Let’s talk about the new Bedrock Edition Play screen!

Pinned

The Play screen in Minecraft Bedrock Edition has been completely redesigned for a better user experience. It’s now organized into several tabs:

  • Worlds tab: Access your saved local and LAN worlds.
  • Realms: Easily jump into Realms you own or have joined.
  • Servers: Join multiplayer featured servers from our partners, and add or access your custom servers.

You can also:

  • Create from, and rate, your owned templates as well as discover Minecraft creator made content.
  • Connect with your Minecraft friends (they now live in the top right hand corner of the screen!)

These updates are being rolled out incrementally, so they might not be available to you right away.


Happy Crafting!

    I think your can try to change the rendering dragon to optional installation. Everyone had a good time at 1.21.50.01

    Please fix the performance of this Screen and other screens to were updated to OreUI. Every time the game tries to load an OreUI menu, it lags (as demonstrated by the panorama frequently freezing). In addition the text rendering is simply awful. At lower resolutions text gets very blurry. JSON UI never suffered from any of these issues. My feedback to the team is for them to please work on improving performance (MCPE-180677) and text rendering (MCPE-180676) of all OreUI menus before even attempting to change any in-game UI.

    1. On console, trying to directly enter a world (form the new world selection menu) which has multiplayer enabled in the options just doesn't let you unless you pay for Xbox Live/PS+/etc. You aren't trying to play MP, just play on your world created with the settings which are enabled by default. 
    2. The menu still lacks any sort of resource pack support. That's fine for a feature in preview, but the old JSON UI had full resource pack support allowing layout changes, so a feature put in the release version of the game should be a finished feature with equal or greater functionality to what it replaces. As it is, it feels unfinished.
    3. The "realms" tab taking the place of the "friends" tab is bad for encouraging multiplayer since it takes attention away from it. No reason it couldn't be 4 tabs instead of 3 tabs and then 1 button off in the corner.

    Things you should add to improve the play screen: (Based on my experience) 

    1. Make it so you can see the number of the ping in some way; some people like me find the number very useful. 

    2. Make it so you can switch between the styles because I have heard many people complain about how the old one was better. 

    3. I used to have an easy time to join my friend's worlds with the friends tab, now me and my friends have a hard time figuring it out, maybe have the friends and realm tab together and put some of the old features like joining a friend's world with just a click of a button from the friends tab.

    Give us an option to revert to the old play screen. I absolutely cannot stand this one after 13 years of an unchanged screen. GIVE US THE OLD ONE BACK!

    Very, very uncomfortable, plus straight up getting rid of friends tab is just... a really bad idea to begin with.
    when you have many friends to join in bedrock, you'd choose the world you want to join from IT'S WORLD NAME. of course who you want to join is important too, but it all comes to name of the world.

    when you like to join "a pvp world your friend is making" of course, you will LOOK. AT. THE. NAME. OF THE WORLD.
    now it all looks the same and all the appeal of multiplayer worlds are gone since its just "Friend name: join". this is flawed ngl

    Joining freinds' worlds is too convoluted/hidden, I feel like a new tab would be a lot better

    Can the interface be further scaled down, I already consider it wayyy too oversized and wasteful with screen space at the lowest UI scale I can set within the game's video settings. It leaves ridiculous amounts of dead space between individual elements within a world's button, such as the world name, gamemode, last time played, file size and the edit button.

    It is about as wasteful with screen space as Windows 8 was.

    My autistic son is beside himself with this change, he can't handle it... so much so he's quit the game and won't play it any more. Please can there be an option to display the old style for those that would prefer it?

    Put the last one. This one is not good. Reason:

    Can't see player world name

    Can't see the color of the name of your world

    It's not friendly helping

    I have like 400 worlds and I can see easily my last world like BEFORE

    The new friend tab is a ctually not good cause they need to press it to see player world

    Please let us see ping again! Overall, I don't think it was a bad change, but having a vague indicator is completely useless as an indication of server connection. PLEASE bring the ping number back!

    ¿Cuando se actualizará la nueva interfaz para los que jugamos en la plataforma de Computadora? Pregunto esto porque llevo leyendo que ya lo habían incluido desde hace tres actualizaciones menores pero aún sigo sin tener la nueva interfaz. Opino que si van a liberar una nueva interfaz o característica del juego lo hagan para todos de una vez, y no de manera gradual. Gracias por su atención, espero pronta respuesta y/o aclaración

    I literally have been playing minecraft my entire life and have never had an issue with the play screen until now. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make it a setting to change back to the old one because I can't stand the new one.

    I have 3 local servers and since the UI change I can't see all my servers, often I can't see any of them, this seems like a deliberate move to force me to realms.

    Why can I only see 1 LAN server?

    You've also removed server version!

    Hate the new one so much please make it optional. If I cannot switch back, I'm going to Java Edition permanently. This new thing takes up so much more space on the screen and it just looks awful. Please let me change it back.

    Honestly, I don't like this new Bedrock Play screen.

    I loved the old one and I would like you to bring it back.

    Please bring the old one back.

    Thanks.

    Give some suggestions. The server list of Ore UI does not add the maximum player display limit, but only adds the current number of online servers. I urge developers to add the maximum server display function of Ore UI back.

    I think the ping value of the server should be accurately displayed, just like the original json UI, which displays a more accurate number to help players judge the current server delay, instead of just displaying a string of words and an icon as it is now. I urge developers to add the function of accurately displaying the ping value of the server back.

    I think there should be a way to turn it off though

    When the Worlds tab loads, either (a) one LAN game is shown from however many are really running, or (b) none are shown

    If (b), then setting LAN worlds to hidden, and then back to shown (top left of worlds tab) will show one LAN world (just like case a)

    However, if you change to Realms tab, and then back to Worlds, no LAN games will be shown again. Go back to the main menu (Play / Settings / Marketplace) and back in again, and you are back at the top of this loop.

    Hopefully this may help the team fix the worlds tab, so LAN games are shown as intended. NB: Tested on Bedrock 1.21.62 on Android. Similar behavior on X-Box

    Can you add back the server's version number display function, maximum number display function and accurate ping value function, which can help players improve the game experience?

    The missing LAN games issue mentioned in multiple comments is reported as MCPE-190764. https://report.bugs.mojang.com/servicedesk/customer/portal/6/MCPE-190764

    I guess that votes there are more effective than here

    I think the original was bad, but this... no. Revert back to 4Js, even if that is to resource incentive.

    The world list needs to come back. The whole cool thing about bedrock was making your world visible to others trough the multiplayer tab. Dedicating an entire tab for just realms is just not needed and nobody asked for it. It's clearly aimed at more people buying realms because now multiplayer worlds aren't visible anymore. Having a tab for realms is okay. But the multiplayer tab with the joinable worlds list needs to come back. Personally this is a huge downgrade.

    A nice thing would be to make the friends tab more visible
