questions

Does Custom Splash Texts need to be installed on the server?

No. Only the player's game needs it, and servers run without it.

Which loaders does the mod support for older versions?

Forge builds are published for 1.16.1 – 1.20.6, while Forge never shipped for the earliest releases, and NeoForge starts at 1.20.5.

Can splash lines include gradients and rainbows?

Yes. Lines can use solid colours, gradients and rainbows, and versions before 1.20 approximate gradients with nearest legacy colour codes.
