Minecraft to get new menus soon on all 'Bedrock' platforms

We're finally getting better menus.

Minecraft remains an incredibly popular game even to this day, but there are some issues which need to be addressed. For example, the user interface (UI) could be much better and more streamlined. Luckily, Microsoft is aware of these problems and plans on updating the menus in the near future.

Today, a post on Minecraft's website detailed some of the changes coming to the game. The team wants players to contribute their menu designs by downloading templates and sharing them online.

Menus! They're essential for helping you navigate Minecraft and get to what you want with ease. That's why we've started working on a major redesign of the Minecraft menu... for all Bedrock Engine-based platforms (so that's Minecraft on Xbox One, Windows 10, virtual reality, mobile devices, and Nintendo Switch). What would you like to see from an updated Minecraft menu? Whatever your ideas are, we'd love to see them... share your designs with us... you can do that on our our Minecraft Discord channel.

It'll be interesting to see what fans come up with. Hopefully the developer will incorporate a lot of feedback to make navigating the UI even better. We'll keep you posted as soon as the team finalizes its plans and shares the new look. Until then, be sure to contribute your ideas. Please keep in mind that the 'Bedrock' version isn't available on PlayStation because Sony blocks cross-play.

  • No one's imposing the restriction on Sony. That's their own decision. If they allow cross-play they too can get the new menu.
  • Exactly, that's why there are two versions on Minecraft, one for PS4 and one for everyone else.
  • Please delete it.
  • Xbox One and Nintendo Switch as only these two platforms among the consoles. Again. Nice!
    Maybe we'll more support from Microsoft on Nintendo's platform, like for example putting Xbox Live support to their games. Would be nice to unlock some Achievements on Switch in other titles and browse it on Xbox One or Xbox app through that listing. Or maybe Microsoft will share some Rare's characters to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and Nintendo will allow to have Xbox Live with that game. Would be great!
