Updated my post a bit.jorb wrote:Same UI paradigm. I don't deny that those things make a huge difference, but the fundamentals of the UI are the same.
It doesn't matter if the fundamentals are the same, the fundamentals are the same compared to World of Warcraft too.
It is the minor details and conveniences that make or break it, in the same way bad or good sound/graphics can make or break it.

It certainly sucks less than the default client, which is kind of the point.jorb wrote:Let's reframe the question a bit: Does the UI of, say, Ender's client suck?
Because if it doesn't then the UI paradigm we use is just fine.

Default UI is fine and the default client is fine aswell.jorb wrote:Sweet! But if those are the only kinds of things you want changed then by all means use a custom!

If the suck consists in some nifty features missing then, meh.
For me; I dont need all that kinky custom stuff is makes the game allot more easy and less adventures/survival.
I am not talking about ender anyways I am talking about clients like Rizen,Odin and allot more the ones I cannot name they give huge advantages. Ram indicators with arrows advanced scent systems 1 button push bots and so much more...

Yeh there is probably stuff around the fundamental paradigms that should be changed. I think the whole selecting actions and selecting your environment stuff could be handled differently, it feels slow and clunky...it is however far from trivial to come up with a solution to this.jorb wrote:Sweet!

So does movement itself. Pathfinding not really being a direct part of the UI though I guess. One of the worst things that can happen to me in this game is if I have to move back somewhere I just came from though or if I cancel an action by accident, since it takes so much time and effort to do it again.

Re: Game Development: World 7
Better organisation for craft menus, like being able to search all things by ingredients and alphabetical. r :Dperhaps the client seeing what's in your inventory and suggesting a recipe. A auto path system, ccustom hotkeys. being able to see all options from the start, but when you try to craft without the skill, it tells you what skills and discoverys you need. And for more of it to be client side rather than server side so that we don't have to wait for lag to do every little thing. I could go on.

I agree completely. The default client is terrible compared to Ender's. I use Ender's myself.cobaltjones wrote:It certainly sucks less than the default client.
