How to Get Rid of Tips in Minecraft
Learn practical, edition-aware steps to disable on-screen tips in Minecraft. This guide covers Java and Bedrock editions, UI toggles, and alternatives like UI packs or mods, with actionable steps and troubleshooting tips.
To get rid of tips on Minecraft, open the game’s Settings and locate the Tips or Tutorials option, then turn it off. This generally hides on-screen hints in both Java and Bedrock editions, though exact menu labels can differ by version. If you don’t see a toggle, try resetting UI settings or loading a minimal UI pack. For ongoing clarity, consult Craft Guide’s practical guides.
Understanding what tips refer to in Minecraft
In Minecraft, tips are the on-screen prompts that appear to help new players learn the basics, explain UI controls, and offer guidance on common tasks like crafting, mining, and combat. The exact wording and frequency of tips change across editions and versions, so a tip you see in Java Edition might not appear in Bedrock Edition. According to Craft Guide, many players prefer the ability to toggle these cues off to reduce UI clutter and focus on exploration, building, and redstone experiments. If tips are distracting, disabling them can create a calmer playing experience without impacting core gameplay. It’s also worth noting that turning off tips may influence first-time player tutorials, so consider re-enabling them temporarily when teaching someone new.
Key takeaway: understand which tips you want to hide and why, since the impact can vary by edition and by whether you’re playing solo or with others.
