User blog:ISharkyShark/My Opinion: New Creative Inventory and Pocket Edition Recipe Book

Hello Everybody! I have not done one of these in a while. This "My Opinion" will be about the "new and improved" creative inventory for MCPE and the MCPE version of the Recipe Book.

Creative Inventory

I do not like it, and for a couple reasons. One, everything is out of place. I have grew up with MCPE since 0.13.0, and it is now 1.1.5. I know exactly where everything is, down to the last block. Even in large updates that introduce over 80 new blocks and items (i.e Update 1.1), I still know where the current, older stuff is. Update 1.2 will shake the foundations of my understanding of the creative inventory to its core. I will have to relearn where everything is (it took me until 0.15.0 to understand where everything was). Now, there might be a search button, but this leads to my second reason. It look super messy, and hard to understand. Mojang's idea to reduce the creative inventory by using tabs was a bad idea, in my opinion. Experienced players will have no clue what is in which tab. Also, always using the search feature can get very annoying (I would know. I use PC UI), espesially to Pocket UI users. The lastreason is that the PC UI is missing the point. The PC UI is supposed to be what every UI looks like on the Java edition of Minecraft. By making so that everything is the same as that Pocket UI, just looking slightly different, what is the point of having a PC UI option anyway?!

MCPE Recipe Book

The Recipe Book in MCPE is pretty much exactly the same as the Java edition Recipe Book, and I like it all around. Except for one thing: There is no way to toggle the Recipe Book. On Java, there is a button with a Knowledge Book inside of it, representing a way of being able to toggle the Recipe Book. On Pocket Edition, however, this button is non-exsistent, meaning that when ever you open your inventory in Survival, the Recipe Book is always on, discouraging classic crafters, like me, to manually craft. If it is toggle-able, then I can make a better choice on whether I want to manually craft, or automatically craft if I am lazy :P
