 Special splashes

Changed splashes

Removed splashes
Main article: Removed features § Splashes

When a splash is removed, the line it occupied in splashes.txt is deleted, meaning the line number of all subsequent splashes
lowers by one.

History

Splashes have been in Minecraft since Indev, with new ones regularly added, usually as part of major releases. Prior to Alpha
1.0.14, splashes were stored in an array of strings in the source code.

The following table summarizes splash changes per version.
