Android Touchscreen Controls

Please update/fix the touchscreen D-Pad to be more like Vainglory's touchscreen D-Pad or like Arena of Valor's touchscreen D-Pad. The touchscreen D-Pad in Minecraft is horrible to be honest with you. First of all it should follow your thumb like other games, it should not be locked. Secondly, putting the crouch button in the middle of the D-Pad is a huge mistake since people accidently press it all the time. Yes the game is fun, but I'm hugely disapointed in the controls. How could the developers not know this...is this in beta still? Am I missing something here? I'll give this game a 5 star review once you update and fix the controls, especially the locked fixed D-Pad, it needs to be like other games.

    You should have put this in the review section, lol.

    The Pocket Edition has had this d-pad since about a third of the way through alpha, and I haven't seen many people complain about them. If anything, they're better than what they were before the patch that made them the way they are now. Also, you can swap the jump and sneak buttons, but if that doesn't satisfy you, all I can think of is asking the developers to make a custom UI menu. Since you seem so interested in mobile gaming as opposed to computer gaming, maybe you should just get a Bluetooth controller for your Android. They're not that expensive.
