My talk about @reactjs in @Minecraft is finally public on YouTube: https://t.co/RHe7CgwxrZ

[Paulo Ragonha @pirelenito]

@Volgar @Vextrove Hello! I think the easiest way might be to watch this conference talk I gave recently: https://t.co/tuzLSi9MCi

[React Advanced Conference @ReactAdvanced]

In this video, @pirelenito will tell you about the history of how Mojang Studios decided to use web standards and #React to build the new UI stack for Minecraft (Bedrock Edition).

[Paulo Ragonha @pirelenito]

@Mojang @reactjs But a couple of the core concepts will likely remain the same (like the declarative and "controlled" nature of the API).

[Paulo Ragonha @pirelenito]

While we wait for my most recent talk to go public, we can watch another @Mojang related talk done back in 2019. It shows our early explorations of handling gamepad focus navigation (also with @reactjs).

@Mojang @reactjs We are currently reworking that original implementation after building a couple of UIs. And that is the main reason we haven't open-sourced it yet.

[Paulo Ragonha @pirelenito]

@TresAbhi_ @reactjs To be fair, we need to improve its visibility. Thanks for the input ❤️

[Paulo Ragonha @pirelenito]

Our team is super excited to share that we have started some open-sourcing! 📦

The fist package is a custom @reactjs renderer and state management system, built specifically to target Game UI development.

@mattahj @reactjs I think the issue is that internally it always convents them to strings. So there is always a small performance hit.

[Paulo Ragonha @pirelenito]

@mattahj @reactjs Thanks ❤️

We did some comparisons internally, and the results were mostly comparable. One benefit on our solution is support for the number based APIs (ex: topPX). The data-bind is only string based (for now).

Also, React was more natural to our workflow.

[Paulo Ragonha @pirelenito]

Also expect some updates in the documentation as well 👍

[Paulo Ragonha @pirelenito]

The API is still evolving, so we might update things ahead of our 1.0 release. But we do already have a production screen using this library.

[Paulo Ragonha @pirelenito]

Thanks for everyone that attended my talk live at @ReactAdvanced. For anyone that couldn't attend, I'll post a link here once it is available for everyone.

It was a developer conference, but if you were waiting for a sneak peek on the new UI components... here it is ☺️

[Paulo Ragonha @pirelenito]

@SIchijo1 @Lord_Knightskin @_marcjones_ @Mojang @ReactAdvanced @CoherentLabs Já temos a tela de "Achievements" usando o novo sistema. Conferiu? O que achou dela?

[Paulo Ragonha @pirelenito]

Are you curious about the new Minecraft UI we've building at @Mojang?

On the 25th I'll do a talk at @ReactAdvanced about how we are using Web Standards, React and @CoherentLabs Gameface to build the new UI for Minecraft. 👀

[Paulo Ragonha @pirelenito]

@eplxteek @Mojang @ReactAdvanced @CoherentLabs The UI in Bedrock. We have already updated the "Achievements Screen" to the new system, and we have more coming soon.

[Paulo Ragonha @pirelenito]

@Prowl8413 @Mojang @ReactAdvanced @CoherentLabs Yes! We are updating the UI for all platforms, screens and input types supported by Bedrock.

[Paulo Ragonha @pirelenito]

If a video doesn't load, simply refresh the screen. I'll try fixing that latter on.

[Paulo Ragonha @pirelenito]

Over the weekend I've fixed and re-launched an old project of mine that tries to find "random" YouTube videos. You can check it out at https://t.co/IUmM3B8ab8

Still a bit hacky and buggy, but it works 😅
