Splasher!

by Kessoku Tea Time

Splasher lets players replace or extend the yellow splash texts on Minecraft's title screen with their own lines, in any language they translate into.

What it does

Splasher changes the splash texts that appear on the title screen. The original splashes.txt file is converted into JSON files, one per language, so a set of custom lines can be written for each language the game supports. The English file is found under assets/splasher/lang, and a translated copy is renamed to the locale code, for example zh_cn.json, to be picked up.

Custom lines can be appended to the original splashes or can replace them. A single splash takes one line, and a Formatting Code may be used to style it. The mod is configured through options that are documented in the mod settings, where the splash display can also be turned off entirely. Splasher needs Cloth Config API, Fabric API and Night Auto Config, and Bounced is an optional dependency. It runs on the client only, and it is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only; the source code and issue tracker are public, so the project is open source. Files target 1.18 – 1.21.1 across Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with the latest NeoForge build made for 1.21.1.

Key features

  1. Custom splash lines

    Players write their own splash texts in a JSON file and the title screen shows them alongside or in place of the originals.

  2. Per-language splash files

    Each language gets its own JSON file, so the splashes follow the client language set in the game.

  3. Append or replace

    The custom set can be added to the original splashes or used on its own, with the originals switched off.

  4. Formatting codes

    A single splash takes one line, and Formatting Codes can color or style it.
