3.2 Layout Optimization

Standard Minecraft UIs can feel cluttered, particularly on mobile devices. VDX-DUI usually optimizes the layout by:

• Compact Inventory: Reducing empty space to show more player inventory slots simultaneously.
• Creative Menu Tweaks: Improving the search function and tab visibility in Creative Mode.
• Hud Improvements: Modifying the hotbar and health/hunger bars for a sleeker look.

Prerequisites

• Minecraft Bedrock Edition (version 1.20.5 or higher recommended—check the pack’s manifest for exact compatibility).
• A file manager (on mobile) or standard Windows Explorer.
• Experimental Features: Some DUI packs require "Holiday Creator Features" to be enabled in your world settings.

Based on user reports and documentation from VDX forums, this version offers:

1. FPS-Friendly HUD : A transparent, minimalist health and hunger bar that hides when not in combat.
2. Customizable Hotbar : Allows players to resize, reposition, and add a cooldown timer to the hotbar.
3. Better Inventory Management : Adds a "sort inventory" button and highlights unenchanted tools.
4. Crosshair Enhancements : A dynamic crosshair that changes color when pointing at hostile mobs.
5. Low-Resource Mode : Disables unnecessary background animations to boost FPS on low-end devices.
