- The splash "From free range developers!" is a reference to the "From free-range hens" phrase seen on egg boxes.
- The splash "Music by Lena Raine!" is a reference to the new music tracks added in 1.16, made by Lena Raine.
- The splash "Aww man!" is a reference to the "Creeper, aww man" meme, originating from CaptainSparklez' Minecraft parody song, Revenge.[3]
