Bedrock 🎈Poll: Custom Hotbar Icons

[Story]

Hello Bedrock CubeCrafters!

Today I'd like to discuss the new hotbar icons which seem to be receiving quite a lot of feedback, I've tried to gather most of the feedback to understand what the issue is, I've seen a totally mixed range such as just existing, the design, the white outline or their resolution. Due to this mixed range we'd like to open the floor for discussion and also poll the icon without the white outlines.

We'd like to let you guys know that we strongly believe in the custom items as they are easier for new players to understand and learn the menus as they strongly reflect their purpose.


Option 1: New Icons with the white outline.

Options 2: Icons without the white outlines.

If there are any other concerns with the icons then feel free to raise those too below.

Quick question?
why are they 16x16 and not 32x32 like the Lucky Islands wands. The guns in Battle Zone are also 32x32 and I'm pretty sure the Among Slimes texture pack is 32x32 as well.​

I really like the new icons but without the white outlines they look even better

32x32 is reserved for things that are nearly impossible to portray accurately in 16x16, this includes the guns in Battle Zone that are too long and the wands in Lucky Islands that are also long. Among Slimes is 16x16.

I have made some 32x32 ones as a test but I'd need to actually put them in-game to properly test them. Im personally not a fan of them. It's important we match the style of the server to the vanilla hotbar as it's the one people have the most, they just dont really fit for this reason.

I think that in image 2, the social chat icon should have the gray outline that it had in image 1.

It does, you cant see it because of the background

Appearently im weird

 

[quartz 🌈]

keep the outline on the social menu since it needs that extra contrast but remove it everywhere else

It's a bit... hidden. Maybe make it slightly darker, so it's easier to see.

I prefer the one without a white outline!

 

[RobinDn]

I prefer with the with outline, that is just something I like about it, so the person can see it good. and I like the white line around the items.

 

[NotEyad]

I prefer the second one without the outline

The icons without the outline look amazing

 

[pieterpeer]

I like option 2, way cleaner!

 

[SGGSTNS]

it looks better without the white outline, although now the outline is gray, can't you remove the outline completely?

 

[Obscure_]

i prefer 2nd one

 

[ATouchscreenPlayer]

Or just revert

 

[ssunsett]

They changed the icons and they look even better!
