Controls text displayed on the screen.

Usage

A screen title is displayed to players as a single line of large center-aligned text in the middle of their displays, and can include a subtitle; a second, separate line of text displayed just below the title. Text can also be printed to the action bar, the space just above the player's hotbar.

In Java Edition, all of them are specified using text components. In Bedrock Edition, the /title command uses plain text while /titleraw uses raw JSON text components.

Screen titles can be set to fade in and fade out, and the duration they are displayed can also be specified. Screen titles scale in size with the GUI Scale, and screen titles that are too big to fit on the screen are not line-wrapped (they just overflow off the screen on both sides). Note that the "fadeIn", "stay", and "fadeOut" values of each player are only sent to their own client side rather than stored in the server side. For a client, these values are cross-save and cross-server. These values are reset only when the client restarts, and the default is 10 game ticks (0.5 seconds), 70 game ticks (3.5 seconds), and 20 game ticks (1 second).

In Bedrock Edition, the opacity of the black background of the title can be adjusted with the "Text Background Opacity" option in the accessibility settings.

title <player: target> <title|subtitle|actionbar> <titleText: message>

title <player: target> times <fadeIn: int> <stay: int> <fadeOut: int>

• Bedrock Edition (JSON)

titleraw <player: target> <clear|reset>

Arguments

JE: <targets>: entity
BE: target: target: CommandSelector<Player>

Specifies the player(s) to display a screen title to.

Must be a player name, a target selector or a UUID‌. And the target selector must‌/should‌ be of player type. In Bedrock Edition, the target selector should be of player type.

JE: <title>: component
BE: titleText: message: CommandMessage or raw json titleText: json: Json::Value

Specifies the text to display as a title, subtitle, or on the action bar.

In Java Edition, it must be a valid text component.

In Bedrock Edition,

• For titleText: message, it is a greedy phrase string argument (taking the rest of the command as the string argument). Can include spaces as well as target selectors. The game replaces entity selectors in the message with the list of selected entities' names, which is formatted as "name1 and name2" for two entities, or "name1, name2, ... and namen" for n entities.@<player name> can be used to mention a player; @here can be used to mention all players.
• for raw json titleText: json, it must be a JSON [NBT Compound / JSON Object]Object.

JE: <fadeIn>: time, <stay>: time and <fadeOut>: time
BE: fadeIn: int: int, stay: int: int, and fadeOut: int: int

Specifies the time for the screen title to fade in, stay, and fade out. In Bedrock Edition, it's specified in game ticks (1/20ths of a second), and values below 0 are treated as 0.

In Java Edition, it must be a single-precision floating-point number suffixed with a unit. It must be not less than 0 gameticks. Units include:

• d: an in-game day, 24000 gameticks;
• s: a second, 20 gameticks;
• t (default and omitable): a single gametick; the default unit.

The time is set to the closest integer after unit conversion to gametick. For example. .5d is same as 12000 gameticks.
In Bedrock Edition it must be a [Int] 32-bit integer number.
