Let's talk about the updated game menu! (Bedrock)

Pinned

The game menu been refreshed with a brand-new look!

  • You can now find the players in your world (as well as all your Minecraft friends!) tucked into the social menu in the top right hand corner of your screen.
  • Also, it's easier to access Achievements, just look for the book icon!

We’d love to hear your thoughts on this! Let us know in the comments — what do you think?
Also, if you find any bugs, make sure to report them over at https://bugs.mojang.com/.

Thank you!

    It's in need of some huge improvements:

    1. The black background should be centered

    2. The player name should be re-added

    3. Buttons like the Achievements / Screenshot should be next to the friends button

    4. PC and Mobile should have different sized buttons

    5. The player skin / character creator should have an option to be able to switch it to be on the right side of the screen or the left side 

    Improvements like these would really make it better

    Why does this redesign still use the old buttons and not the redesigned ones present in previous OreUI redesigns? Is this a placeholder?

    Me agrada como se ve, pero me gustaría tener ahí un acceso rápido a ajustes como la perspectiva del jugador (primera persona, tercera persona), distancia de renderizado y algunas más para que sea más cómodo y práctico para quienes jugamos en móvil

    the new OreUi in general feels really unnecessary and most feedback from bedrock players is negative as 1. it doesnt feel right (especially mixed with the regular ui, sicne it was half released at random for official updstes instead of remaining in previews only) 2. there is no need for a new UI at all, the old one was fine and no one complained. 3. it feels like a cheap attempt at making a mobile friendly UI even tho that is already a thing. forcing it on all devices and not being toggleable is NOT a good thing. i really hope you realize its not what the community wants.

    I prefer the old ui.

    Its buttons are of a nicer scale. This ones buttons are too small for mobile.

    Settings is a commonly used button, yet on this new ui, its not one of the large buttons

    The players usernames no longer displayed, it should be displayed.

    I'm not entirely sure why, but the player avatar, and the friends button appear like theyre not aligned at all, and look off when in their position in the new UI.

    The game is paused indicator has a position thats not too obvious. It should be in the empty space in the middle, where its more obvious, and visible. 

    PLEASE add a toggle to use the old UI, like how theres a toggle for pocket and classic UI

     

    This change is uneccessary. If mojang wants to make a new UI thats more friendly for mobile, it should be mobile exclusive, and have larger buttons than this.

    I like how minimal it is and you can see the middle of the screen

    Visually the menu is an improvement, however the big problem is the settings button, and the marketplace button. The button below "Resume Game" used to be a full sized settings button. Now, it's a marketplace button, with the settings button being a tiny button at the bottom.

    This is, pretty obviously, a terrible change. It feels like it was a malicious change, relying on users' muscle memory to get them to accidentally enter the marketplace.

    Swap the positions of the settings and marketplace buttons, or have 4 full size buttons like before. if you have 3 full size buttons and then a few smaller ones, the marketplace should not be wasting one of those big button spots.

    I don't like that "browse add-ons" is right in between the large buttons for "resume game" and "save and quit" now, it's not something that most people use while in-game compared to the game settings so it should probably be one of the smaller buttons instead while the settings are moved back to the middle spot. Otherwise I do like it, it feels more natural.

    It’s very good! I say the only change it needs is the settings button. Please make it a gear symbol. It would look great epic.

    They should be fixing both the old and (especially) new UI instead of making these unnecessary changes.

    I think the "Go to feedback site" should be replaced with the settings button, as the settings button is more used than the go to the feedback site.

    I don't know if this is possible but could the old menu still be kept in 1.21.110? I know from .110 previews that the player list and permissions screen have already been moved to the new social drawer but with the old style it creates a very big empty gray section on the right with only a very minimalistic button on the top. I really like the new menu btw!

    I absolutely love this new UI! Thank you so much for the hard work. My feedback is for the controller input; to have all buttons be virtually aligned to the left side, so that there is no need to move to the Dressing room on the right, to then go up to the Friend/Players list using the D-pad

    Having the X & Y buttons still being mapped to screenshot and to enter the dressing room is still a nice feature

    I personally like this look for the menu, but I believe that it would be better (both functionally and visually) if the settings and feedback buttons were swapped out. The buttons on the left look as if they could be centered better (to be more specific, there is too little space before the darkened area ends) and the friends/player list button feels out of place. Maybe it could be moved to the left side as well or have another darkened area behind it? Generally speaking, a lot of the things in this menu feel unaligned (in a bad way), but, if these things were fixed, it could probably be a major improvement from what is currently avaiable in the game.

    I feel like the paper doll should move somewhere else or just make it in your profile. And please make it oresui

    The "Browse Add-Ons!" button should never have priority over the Settings button. The average player is pausing the screen to either temporarily stop gameplay to attend to other matters, or change a game setting, NOT to buy content from the market place.

    It looks nice but I think it can be improved. First I think the main buttons should be at the center like java and legacy edition and should be smaller so that you can still see your game. I really think that it's very inconvenient having to look completely to the left or right to see the buttons and It'll get annoying. I also think the settings should be one of the main buttons instead of the smaller ones since it's usually what most people would pause the game for. Lastly I think the game hud should still be visible while paused and I also think there should be a button to hide the hud in the pause menu since controller and touch doesn't have that feature because of the lack of binds. In my opinion I think the menu looks like it's more toward mobile than any other platform. Since the buttons are on the sidr it's easy for touch users to navigate. However people on monitors or TVs like me would rather have everything on the center of the screen because it would easier for that person to immediately find the buttons they need instead of having to go on a scavenger hunt to find the achievements tab. But that's all the criticism I have so far on the menu and I hope these changes happen.

    Honestly it sucks, to me even the current one looks better. I mean where even is the friends tab?? And whats with the obsession with minimalism?? Add some color some interest something attractive.

    It's very nice visually. But I wish they'd swap the position of the settings button with the "Go to feedback site" button, settings should be given more priority.
    Also... I wish they'd add an extra button where the player can have settings at their fingertips, selecting settings like FOV, render distance, or music volume. And by pressing that button, you'll have those settings available to change more quickly. Just a suggestion.
    But they go very well with the redesigned menus in Bedrock Edition.

    Settings should be a prioritised icon on the main 3 tiles instead of the feedback one

    apart from that, looks good!

    The add-ons should not prioritize the settings. I like the concept, but seeing the word "settings" makes things a lot more easy. Overall, this does clean up the settings menu, and I can actually see what's going on when I'm paused. Just one small change and it's perfect imo.

    It would be nice to switch the addons search button with the settings button. I use settings a lot for video settings and pack logs for instance. Having settings be closer and more bigger would be excellent.

    The Browse Add-Ons button should never have priority over the Settings button, It's fine that they want to sell their addons, but if they're implementing so many "accessibility" improvements, they should start with the menu and make navigation much easier.

    Where are the OreUI buttons?

    This is great, but what if the layout were like this:

    MINECRAFT

    Resume Game

    Invite to Game

    Save & Quit

    'A' 'B' 'C' 'D'

     

     

    A = Options/Settings

    B = Achievements

    C = Marketplace (or Browse Addons)

    D = Screenshot

     

    This would be a good way to make the pause menu ui cleaner, but others might have better ideas!

    Can you make the icon pixel size the same size as the text pixel size? (specifically the friends icon) It's an inconsistency that I wish I hadn't noticed.

    Settings button needs to be on the main screen. No reason for add ons to be a prominent button
