/title
Show titles and subtitles on a player's screen.
What is /title used for?
What /title is for
Shows large title and subtitle text in the center of a player's screen, or text on the action bar above the hotbar, with control over fade-in, stay, and fade-out timing.
When to use /title
Announce round starts and objectives, display cutscene captions, or push status messages to the action bar without cluttering chat.
Tips for /title
Set /title times before sending the title to control the animation. Use the actionbar option for subtle, non-blocking messages, and JSON text for color and formatting.

Common questions
How do I show a title on screen?
Run /title <player> title with your text. Call /title <player> times <fadeIn> <stay> <fadeOut> first to control how long it stays.
How do I clear a title?
Use /title <player> clear to remove it, or /title <player> reset to also reset the fade timing back to default.
Permission level
/title requires Cheats (op level 2). In single-player you need the world's "Allow Cheats" toggle on. On a multiplayer server you need to be opped — see /op.
