Diablo was doing that long before Minecraft came along.
Comment on Some examples of video games with an UI layout ripped off of another game?

A lot of survival games have ripped off the Minecraft-a-bunch-of-random-items-in-boxes-at-the-bottom-of-the-HUD.
Raft and Rust, for example.

Because Sierra games were doing it in the 1980s?

Hotbars have been around long before Minecraft

Let’s see, I acknowledged that fact when someone else said it 21 hours ago. Now we’re up to three people informing me. Keep up.

Well I just don’t think that many survival games did that to copy Minecraft. If anything they were probably more influenced by DayZ which also had a hotbar as a Arma mod

You mean a hotbar? Minecraft didn’t come up with that.

Every MMO since the beginning of time (and frankly minecraft is weird for being a 10 button hotbar rather than a 12)

I think one of the point and click Sierra games came up with the hotbar or at least that’s where I saw it.

But that could still be where most games copied it from.
