New inventory UI

to be honest,I feel like minecraft could use a new inventory GUI,more specifically,one that would give players more opportunities.

I have my own idea for what this GUI could be:

for the sake of comparison,I've put the original one in this thread as well,the reason for this suggestion is that I believe minecraft is going for a new look,updates are adding less simplistic things and more content,for that,there are some things that could use of this inventory,I'll explain each added feature step by step.

 

The first added feature that you may pay attention is the extended inventory,it would not stay there all the time,and it would only be there when you are equiped with one specific item,that could be a backpack,or a quiver(I've always thought that it would be a cool thing to add) and if added,maybe a ender backpack to access your enderchest,it would be something cool. One might say that we already have the shulker box to replace that,but problem is:

1:you need to go to the end to get it,which might not be much,but for newcomers and casuals won't be seeing it for a while when they start the game

2:the backpack could still have an use as it actually extends your inventory,and it is easier to use,as you don't exactly have to put a block to use it,it is an extension to the inventory

So,for that,I believe a backpack could still have a use in the game.

 

The next added feature are 3 more slots in the place where you put armors,which are:

Accessories(not exactly necessary,I only made it for symmetry) which in it,you would use something like a necklace that could give you some benefits,might not fit in the game

Back:Place where you could use a variety of items that would unnecessarily replace the chest armor if used or that have no place in the game,items used in this slot would be backpacks,quivers,capes and the Elytra.This would allow for a better gameplay as some items limitations would go away,so,for example,air pvp could be more elaborate due to you being able to use a chest armor instead of having to replace it for the elytra.

next slot is the glove slot,it's self explanatory,I believe minecraft could use an extension to the armor,perhaps it would be a weaker part of the armor than the boots,it could raise your damage without an weapon,so if your sword broke or dropped,you wouldn't be hopeless.

 

And with that,I believe the experience in the game would be improved

  I like it! I like the back icon you made, and also enchanted neckwear could be a nifty addition to the game. Gloves & gauntlets should've been in awhile ago, 'cos we've been battling with unprotected arms since the Minecraft Epoch! Also they added the offhand slot, which is kind of awkwardly placed on its own. I'd like to see the rest of the row filled in :)
  
  The backpack thing interests me. I don't see the need for inventory expansion (I think it's of a satisfactory size right now) BUT I do see a left-out explanation for why the player can hold 36 items. I've always imagined players wearing invisible backpacks. What I want to see is the 27-slot inventory done away with, then 4 tiers of backpacks which expand your inventory to the normal limit and beyond:

  • Tier 0 (No packpack): 9-slot hotbar only
  • Tier 1 (Wood Framed Pack): 9-slot hotbar + 9-slot inventory.
  • Tier 2 (Woolen Knapsack):  9-slot hotbar + 18-slot inventory
  • Tier 3 (Leather Backpack): 9-slot hotbar + 27-slot inventory
  • Tier 4 (Ender Bag): 9-slot hotbar + 36-slot inventory

  Those materials 1-3 oughtn't be too hard to get. Plus when you die, all your stuff ought to remain bagged up inside the pack

  It's severely uncanny how close your idea is to mine... as well as the arrangement of the slot items. 
  Truly remarkable... alas, your usages of them are very severely limited and riddled with concepts that have already been denied. 
  I suppose I shall have to make my own post about this.

  I always though an new UI update would take the survival inventory UI and add tabs.  One tab would be your regular/main inventory.  The other tabs would be slots where you can link a shulker box or ender chest, as long as shulker is in your main inventory.  Just select any shulker tab in your inventory to have quick access to those shulker items.  These tabs would be like a pockets lined with your shulker box, and could access the contents of the shulker with out putting it down on the ground.

  Lets say you have a shulker of different copper blocks and want to use a few of them.  If the shulker is in main inventory, you can assign it to a tab, select the tab, the contents of the shulker are displayed and accessible as if it were your inventory. If you then need some wood, just select that tab with the wood shulker box and you have access to all your wood with out moving inventory around.  When you are done with the shulkers, you just select your main inventory tab and everything is back to normal.

  No extra inventory space is created here, just easier access to items in the shulkers so items don't have to be moved in and out of your main inventory when you are working with many different blocks and items.  They remain in the shulkers and you can just access them by changing tabs.
