Let's talk about the new Minecraft Launcher Home Page!

Pinned

In the official Minecraft Launcher, we have just released a new feature under the “experimental” banner: The New Home Page.  

This new Home Page aims to be your basecamp into the Minecraft experience on PC. Here, you can do all the most basic Launcher functionality, from launching games, to accessing Quick Play, to finding out News about what’s going on in the world Minecraft.

If you want to give it a try, go into the Launcher’s “General” Settings tab, scroll down to the “Experimental Features” section, and click the “Enable HomePage” option. Once you do, your “News” section will change to the brand new “Home” layout.  

We would love to hear your feedback as we continue fine-tuning the Home Page. We want to know what you think and how this works for you, so please feel free to add your comments and thoughts under this post. Along with your general feedback, we also have some specific questions we’d like you to consider: 

  • What do you find useful about the new Home Page? 
  • Are there any key functionalities you feel are missing? 
  • Does anything feel like it’s in the wrong place? 
  • Was anything you’re used to accessing difficult to find? 
  • Is there anything you see here that you don’t think you need? 

Please let us know your feedback, thoughts, ideas and suggestions the comments!

    complètement inutile une page d'accueil doit rester "une page d'accueil" point barre.

    la surcharger est totalement inutile seul le faite de pour paramétré les info que l'on souhaite voir ou non est suffisant

    1) The main photo is not very high quality and looks quite pixely on my screen (not crisp)

    2) The screen is covered with ads for things I will never use nor am interested in since I play Java Edition

    3) The button to actually launch the game is tiny, it's supposed to be a "launcher"

    If these are fixed I would opt in, but until then it's not ready.

    Everything is great except for the fact that the images displayed for the news articles are stretched sometimes.

    It sometimes takes a few seconds for the background to actually switch from the Trails And Tales update image to the Home background, but otherwise it seems ok.

    I think, as long as you leave the legacy launcher (the one I use) as it is, then I'll accept this change to the new launcher.

    i like the idea, but i think it could still use some work. for instance, i preferred the play button being lower. i can adapt but just thought i'd throw my thoughts out there. i'm not sure if i missed anything but the installations tab does not appear to be accessible from the new page. i don't know what the plan is for the old tabs and if the plan is to get rid of them but it's kind of important to be able to configure my installations. also, i notices that, alongside having to click twice, instead of once, the version selector is really small and i can't even see the version of my Fabric installation, among other things.

    additionally, the info box on the bottom left corner is a bit jarring with its size. i reckon it should either be flat along the bottom instead of in the corner, or should be below the main image. and as someone who mostly views the window not in fullscreen, it takes up about a full quarter of the image.

    also, i would like to mention that it would probably be cleaner to have the news and patch notes articles in their own little tabs under the search bar, on the opposing side of the frame from the filters button.

    The images of the patch notes look more extended which looks very strange

    I honestly don't like it. It is hard to navigate and feels clunky. I think it needs some reworking, especially the play button It is too small and it shouldn't be on the top of the page, i hope the home page will be optional because I'd rather have the current look.

    After it's fully rolled out, could you add a setting to keep the original layout? I really don't like whenever the layout of an app, website or any GUI is changed.

    If often makes me use mods, scripts and old versions to stay on the old layout, but that isn't easy for the launcher.

    I didn't like it, there´s so much going on the screen and the fonts don't match the launcher.

    I think maybe for the next launcher update maybe there could be a three way split screen of the three different dimensions, with a player doing something relative to that dimension for each. Maybe like for the Nether, fighting blaze or mining ancient debris,  the End, a player flying around the End city on an elytra, and for the overworld maybe a player fighting mobs on a horse. I think this would be really cool, but it's just an idea😎

    The new launcher is awesome though!

    Tbh I really love the idea of minecraft presenting itself as a fun exploring game, the icons really emphasize that fun look; also it seems more straight forwards with telling where to click play, but I wish the update log (or idk how is called lol) catches more atenttion with short icons, like silly notifications on the side. Keep up with making minecraft cool.

    At first, I disliked the new home screen before actually trying it, and turns out it's great! I picked it up immediately.

    At first I was wondering where you could play your different installations, and then I found out it was in the dropdown menu next to the play button.

    Honestly I think the change is great. Could there be a setting to select the default page upon the Launcher's startup?

    After taking a screenshot of the new page, I've noticed that some of the images seem to be low-quality.

    I don't really see the point of this, and I don't like all of the Marketplace ads

    It would be nice if it would be possible to put one of the screenshots from the java versions on the banner

    Totally unnecessary, pointless, and the effort spent on a new launcher homepage could have been spent on developing cool stuff for the game. They make an update about once a year, and I'd say about 40% of the content added is meh at best. But you know what's even more disheartening? The existence of the minecraft marketplace. The biggest draw of Java Edition is the bottomless amount of mods. Shame on me for not having a PC & video card. Bedrock should get access to free mods. And another thing, if you're making mods expecting to get paid, there's absolutely no way I'd buy any of those mods. The mods that are made purely out of love for the game generally are of higher quality. For example, the Aether mod vs about 90% of the add-ons on the marketplace at the moment.
