Minecraft encourages players to explore and build their worlds however they choose. I believe that the UI should match the level of customization the game offers internally.
☆ Establishing a hierarchy.
My initial ideas started by getting rid of the standard buttons and dividing portions into sections. I wanted to utilize the space and establish a proper hierarchy to want the main action on each page would be.
☆ A clean look.
I wanted to keep the same tone of Minecraft's original feel, just clean it up a bit. My first attempts started with basic colors and outlines but I decided later on to smoothen everything out for a clean look.
☆ My results so far.
While this is a work in progress, the current results utilize proper components and layouts to make the most of the space. With a clean look, each page has a proper hierarchy and allows for further customization.
