With the new 24w09a snapshot, we're giving select parts of the Minecraft: Java Edition UI a new coat of paint! The UI has been updated to sport a fresher look and to be more consistent in terms of UI element layout and positioning.
- The menu background dirt texture has been replaced with a semi-transparent texture.
- If you like dirt, don't fret! The old texture has been moved to the built-in Programmer Art Resource Pack. - Paired with the new background texture is a blur layer to give a frosted glass effect.
- The strength of the blur can be configured in Accessibility Settings.
- In-game screens such as containers and books are not affected by these changes. - Outside the game, the menu panorama is persistently displayed across all screens, and is still configurable in the Accessibility Settings.
- While in-game, the world is now visible behind all menu screens. Instant feedback when changing graphics settings!
- Screen elements such as titles and buttons are positioned more consistentlly across different screens.
- The Player and World Backups screens in Realms have been updated.
- After defeating the Ender Dragon and entering the End Portal, the End poem and credits are now displayed with a background based on the animated End Portal effect.
With these changes, we want to deliver a better-looking, more user-friendly UI experience for Java Edition, while preserving the charm and familiarity of previous versions. Let us know what you think in the comments below!
