Credit sequence

This article is about credit sequence in Minecraft. For other namesakes, see Credits.

The credit sequence is the lines of text and music that play after the the End Poem. The credits serve to recognize those that have contributed to the game.

Accessing

After entering the the End dimension and killing the Ender dragon, the exit portal is activated, allowing the player to enter and view the End Poem followed by the credits. The player is then teleported to their spawn point if available, or the world spawn point if not. The credits only show upon the player's first entry of exit portal. The player can also trigger the credits to show by entering an End portal built using creative mode or commands.

The credits can be successively sped up by holding Space, then additionally Ctrl, then the other Ctrl.‌ It can be skipped entirely by pressing Escin Java Edition or "skip" in Bedrock Edition.

The credits can also be accessed by clicking on the copyright information on the title screen screen in Java Edition or by pressing the "credits" button in the "profile" section of the Settings screen in Bedrock Edition. They can also be viewed on the Minecraft website.[1]

Contents

The credits last 68 minutes and 38 seconds and appear below the End Poem. During the credits, the track "Alpha" in the official soundtrack (alpha.ogg‌/credits.ogg‌) plays.

Technical details

In Java Edition, the credits are stored in client.jar; the text of the credits is in assets/minecraft/texts/credits.json, and the text of the quote is in assets/minecraft/texts/postcredits.txt. In Bedrock Edition, the text of the credits is in data/credits/credits.json and the text of the quote is in data/credits/quote.txt. They can both be edited with a resource pack. The credits is shown the first time the player enters the exit portal based on their [Byte] seenCredits‌ ([Boolean] hasSeenCredits‌) tag being 0 (false), after which it is changed to 1 (true) once the player first enters an End portal while in the End.

End quote

  • The following quote is attached to the end of the credits. Though signed as "Unknown" in-game, this quote was written by Horace Jackson Brown Jr. in his book, P.S. I Love You.[2] The quote is often misattributed to Mark Twain.[3]

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
