✅ Verified for Java 26.2 · Bedrock 26.32 — checked June 2026Sets the subtitle — a smaller line shown directly beneath the main screen title. The subtitle only appears once you also send a title (run the subtitle command first, then the title command). On Java the text is an SNBT text component; on Bedrock it is plain text (or use /titleraw for JSON). Useful for round intros, countdowns, and cutscene captions.
