How to show a title on screen in Minecraft

Type /title @a title {"text":"Welcome","color":"gold"} in chat as an operator to show a big gold title on every player's screen.

title

Shows a large title, subtitle or action bar message on players' screens, with custom fade timing.

/title <targets> <title|subtitle|actionbar> <text> | /title <targets> times <fadeIn> <stay> <fadeOut> | /title <targets> <clear|reset>

Examples

/title @a title {"text":"Welcome","color":"gold"}

Shows a gold title.

/title @a actionbar {"text":"Event starts in 1 minute"}

Text above the hotbar.

/title @a times 10 40 10

Shorter titles from now on.

Arguments

targetsRequired: Players who see it.
textOptional: Text component for the title, subtitle or action bar.
fadeIn stay fadeOutOptional: Timing in ticks, or with an s suffix.

What it does

title shows the big text in the middle of the screen, subtitle sets the line under it (shown with the next title), and actionbar shows text above the hotbar. times sets fade in, stay and fade out in ticks; the defaults are 10, 70 and 20. clear removes the current title and reset also restores default timing.

Good to know

Needs operator permission level 2.
Set the subtitle before the title; it appears together with the next title.
