Mobile Shield Implementation: Shield button and Sneak Shield

The option to add either a shield button to the digital gamepad and/or the ability to automatically shield when sneaking. Items can be sent to the offhand by selecting them with a long press. Console shielding works identically to PC

    I think the shield button should be to one side of the screen (maybe beside the D-pad or near the jump button) rather than in the center and above the hotbar. This would make combat simpler - no need to double tap the sneak button.

    Shields in bedrock are currently activated by sneaking or mounting. This should be kept, but right clicking or analogous actions should also activate shield as well. This way mobile players would be unaffected but Windows 10 players would be able to play like java as well.

    It would be really nice to remap what button you press to activate the shield in general, for both mobile and pc/console etc. Its so clunky on bedock!

    On pc it is east for dual wielding they have many keys they can do it but main problem is mobile
    A to be able to hold shild is not enough we must be able to hold another things to that's why i think swap jump and sneak option must be compalsary to everyone on phone do no need to double tab just a single tab to activate shild and single tab to place blocks and long press single tab to eat food
    Simple please mojang ad this and i also want spilt controls compalsary to everyone on mobile it gives us unfair advantage of touching everyone and because of that we will able to mojang will be able to apply sweeping edge problem solved

    If they added just on button they could've added duel wielding entirely a long time ago. Literally the only reason we don't have full functionality is because they couldn't figure out how to implement it entirely with mobile controls. Literally ONE BUTTON would fix that, and no other platform will have that issue.

    Yes. PLEASE. It could be the X button for consoles, since it is so close to A. B would be sneak. It would be so perfect please read this Microsoft.

    Maybe an option for right click to block or a bindable keybind.
