Limit so mobile players can only face mobile players on servers (was: Crossplatform on Servers)

One of my favourite things about Minecraft is the servers
I used to play servers alot on Minecraft PE 1.1 especially mineplex
Ever since 1.2 ive found it alot more difficult to win on mini-games
until i realized that the other platforms have more advantages then mobile players.  this has led me to barely play servers or minecraft in general
of course mobile has some advantages especially with non split.

also the player count dropped on servers by alot not sure if this is why butn it could be

the pictures are a bunch if comments ive gathered from 1 video plus a twitter comment from a big known minecraft bedrock youtuber called eckosoldier and i hope ull atleast consider improving mobile

Advantadges

Windows 10 can jump with 100% perfect timing
Windows 10 can do faster and crazier bridges (i assume cause the block placing assist)
Windows 10 and xbox can aim and hit while moving their screen
Windows 10 can break blocks with bows, snowballs, eggs, potions etc.
Windows 10 can move their screen as fast as they want
Windows 10 can break blocks that instant break while having mining fatigue 255
Windows 10 and xbox can place blocks while moving their screen
Windows 10 basicaly has a built in auto clicker for placing blocks
Windows 10 and xbox can throw snowballs, eggs, pull out a bow etc. instantly
Windows 10 and xbox can break blocks slightly faster then mobile
Windows 10 and xbox can change their hotbar slot while moving their screen
Windows 10 can go in f5 without going in settings
Windows 10 can customize their keys to perform which actions
Windows 10 and xbox can shift way faster
Windows 10 can fist the air                                                                                  Windows 10 and xbox can throw items from the hud alot faster then mobile
and i bet theres alot more but this is what ive gathered

ideas: make it so mobile players can only face mobile players on servers (maybe a toggle platform thing in settings not sure if possible) or allow more multi tasking on mobile to do many actions at once (examples: change ur hotbar slot while holding ur screen, aiming and hitting at the same time etc..) or add buttons to perform actions liken a hit/mine/tap/throwitem etc... buttons.

    Windows 10 needed to have Bedrock Edition as it was important for PC users to cross play with others. This is one of the ways to maximize profit since PC hadn't been touched yet. You won't see Mac or Linux users get bedrock since Windows 10 is owned by Microsoft and it encourages players to get Windows instead of Macbooks or Linux devices. This is the same exact case as Fortnite which has cross play with PC and phones (IOS only at the moment) and for Fortnite to maximize sales they have to release it on mobile (pretty much any 3rd party developer will do this for most of the games if its doable). Think of Microsoft as a 3rd party company when they have it on non-microsoft devices such as the Nintendo Switch and Phones. Now for the fact you can't win any games with MCPE is FALSE because it is possible to win a couple of games under certain circumstances. But the majority of the time you will lose which is where this hate is coming from. Certain Servers (even the featured servers) have a system where damage is done differently on each device (Windows 10 being lowest, Consoles in Middle, and MCPE with highest damage). I actually have lost to a MCPE player before due to this system on Windows 10 but it rarely happens for me since I know how to play Java edition. There are also servers which are aimed towards Mobile Devices such as BrokenLens (Biggest server that isn't featured) and Nethergames. Certain games are nerfed on windows 10 players and buffed on MCPE devices. Personally i perform much better when its all MCPE players on my Android Device. The ONLY reason they can do this is because of the lack of being a featured server. Featured Servers have to be fair to all cross platform users because where will Windows 10, and Consoles play if its all geared towards MCPE for instance. They cannot Discriminate a certain platform for a featured server as Microsoft needs money. Like I said it is possible to win certain games with Android/IOS: All team based games are possible to win with android/ios because you are working with other players who might happen to be using Windows 10 or Console. You are doomed if its only MCPE players on ur team so get yourself a friend who has Windows 10/Console and play with them in a party in games like Cake Wars. Block Hunt is possible to win on ur Android/IOS. One in the Quiver is actually possible to win but under an extreme circumstance must the players be bad in the game. Trust me its doable Ive gotten a Monster Kill (7 kills in a row) before on that game. Gladitators is not possible if your opponent is smart with his Windows 10/Console. This is because MCPE requires u to trap ur opponent in a corner to win. Dragon escape is IMPOSSIBLE due to players having better jumping controls so I would avoid that game at all costs. Skywars, SG or any Solo PVP game on a featured server is impossible to win because of the cross play. Trust me you cannot win most of the time. I know Casual Games are great on the phone such as Prison so it would be worth getting a Prison pass on Lifeboat. The only other games I know where you cannot win with MCPE are TNT run and even that pay to win game Inpvp has called Space Race. This is because Parkour sucks with touchscreen controls. The only worry Consoles(controllers) have are very good Windows 10 players such as me using Keyboard and Mouse. Theres two solutions you can do in order to win more games: one use a controller for ur phone instead. However this will not work on most phones and some phones such as the Moto E4 Plus have Partial Controller Support even for Xbox 360/Xbox One controllers. The other solution would be to only play on BrokenLens and Nethergames who are friendly toward MCPE users. That's about it for this long post just needed to get some things out of the way.

    I can’t really figure out what your suggestion is.  What I mostly see is a statement that mobile players are at a disadvantage, listing the disadvantage, and proving that others agree with you.  But what do you propose that Mojang do to level the playing field?

    This is how I feel PVPing with a trackpad.....LOL

    But in all seriousness, ClayGoddessSari is right, and honestly, I would suspect that not much can be done. You're basically complaining that Windows 10 users have more powerful devices and more control options. That's not their fault. They have an objectively better device that is capable of doing more things. Also, some of your suggestions are patently absurd. Unless I am very much out of the loop, Windows 10 users do not have built in auto clicker or have the ability to insta-break blocks (unless they are in creative, in which case, so do you).

    So I would recommend trimming down your list to things that might actually be possible to add, like making it easier to go into F5 mode or punching the air. Make specific recommendations that would work across all devices. If you can't do that, I'm afraid nobody will take your feedback seriously.

    Edit: I noticed you added some recommendations, but it's not specific. Tell us exactly how you would be able to move the screen and hit at the same time. Also, just making MCPE-only servers probably isn't going to happen, that would defeat the whole purpose of the Better Together update.

    Timbo303  i dont rlly wanna win games i dont like i wanna play games i like which are mostly pvp games and win at those soooo............ and idk what u mean about different damage when i get hit by a w10 with a fist i usually take 0.5-1.5 dmg same when i hit him... and for example games like block hunt yes u can win but u still have a disadvantadge becuase w10 can jump faster then u which is more speed and i find dragon escape easy u just run jump take shortcuts simple af. why do u think running and jumping is HARD ON MCPE ive done 4.7(cuz on BE ur faster then JE) block jumps thx to a friend who taught me how to parkour. im second on tnt run leaderboards and i get on the space race leaderboard like everytime from 1-4th place and plus even if i had a $10,000 dollar pc id still use my ipadmini becuase i like the touch experience.

    u can buy a controller or keyboard for mobile and u can play less competive gamemodes and u hit people without even looking at them directily plus if u couldnt join win 10 and others the player count for both would drop making win 10 pointless and java the only way to play on pc

    What happens when a moble player uses a keyboard/mouse. In order for this to happen all the servers would have to make more lobbys just for mobile also if they did this xbox would start the same argument against pc. If this problem means that much to you Thare are plenty of bluethooth keyboards mouse's and controllers most new xbox controllers have bult in bluethooth built in

    I play Xbox and die to PE player all the time. Why because they seem to just need to tap where you are one screen (or they are just hacking.) and Xbox players have to aim. If your playing PVP like on skyblock a PE player can just a camp on their island and peacefully tap wherever you are on their island with out moving too much and probably hitting you from a farther distance then you can. Then of course they must move after your the only neighbor left and they die to Xbox players better at PVP in general. I don’t care though because I suck at PVP. I don’t think we should stop it because all these platforms make up the thousands that go on so by deleting cross play we are making the amount of players on line in the servers decrease.

    In my opinion this is inaccurate as computers/laptops have the same advantage if both players are in the same place

    I agree with this and when it comes to parties like on Fortnite it'll just go to the hardest server if one of the players in it play on that device.

    i Play on mobile and I use to play on pc but wen I went on movil it wus imposible to win a fighting game and the problem is that the pc players move and jumpe and hit much faster than Movil players a pc player wud go on the back of the movil player which makes it hard fore the movil player to hit so they have to slide the finger on the side but the pc player is not there and he’s still hitting him he turns around hardly and died it’s not just tapping it way harder than you think I’m i I use to play on pc and now I play on movil pc player have waaaaaaay more advantage

    I agree with this, there should be an option to disable cross-platform play and only play with your respective platform users, especially on servers.

    First thing I would like to correct: Win10 does not have any block placing assist unless you are talking about holding down the place button to build (which does not work when bridging). Bridging works the same on all platforms. An idea that a lot of people seem to not think about from what I've seen is the addition of new buttons, custom controls, and multi touch support for more than two fingers. Fortnite mobile has crossplay with PC and console players, for example, but if you have a good HUD layout and use at least 4 fingers to play (thumbs and pointers) you can compete decently. This could probably also be the case with MCPE if they did the same. The current PE controls are very good for casual on the go play, but when being put up against other platforms, it cannot keep up.

    Yeah, this is so broken. The ability to instantly take an item into your inventory is kinda OP as well as the spam clicking and overall benefits. Once the shift-click feature letterly killed me. I was playing survival games and I open a chest and a PC player to everything in the chest before me, and the next chest and the next, until all I had was a chicken. It's so annoying how fast you can click too as players can literally kill you in seconds, And speed bridge as that's why I spend more time on hive playing Deathrun. My friend tells me, just connect a controller to your phone. Well, I have an iPhone XR but the screen is small.  My family also owns only apple products, so if you're going to keep it this way, at least give windows 10 compatibility with macOS.

    I agree with this since I’ve played pc, console, and mobile versions of the game. I find it that mobile players are at a far disadvantage since pc and console players have more movement or control over their character than mobile players do. First off mobile players can’t aim and hit at the same time and they have no customizability to their controls like pc and console. Second you can only control your character with 2 fingers on the buttons unless you switch the sneak and jump buttons than you can jump and walk whilst looking. Third pc players can modify their came for saying autoclicker and for console players they can use a strike pack on their controller. Now lastly they should add a option to toggle on and off crossplay or add more buttons and ways to aim to counter pc and console players. What I mean by this is you can see other games like Call Of Duty Mobile or Pixel Gun 3D you have availability to move and resize buttons and they have more options to move aim and shoot. With this mcpe should do the same.

    also because mobile players accidentally hit chests and other people can hit you while you try to get out of the chest gui and that win10 players when they attack someone else and they accidentally hit the chest, they wouldn't be able to open it because they would have to use rmb (right mouse button). So there is a pvp disadvantage between win10 and mobile and i usually lose to a win10 because of this in pvp.

    I think they should do this but, if someone is console or pc and they wanna play with a mobile player they should be able to. I think they should make a setting for mobile players. “Cross platform gameplay/matchmaking”
