    Default Aranging objects on a Gui

    Basically im trying to get stuff aligned on a JPanel. I want everything to be on its own devidual line
    problem is idk. I was messing around with setBounds but that did seem to work so how would i go about doing this?

    heres my class:
    package main;
     
    import java.awt.Container;
    import java.awt.GridLayout;
    import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
    import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
     
    import javax.swing.JButton;
    import javax.swing.JFrame;
    import javax.swing.JLabel;
    import javax.swing.JMenu;
    import javax.swing.JMenuBar;
    import javax.swing.JPanel;
    import javax.swing.JTextField;
     
    public class Gui implements ActionListener {
     
    	private JFrame f = new JFrame("Simple Games");
     
    	private JPanel jp = new JPanel();
     
    	private JLabel title = new JLabel("Guess a Number between 1 and 10!");
    	private JTextField type = new JTextField("Type your number here!");
    	private JButton submit = new JButton("Submit");
     
    	private JMenuBar mb = new JMenuBar();
    	private JMenu muFile = new JMenu("File");
     
    	public Gui() {
     
    		f.setJMenuBar(mb);
    		f.add(jp);
     
    		jp.add(title);
    		jp.add(type);
    		jp.add(submit);
     
    		mb.add(muFile);
     
    	}
     
    	@Override
    	public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent arg0) {
    		// TODO Auto-generated method stub
     
    	}
     
    	public void launchFrame() {
    		Container pane = f.getContentPane();
    		pane.setLayout(new GridLayout (0,1));
    		f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    		f.setVisible(true);
    		f.setResizable(false);
    		f.setSize(420, 200);
    	}
     
    	/**
    	 * @param args
    	 */
    	public static void main(String[] args) {
    		Gui g = new Gui();
    		g.launchFrame();
    	}
     
    }

    Use a layout manager. See
    A Visual Guide to Layout Managers (The Java™ Tutorials > Creating a GUI With JFC/Swing > Laying Out Components Within a Container)
    And also note that layouts can be nested, for example one panel can have a certain layout while the panels that it contains another.
