That’s why we’ve started working on a major redesign of the Minecraft menu – also known as the UI (User Interface) – for all Bedrock Engine-based platforms (so that’s Minecraft on Xbox One, Windows 10, VR, mobile devices and Nintendo Switch).

Moving stacks of items around
Here are a few tricks for moving items around in containers and crafting tables.
Pick up and drop whole stack.
Hold and drag over a few slots to distribute a stack between them.
Double click to collect items into one stack.
Pick up half of the items in a stack.
Place one item from a stack.
Hold and drag to place one item in each of a number of slots.

| Setting | Description | Default | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| FOV | A value that controls how much of the game world is visible on the screen. Also known as Field of View.
In Minecraft, the FOV value represents how many degrees of vertical vision the player gets without modifying effects such as sprinting, flying or status effects. Note that other games FOV setting might represent different angles, meaning that using the same FOV value across different games can yield different results. The table below shows how Minecrafts FOV setting affects horizontal field of view in different display aspect ratios.
|
Normal (70) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Difficulty | Set the difficulty level from the choice of Peaceful, Easy, Normal, and Hard. If the padlock is clicked and confirmed, the difficulty on that world cannot be changed without commands. (Note that the difficulty cannot be changed if playing Hardcore Mode. On a server, difficulty can be changed only by commands or editing the server.properties file.)
Only visible when in a world. |
Varies on difficulty set on current world or server; defaults to Normal on Create New World screen. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
This is only visible in the main menu or when on a server.

| Render Distance | The render distance controls how many chunks of the world are visible at once. The fewer chunks that are included, the faster each frame can be rendered, resulting in higher frames per second (FPS).
The most distant terrain is faded into the sky color as if by fog, to avoid a sharp edge to the visible world; so this option is also known as “fog”. The maximum value is 32 for 64-bit Java installs with at least 1 gigabyte of memory, and 16 in all other cases. Note: diameter = radius × 2 + 1

| Chunk Builder | Determines which chunk sections are updated synchronously during a single frame.

| Simulation Distance | Simulation distance is similar to render distance, but affects the number of chunks in which entities are updated, and blocks and fluids are ticked. Simulation distance is more taxing on performance than the equivalent level of render distance. The available values are the same as render distance, except the minimum value is 5 chunks. | 12 chunks (64‑bit Java)
8 chunks (32‑bit Java) |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Smooth Lighting | Lighting is smoothed across the blocks (ambient occlusion) or each block has a distinctive light level. This setting does not change the gameplay in any way, but it has a slight effect on performance. | Maximum | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Max Framerate | Limits the FPS. Limiting the framerate to a multiple of the player monitors refresh rate can save processing power. | 120 fps | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| VSync | Limits the players frames per second to the screens refresh rate, which is usually 60 Hz, 75 Hz, or 120 to 240 Hz on some gaming-targeted screens. Enabling VSync fixes tearing, but increases input latency and causes stuttering if ones computer cannot draw enough frames per second. | ON | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| View Bobbing | Toggles the “bobbing” motion of the camera as the player is walking. Disabling it may increase performance. | ON | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| GUI Scale | Controls the GUI (Graphical User Interface) scale. This also controls the HUD (Heads Up Display) size. Note that the options available to the player depends on the game resolution. The number of available GUI scales for a specific resolution can be calculated using this formula: max(1, min(floor(width / 320), floor(height / 240))). A GUI scale of 1 is properly scaled using a resolution of 320×240, but smaller resolutions might cause elements to run offscreen. A GUI scale of n is only available at a resolution equal to or higher than (320 * n)x(240 * n), so a GUI scale of 2 is only available at resolution 640×480 or higher, a GUI scale of 3 is only available at resolution 960×720 or higher, and so on. There is no technical limit to how many GUI scales can be available. Auto sets the GUI scale to the highest value available for the current resolution. |
