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!

    Where's the settings button

    It is blatantly greedy to place the "Browse Add-Ons!" button in such a place. Even besides that, it is an accessibility issue to not have the literal "Settings" button as easy to press as possible. Please fix this. It does not matter if this abhorrent change came from Microsoft or Mojang. The motivation could not be more transparent.

    I don't think most of us agree on the new UI changes, not only can Add-ons not be enabled ingame you gotta go all the way back to main menu to enable them. I believe the settings button should be more accessible. Swap the marketplace button where the settings button is or just add an extra bar for marketplace.

    The settings menu should be were it was – above the Add-ons button. It's a commonly used button, now it's small and barely visable. Please change it back. It might be hard for players used to the old layout to find it at all.

    Also, smaller buttons should probably extend for 1/3 a length of normal button, so thay they are more accesible and visible.

    It's Awful

    It can't be said too often:
    Downsizing the Settings button and putting the Marketplace button between the Resume Game and Save and Quit buttons is only to get more people (primarily kids) to click on the marketplace and spend money there. It's not helping players but only to let Microsoft squeeze more money out of accidental clicks on the middle button. This place should be reserved for the settings.

    This is the kind of predatory monetization that terrifies me for the future of gaming. Taking something that is muscle memory and replacing it with "Browse Add-Ons", come on, how desperate are you to get people to spend money on the game? Frankly, adding full parody between the two versions would be the best option in my mind, however, make Bedrock version a full console version of Java.

    Settings should be where the marketplace button is and vice-versa, their current placement feels intended to trick people into entering the marketplace.

    Put settings button back where it's supposed to be, replace the marketplace button with it. Actually just remove the marketplace button from the pause menu, it only needs to be in the main menu.

    greedy. pigs. this update is a tactic to make children click where the settings button used to be and accidentally end up in the marketplace, thus scrolling thru all of your stupid paid mods (disney, poppy playtime, horror, etc.) and probably buying some because they're children and that's what they do. they see something they like and they ask for it. the problem is, you're indirectly forcing them to see it. this version of the game has been going increasingly downhill since the microsoft acquisition but this is just disgusting.

    Cool update, but I have two things I would like:

    1. PLEASE make the settings button bigger or just make it an actual gear.
    2. Would be nice to not be reminded I'm playing Minecraft above "Resume Game", instead maybe make it the world's name (like The Ty-el' UI Pack) cause SOME people forget (maybe) what world they are in.

    If you happen to do that, thanks! Appreciate it!

    Bring back the full size settings button please. This makes it harder for me to manage my settings because the button is out of place and is so small now. Some people don't like to have a giant storefront in their face all the time, and having the store in the menu feels too pushy and can discourage spending.
    Maybe the buttons for marketplace and settings could be swapped, so we have a smaller marketplace button and a full settings button. I think many people would like that better.
    This new ui is a bad move and I hope it is reconsidered, at least so we get our settings button back where it belongs.

    I personally don't like the Setting button being relegated to the bottom as it's one of the most used buttons on this screen. The Marketplace shouldn't have priority over the Settings, it feels really malicious to rely on user's muscle memory to make them go to the Marketplace. :/

    This is straight up disgusting. Put the settings button back in its place

    Pretty mid. For one, the buttons that show as icons should be words instead (especially the options button, which should definitely be bigger, replacing the Add-Ons button.) Also, the title doesn't need to show above the buttons, we all know it's Minecraft. Third, the username needs to appear over the player's skin as with the current options menu. Another thing, the buttons should be more proportional to the screen size.

    This menu sucks, and I don't think I need to explain why.

    Please bring back the old menu, this is absolutely terrible and unnecessary. Also shoving add-ons in our faces is absolutely NOT what we want.

    Put settings back in the big 3 buttons! Having the link to the marketplace there just feels scammy and frankly I have given Microsoft enough money.

    Mouse movement is broken as you can accidentally click out of the game while playing and launch start menu/etc. Gamebreaking!!! And can lead to dying because you have to get back into the game again. Also fix the settings button, its too small

    Giving the Marketplace button priority over the Settings button is anti-consumer and unambiguously evil. The UI is like a predator trying to lure children into spending money every time they pause the game.

    The heavily animated, always-changing Marketplace button on the title screen is also an abhorrent dark pattern of UI, but at least it's not taking the place of the Settings button.

    Do the executives making these decisions have a soul? Or is money and statistics all they care about?

    The UI looks nice enough, but having the "Browse Add-Ons" button replacing the far more useful settings button in a game predominantly played by children is a really scummy move that appears to be designed to trick people's muscle memory into opening the marketplace? Even in the hellish modern microtransaction landscape, it's really poor.

    Put settings back as a large button, move the marketplace button somewhere else.

    Kindly move the settings button back to right beneath the resume button. Making it tiny and replacing it with a button to go to the marketplace is predatory, especially towards kids

    Please revert back to the old ui, the new UI is just way less intuitive as we now have to click on a button to see who is in our world which is annoying, the marketplace button shouldn't be a big button like that as the maketplace is just useless in game as we can't directly download and use the pack without leaving the world anyways, and the settings button is way too small and harder to quickly reach.

    The old UI was nearly perfect there was absolutely no reasons to change it.

    Thanks for reading my feedback.

    Microsoft. There is zero need for a mine-craft currency, nor a market place as a dedicated browse add-on button replacing settings, moving settings to an obscure not clearly marked button? This is deceptive and manipulative. The only people benefiting from this is the bean counters at Microsoft, and I will make a very obvious effort to not use the market place. Screw bedrock.

    please revert this. its ugly, the settings are too small, and microsoft is getting too greedy putting "browse addons" on there. I think i speak for the majority of the minecraft bedrock community when i say this change is BAD.
