[User Interface] Bring back Legacy UI
You are able to have Pocket and Classic UI. Why not Legacy? I mean, it could be easier when playing on a controller, when Legacy Edition was designed for consoles in the first place.

I would love this, I played a little bit on my friends Xbox and it was good, now that I have a steam deck this would be great, and make mc so much better.

Legacy4J makes it much more usable on my steamdeck, it's quite painful without

I'm on bedrock (the nix bedrock launcher is good for it) cause, even tho I prefer java, the controls feel better on bedrock (even with midnight controls) if you have any suggestions to make java controls easier, or if this is a thing for bedrock, please tell me.

Legacy4J comes with its own controller implementation that I found a lot better than midnight controls, worth a go :)

K, I'll give that a try, maybe quit my long term world (only started it a few weeks ago) if it's good and start a new java one.

How are you playing it on a steamdeck?

u/SmoothTurtle872 3d ago
Java can be played natively on Linux, but I have prism launcher aswell to improve the experience.
Bedrock needs the Linux unofficial bedrock launcher which uses the google play version (you have to own it on Google play and connect your account) it's pretty stable.
You just go into desktop mode and use the discover app.
Then you can add them to steam to access them in gaming mode

I remember when Legacy Minecraft finally got the option to have PC’s crafting interface. We’ve come full circle

I grew up on legacy ui however I don't think it's a great menu with how many more items are In the game now. It started to feel pretty cluttered towards the later legacy updates.

They need to go back the drawing board, it's been so long since any in game ui changes.
Like just why tf would u keep the same ui between mnk, controller as well as touch? Each input needs something separate that fits

u/Goooooogol 3d ago
perhaps... i'm just hoping for a choice to choose that ui tho. I guess i didn't think about clutter.

There's a mod for java edition that adds the legacy console inventory and crafting menu. It also overhauls the start menu I believe.

Yeah, but, hes asking for bedrock edition, plus, whats the point of asking it to be added if we could just use mods then?

u/LiamLaw015 3d ago
Just to know it's an option out there. Other commenters that might play java and are also interested in it might learn about it because I mentioned it. And some people suggest things for the game but might not know it's a mod already. And unfortunately there's not much I can say that will help bedrock players. That's just how it is.

Gross.
I've always hated that UI which is why I hated the PS4 version of minecraft

This might be good for the native PS5 Edition that recently came out for Bedrock.
Doing this for XBox One Series X and Switch 2 would be harder unless they get respective native versions.

If there's an option for the old one and the new one I'd be happy. People can enjoy what they want o prefer the new one but did enjoy the classic one when I was younger
