Bring back the old Minecraft D-pad controls

Personally I find the game unplayable on mobile devices now that the D-pad has changed… I can’t seem to position it correctly, and the spaces between the buttons make it extremely difficult to navigate. In my opinion, this was a perfect example of trying to fix something that wasn’t broken… it looks fine to have them matching the other buttons, but changing their functionality was not necessary… I really really hope they change it back, or at least give the option to change it back, because this was really one of my favourite games, and it frustrates me that I can’t play it anymore. I have seen many many posts about this, but people don’t all vote together which is why it is not being addressed… but rest assured nobody would be upset to see it go back to what it was. This is my pitch, please change it back, thank you!

    I agree, there should be an option to use the new ones or the classic one

    *slaps own face* if you delete the game and sign back in and create a world you can change your D-pad

    You don't need to you can go to any world or server and you tap setting then you tap touch controls then you see a button that says change control mode when you click on it you can choose between 3 options including the D-pad with touch controls. You don't even have to delete the game and sign back in like a other user said.

    You still cant change the spacing of each individual button though. It makes it for rickety controls that make the game unstable

    To comments saying to go into the settings to change. This is the only d-pad available and there is no option for the old one. Resizing also doesn't help due to the shift out. It also doesn't fit the right side control change.
