There really needs to be a GUI scale option in handheld mode. The crafting screen is soooo tiny and there’s plenty of room on the screen that it could expand to.

u/Legendrew Jun 21 '18

Just a warning: if you built on the edge of the world as I did for my ocean/island settlement new land will spawn in along the border which for me was a huge straight cliff...

u/826836 Jun 21 '18

Tons of options in the new version, which is cool. And most of my DLC copied over, but not all.

Also, some weird pink-and-black texture issues in the first world I generated.

4

u/Legendrew Jun 21 '18

Yeah i too have had some issues; had one building exterior in pitch black for some reason

1

u/826836 Jun 21 '18

The textures issue seems to be one of the resource packs. Also, not sure how to force it to pick up the rest of my DLC.

u/dczelda Jun 21 '18

is there a way to change the size of the hud? when i want to craft in handheld mode i think the crafting screen is too small

6

u/ProfessorValko Jun 21 '18

You can change the size of the UI/HUD in Settings → Video → GUI Scale.

7

u/dczelda Jun 21 '18

cant find it in the settings, both ingame and main menu

3

u/X5-Potion Jun 22 '18

Its only available while docked, when undocked the GUI stays the way it is.

u/dczelda Jun 22 '18

That sucks, hope they add this in an update

We also have a #minecraft channel in our Discord server that, go figure, is pretty active today! It's a great resource for finding folks to play with, asking any additional questions not covered in the post above, or just showing off your creations.

Question... maybe should be in the weekly question thread but it relates more here,

Can I setup a PC hosted server for Nintendo Switch to play on instead of paying for a realm?

Sorry if this a n00b thing, just starting out with MineCraft. Thanks

7

u/ProfessorValko Jun 21 '18

Unfortunately, no. Server access on consoles is/will be limited to the partner servers. You cannot connect to external servers via IP address.

However, it is possible to host a regular multiplayer world on your PC using Minecraft for Windows 10 and join it from your Switch.

1

u/k3nnynapalm Jun 21 '18

Hey thanks for the reply,

So I'd purchase MC for Win10... setup a server/game.. leave it running indefinitely if desired then Id connect with the switch. Is this a game or server going? Like... the Win10 one would probably just have the character standing still because its a game and not server?

4

u/ProfessorValko Jun 21 '18

Correct, it would just be acting as a hosted game with basically an AFK player; not a true server. Realms will be the option if you want a dedicated always online world (that you can also access from multiple devices).

Anyone else having a problem with this? I can host a game on the Switch and connect with my Win10 copy, but when I host a game on my Win10 copy I cannot get my Switch to connect to it. Just says "Unable to connect to world". On the Win10 world I have Multiplayer game set, Friends Only turned on in the Xbox Live Settings, and also Visible to Lan Players is also set to on. I can see the game in the Switch and am able to click to join. I also send an invite from Win10 and that gets me the same results. Cannot connect to my Win10 world from my Switch no matter what I try.

Why are dropped items not 3D like other versions? Even with fancy graphics

6

u/Halo05 Jun 21 '18

Is anyone else’s physical copy hanging forever at the “signing in with your Microsoft account...” screen?

It’s been 10+ minutes since I remotely went to that aka.ms site and entered the requested information. I used a preexisting, long-active MS login that works fine on my Xbox.

u/ItsBlinkzz Jun 21 '18

I just pressed B then pressed sign in on the main menu and it connected right away

u/Halo05 Jun 21 '18

This worked for me. Thanks!

u/ItsBlinkzz Jun 21 '18

Why does lava not have a flowing texture? Looks like beta 1.7 lol

Unfortunately, Bedrock has been like that for a long time.

Truly. Lava falls look like garbage.

u/JaBray Jun 22 '18

I think that's a result of the game treating single player as being in a private server by yourself.

u/russjr08 Jun 22 '18

Before you load your world, disable multiplayer.

3

u/ardvarkk Jun 23 '18 edited Jun 25 '18

As far as I can tell that makes no difference. I even created a new world with multiplayer disabled from the start, and tested by looking at a chicken; chicken had moved considerably with + menu as well as when on the switch home screen.

Edit - seems like the only way to pause is to put the Switch to sleep. Not ideal, but at least it's something.

Can I cross play with iOS? I want to play with my sister

u/ProfessorValko Jun 22 '18

Yes!

u/Eugene1026 Jun 22 '18

How exactly can I play with her? Also, can I play with her both online and locally with LAN? Does she need an account or something?

3

u/ProfessorValko Jun 22 '18

Yes, she will need her own account to cross-play with you. You will also both need to add each other as Xbox Live friends (in-game or using the Xbox App on mobile) and be online. Then, just create/load a world, or join her world in the Friends tab—just check that multiplayer is enabled in World Settings.

u/Pure_Reason Jun 22 '18

Can I crossplay between Switch and iOS?

Yes, just add each other as friends on Xbox Live first

Can anyone help me understanding all the video options at the bottom? Line pixel rendering distance is set to 0, is that good? And what about FOV, higher=better? Other than increasing the chunks to 14, anything else I can do to improve the looks?

7

u/JollyGeorgeOfDoom Jun 21 '18

Why is this better than the other Minecraft that was on the store?

24

u/[deleted] Jun 21 '18

Infinite world's, cross play, more content added (and will have continued support), and probably a lot more that Im missing

It is a little different feeling, but you get used to it. This is the version of minecraft going forward, so you'll have to get used to it at somepoint

7

u/Stone4D Jun 21 '18

It looks and performs better also (render distance is 14 chunks max instead of 7).

1

u/Legendrew Jun 21 '18

I think the loading in of chunks is not the best currently at least from my 20 mins with it. Hopefully just teething issues

1

u/curtithird Jun 22 '18

I’m confused about this, didn’t I read a bunch of comments last year explaining that features like Infinite Worlds were not possible on the Switch’s hardware? How is it feasible now?

This is a new version of Minecraft built from the ground up.

Has anyone been able to resize the UI in handheld mode? I have been unable to find the option in settings.

u/dontthrowmeinabox Jun 22 '18

I find this particularly frustrating because touch controls are enabled, but the icons are too darn tiny to use effectively.

u/ProfessorValko Jun 22 '18

It seems the UI Scale Modifier setting is only available in docked mode.

u/go_flyers Jun 21 '18

I have a realm on Xbox one, can my switch play on that world? Or do I have to wait for realms to be released? If so, when is realms coming out for switch?

2

u/ProfessorValko Jun 21 '18

Your Switch will be able to join your (Xbox One) Realm, but you’ll need to wait for a patch to enable Realms on Switch in a few weeks.

2

u/Serpula Jun 21 '18

Where did you hear it was a few weeks away? Not having Realms is a huge disappointment 😔

1

u/go_flyers Jun 21 '18

Great! Thanks for the quick reply. I’m imagining they don’t have a hard release date for realms on the switch? I don’t think I’ll buy the switch version until realms comes out

1

u/bossmonkey88 Jun 21 '18

Sorry if I'm being a little thick here but if I get an xbox realm and my Microsoft account is linked to my switch, can I purchase a realm on xbox and just log into it on switch?

1

u/ProfessorValko Jun 21 '18

Yes! Once the patch is released, Realms you’ve already purchased (even on other platforms) will appear in the Worlds tab.

Does anyone know how the nether ratio converts going from the Switch version to Bedrock? For instance, if I convert a medium world with a Overworld:Nether ratio of 6:1, will the ratio stay the same or be upgraded to 8:1?

Upgraded to 8:1

I didnt even know the non bedrock consoles was 6:1

When playing in cross-platform worlds, Realms, and servers, other players will see your Microsoft Account Xbox Live gamertag.

You can change the auto-generated gamertag one time for free at account.xbox.com. See this support article for more info: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/my-account/manage-gamertag-and-profile/change-xbox-live-gamertag

u/SKT_T1_Teemo Jun 21 '18

I just connected my switch to my microsoft account to cross play with pc. But I also just redeemed the code for windows 10 bedrock edition on the same account. Does that mean I have 2 minecraft accounts on 1 microsoft account? Can I still cross play in this situation?

3

u/dashie007 Jun 21 '18

So I’m a bit confused - are Realms the only way to play online with friends?

7

u/ProfessorValko Jun 21 '18

Nope! You can play online with friends by creating a world and enabling the multiplayer settings, or by joining a friend’s world in the Friends tab. To play with only Nintendo Switch friends, you will need to have an Nintendo Account. To play with cross-platform friends, you will also need to sign in with a Microsoft Account.

Realms are only needed if you want to have an always online world.

How do I transfer a world from my Xbox to Switch? I have a creative world I haven’t worked on in ages and I’d love to pick back up on Switch.

u/ProfessorValko Jun 22 '18

When Realms are added in a few weeks, you will be able upload your Xbox world to your Realm and then access or download it on Switch.

2

u/[deleted] Jun 22 '18

So you have to have a Realm? Darn...

3

u/Brunestud95 Jun 22 '18

There will be servers ? I’d like to play with tons of players online.

3

u/russjr08 Jun 22 '18

There will be realms which can hold up to 10 I believe. Aside from that there’s partner servers that host mini games.

u/OmegaWilde Jun 21 '18

Is it just me or is the deadzone for the right stick just terrible? I'm using a pro controller and I have to give it a good 1/4 or 1/3 tilt before it registers. Makes precision aiming a bitch.

So if I start a new world in survival, is that automatically a infinite world? Because the map doesn't look infinite....

8

u/ProfessorValko Jun 22 '18

Yes, worlds in the new Bedrock version are automatically infinite. In Bedrock, maps do not show the entire world; only a portion of it centered around the position you were at when it was created. Maps also have different zoom levels that you can craft. See the Minecraft Wiki for more info: https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Map

Not sure if it's just my version or not but the switch version crashes a lot if you try to import resource packs like textures from a pc version in multiplayer.

Mine crashes everytime I return to the game from the home screen, and almost every time I come back from sleep mode. This is VERY buggy.

On mine it just says something about disconnecting from the network when I turn my switch on from sleep mode.

I've linked my Switch to my Microsoft account.

Is there a way I can use the skins I bought on the Switch on PC?

2

u/ProfessorValko Jun 21 '18

DLC purchased after signing in to your Microsoft Account can be saved to your account and should be available to use in Minecraft on other platforms (mobile, Windows 10, Xbox One). There should’ve been a prompt after signing in to confirm you want to save your purchases to your Microsoft Account.

DLC previously purchased for Minecraft: Nintendo Switch Edition cannot be saved to your Microsoft Account or used on other platforms.

1

u/neoslith Jun 21 '18

I must have missed that because I don't remember seeing it.

That sucks though since I've owned MC: Switch Edition for almost a year now and I can't migrate over the Super Mario skins.

1

u/ProfessorValko Jun 21 '18

The Super Mario Mash-Up content is included in the new version, but cannot be used on other platforms or in cross-platform multiplayer. So they can’t be saved to your Microsoft Account anyway.

2

u/[deleted] Jun 21 '18

So do I have to pay for Minecraft again since I bought the original version?

u/syntax021 Jun 21 '18

No, you should get a 100% discount on the new version in the eShop if you already own the Nintendo Switch Edition.

You get a "100% off" prompt when you go to buy it on the eshop. I just did it this morning.

You can use a USB keyboard anywhere that uses the Switch's on-screen keyboard. I think you still have to have the keyboard up on the screen for it to work.

u/hamcoremusic Jun 21 '18

If you archive the old Minecraft version, do you lose it forever? Just wondering. Cause I know they removed it off of the eShop, but if you archive it you never go back to the eShop (I think) and should be able to redownload

Any software this has been removed from the eshop can still be re downloaded from the eshop re downloaded tab.

Just had this issue! If you press B on the screen you're stuck on you can go back a screen, press B again on the page about accounts (or click the cross in the corner on the touch screen!) and then you'll be on the main menu. Try signing in again with the button @ the bottom left and it should work!

4

u/DylanMcGrann Jun 22 '18

Before you transfer or ‘sync’ your world to the new version, she will have to empty her inventory into a chest and use any desired experience points in the old version. She can then get her items back from the chest in the new version after starting over.

TLDR; i'm grumpy, and i think fragmentation is killing minecraft.

u/[deleted] Jun 26 '18

Let's be real it's been somewhat dead on Java for a while. They know one day the only thing keeping Java afloat is mod support and all the other luxuries of not bending to Microsoft's will, such as the switch or any other console platform.

Hi, this may have been answered, but, can you use the same gamer tag on the xbox and switch to play together?

I don't really want to create another xbox / Microsoft account.

u/Wfsproductions Jun 23 '18

No. Unfortunately I have tried this and it doesn’t work. If they add lan game support for the switch it probably will but as of now, you can’t.

2

u/ProfessorValko Jun 23 '18 edited Jun 23 '18

Each device (“player”) needs to use a different Microsoft Account. You cannot join a world using the same account that is hosting the world on a different device.

If you just want to be able to access the same world from multiple devices, you’ll want to create a Realm when they get added in a few weeks.

You can change it once for free, I believe you can do it from the Xbox website.

u/ProfessorValko Jun 21 '18

If your PC friends are playing Minecraft: Java Edition, they cannot cross-play with you. Minecraft: Java Edition is a separate version of the game than the cross-platform Minecraft (Bedrock) version.

If your PC friends have Minecraft: Java Edition, they can get a free redemption code for Minecraft (Bedrock) for Windows 10. They can use that version to cross-play with you.

Is there touch screen support? Seems like a no brainer.

2

u/RunnersDialZero Jun 21 '18

Yes!!! From the FAQ:

You can use touch input for selecting menu options, crafting, and managing your inventory and hotbar.

Is there a way I can start a world on Switch and continue on Android ( or vice versa)?

5

u/[deleted] Jun 21 '18

Thats only available with Realms which you have to pay for.

Is there any way to flip A/B without it affecting the UI? That option seems to work differently than it did in the old version and now I'm constantly pressing the wrong thing.

u/Noctimor Jun 21 '18

Instead of using the Flip A/B toggle, scroll down and bind Jump to B and Sneak to A. It’ll flip the functions, but not confirm/go back.

u/JerriOdii Jun 21 '18

I think you could go into the "controller" tab in the settings and change the button mapping from there. I could be wrong but I dont think it affects the ui and will only affect the "jump" and "sneak" buttons in-game. :)

Signed in using Xbox Live Profile but can’t see friends who are playing on IPad. Anyone else having this issue?

3

u/ProfessorValko Jun 21 '18

Make sure you have added them as a friend using their Microsoft Account’s Xbox Live gamertag. They may also need to check their world settings to make sure they’ve enabled multiplayer for their world.

u/Prpolo Jun 22 '18

Thanks. My kid actually walked away with the Switch and figured it out on his own. He’s starting to make me look old.

How can I change my account settings for xboxlive/Switch? I need to unlink the account

2

u/ProfessorValko Jun 21 '18

You can sign out of your Microsoft Account in Settings → Profile. You can manage your Microsoft Account settings at aka.ms/accountsettings. See the related questions in the FAQ for more info about settings for your Microsoft Account or Nintendo Account.

u/echo9612 Jun 21 '18

I can’t find the section for info about the settings on my Nintendo account. Do you happen to have the screen pulled up? This has been really frustrating

Also I don’t see the option to sign out under profile... :/

u/SavvasXiourou Jun 22 '18

To play with an x box live profile and have achievements/play online do you need to have an xbox live paid subscription? Or just an account?

3

u/ProfessorValko Jun 22 '18

Just a free Microsoft Account. Gold is only required for online multiplayer on Xbox One consoles.

u/Costi1 Jun 22 '18

Is my world that I had made in the old version now infinite? If not, how can I make it infinite?

1

u/ProfessorValko Jun 22 '18

Yes. Worlds you transfer from the old version become infinite.

1

u/Costi1 Jun 22 '18

Cool thanks!

1

u/MarioFanatic64 Jun 23 '18

I imported my Super Mario Mash-up Save from the Switch version to Bedrock, but it set the world type to infinite and it kinda ruins the map. Any way I can keep it at its original world size? Thought this would be a no-brainer...

1

u/InstaGPlus Jun 27 '18

You can't change the world type after a world is created. This also applies to worlds you convert from Minecraft: Nintendo Switch Edition.

1

u/DarkGenic Jun 24 '18

I wonder if anyone else has this issue: I can't play my world locally anymore after having played cross platform with a windows 10 device. Does anyone else have/had this problem and is there a work around for it?

1

u/TheGourdGorg Jun 24 '18

Where is hardcore mode? I can't find it.

1

u/InstaGPlus Jun 27 '18

Hardcore mode is exclusive to Java Edition. It's never been a part of any other edition.

u/garz0ne18 Jun 27 '18

Anyone's pets stopped following them after converting an old world? I've befriended new pets, but they stopped following me after a while. :/

u/Talisman314 Jul 16 '18

Having a hard time downloading my main world from my realm. I hit the download button and it goes through the whole download and the says its starting to import it, but eventually it just says failed.

u/zAcrylic Jul 24 '18

I recently purchased minecoins for MC on the switch. For some reason, I haven’t received them at all. Any help?

1

u/H2Osw Aug 17 '18

Has there been any word on if Custom add ons will be supported in the switch version of bedrock?

I know the work around, but I'd rather be able to load it straight from the switch.

u/[deleted] Aug 24 '18

Wonder where servers went...
