Minecraft players are once again exploring the Halloween update to find all the hidden Easter eggs strewn throughout the blocky world as the eerie season returns. Halloween is no exception to Mojang's reputation for slipping subtle allusions and details into special occasions. This is a comprehensive guide to all of the Halloween Easter eggs in Minecraft, including where to look this year.
1. Halloween Splash Screen
 |
| When you launch Minecraft, a Halloween-themed splash text appears on the screen. |
A random splash text appears on the main menu each time you launch Minecraft. These are amusing, eccentric phrases that frequently allude to memes, updates, or inside jokes. However, something unique occurs on October 31.
On this day only, the splash screen changes to a spooky message:
“OOoooOOOoooo! Spooky!”
Only available on Halloween, this temporary greeting vanishes immediately after and reappears on the same day the following year. It's a subtle but charming addition that lets players know that Halloween is now a real thing in Minecraft.
2. Halloween-Themed Mobs
 |
| One of the best Minecraft Halloween Easter eggs is the eerie transformation of regular mobs for Halloween. |
Halloween makes the Minecraft overworld more eerie than usual. The following hostile mobs may spawn with carved pumpkins or Jack-o'-lanterns on their heads: zombies, skeletons, strays, husks, drowned, zombie villagers, withered skeletons, and zombie-piglins.
These mobs may drop the pumpkin they were wearing if you defeat them with a looting-enchanted weapon. This would be a cool collectible for your eerie builds.
Since its initial release in Java Edition 1.4.2 (Halloween 2012), this hidden feature has grown to be a recurring favorite among seasoned gamers.
3. Extra Bat Spawns for a Spookier Atmosphere
The way bats spawn underground in Minecraft is slightly altered between October 20 and November 3. Bats can spawn in brighter caves up to light level 6 during this seasonal window, although they typically only appear in very dark areas (light level 3 or lower).
Caves feel more alive and eerie thanks to this small change, particularly if you're exploring with Halloween texture packs or Minecraft horror mods installed. It's a minor adjustment that makes your mining adventures more eerie.
