Minecraft is known for some unique and interesting splash screen text every time you log into the game. These interesting texts and snippets add to the uniqueness of the game and result in the occasional chuckle.

On October 31, the splash screen displays a special Halloween-only splash screen that reads "OOoooOOOoooo! Spooky!". This is the only text shown during the spooky day and makes it an interesting detail that adds to the Halloween spirit.

2) Halloween-themed mobs

On October 31, mobs like zombies, strays, zombie villagers, drowned, husks, skeletons, zombified piglins, and wither skeletons may wear carved pumpkins or Jack-o'-lanterns on their heads. Eliminating these mobs with a tool enchanted with looting will also drop the respective type of pumpkin equipped.

This unique feature was first seen in Java Edition 1.4.2 for Halloween 2012 and has become one of the staple Minecraft Halloween Easter eggs ever since.

Additionally, between October 20 to November 3, bats can also spawn at a higher light level of six rather than waiting for the usual level of three. This means that bats will spawn earlier in the day and will add to the eerie setting if you are exploring your world standalone or with some of the best Minecraft horror mods enabled.
