Let's talk about the new Game Tips feature!

Pinned

Recently, we've introduced the new game tips feature in Bedrock Preview - in-game toast notifications that will help players learn basic things necessary to explore and enjoy Minecraft. While this feature is primarily targeted at players new to Minecraft, we would still appreciate feedback on this even if you're a long-time Minecraft player! 


Additionally, we have some specific questions for you: 

  • Have you noticed the new game tips?
  • Do you think they could be useful for new players? 
  • Do you like the visuals/animations of the new game tips? 
  • Do you find them annoying, too repetitive or none of the above? 

Once you've experienced the new game tips feature for yourself, let us know what you think in the comments!

    Alex's shirt does not quite match the skin. The shirt needs a small hole to fit her neck, similar to the skin.

    There should be game tips for crafting recipes, chosen by the player.

    The game tips are very useful for new players, but adding a tutorial world similar to the Legacy Console Edition would be even better.

    The game tips should appear in the in-game encyclopedia.

    The Open your inventory game tip could have variants, chosen by the player. There could be a variant for crafting a crafting table in the image.

    This is the Open inventory game tip. This is the stick crafting variant:

    The new game tips look better compared to Java, and thus Java should update the game tip textures.

    A tutorial World from Legacy Console is shown below:

    It really helps new players better than basic game tips.

             I think these could be added as new game feature on Java and bedrock addition to Minecraft. Plus, it could even can be mentioned as an easy [gameplay] swimming tip technique in Minecraft, for getting out of difficult situations or building hazards. All they have to do is sprint in shallow water and they can go into swim mode to swim themselves out of a mob grinders, or to get out of being trap by a waterfall in a cave system:

             it was mentioned as  Swimming can be activated in shallow water and One block swimming..... or something like that, during the 1.13 version of Minecraft. it was also title as file [MCPE-3875] and (MCPE-46796). Many people enjoy this feature. Before it was removed in the 1.14 updated version. Which said “players can no long activate swim mode in shallow water.” And people like me are wanting this feature back, so badly.
