Examples
Landing page with navigation actions
Provide a subtitle, description, custom stats, and links.
landing-page-with-navigation-actions.tsx
import Hero3 from "@/components/ui/8bit/blocks/hero3";export function GameLandingHero() { return ( <Hero3 title="PIXEL QUEST" subtitle="A new adventure" description="Explore a world built for creators." stats={[ { label: "LEVELS", value: "24" }, { label: "PLAYERS", value: "1K+" }, ]} actions={[ { label: "Play now", href: "/play" }, { label: "View guide", href: "/guide", variant: "outline" }, ]} /> );}Interactive call to action
Use a button action with a click handler and add custom content after the actions.
interactive-call-to-action.tsx
import Hero3 from "@/components/ui/8bit/blocks/hero3";export function InteractiveHero() { return ( <Hero3 title="READY PLAYER ONE?" actions={[{ label: "Join the beta", onClick: () => console.log("Joined") }]} > <p className="mt-6">Available on desktop and mobile.</p> </Hero3> );}Title screen with blinking prompt
Omit actions to show the animated start prompt and use the built-in default stats.

PropTypeDefaultDescription
titlestring—Required heading displayed as the hero title.
subtitlestringundefinedOptional text displayed in a badge above the title.
descriptionstringundefinedOptional paragraph displayed below the title.
actionsArray<{ href?: string; label: string; onClick?: () => void; variant?: "default" | "destructive" | "ghost" | "outline" | "secondary" }>[]Optional action buttons. An action with a truthy href renders as a Next.js Link inside the button; otherwise it renders as a button and can use onClick. If empty, the hero shows a blinking “PRESS START” prompt.
statsArray<{ label: string; value: string }>Built-in stats when omitted or emptyOptional stat cards. If the array is omitted or empty, the component displays COMPONENTS 50+, GITHUB STARS 1.7K, and CONTRIBUTORS 100+.
childrenReactNodeundefinedOptional content rendered after the actions or blinking prompt, inside the centered hero content.
classNamestringundefinedOptional class name added to the outer section.
Accessibility
- The decorative scanline overlay is marked aria-hidden and does not receive pointer events.
- The title is rendered as an h1; provide a meaningful title and avoid using multiple instances as competing page-level headings.
- Action links and buttons display their label as their accessible name. Use concise labels that make each action clear.
- The blinking prompt changes opacity every 800 ms. It is not a control and does not expose an action; do not rely on it alone to communicate an available interaction.
- The component does not add reduced-motion handling for the blinking prompt.
