Deadzone slider on console

The deadzone in current minecraft is way to high and its hard to precisely choose what you want to do with menus and blocks and what not. This could be done by adding a slider in the controls menu of the pause screen. This is really a QoL change so I don't see a reason not to add this

    Because Minecraft isn't taking advantage of Controller. Keyboard+Mouse is given way more abilities that Controller can do as well, (Such as assigning a Hotbar Slot to a button on Controller, most Keyboard+Mouse Players don't really even use 1-9 for these, xD).

    For so long I wondered why the game seemed like it was lagging and I never considered the deadzone to be the source of the problem. Now with ps4's bedrock release I got to see a near 0 deadzone and I'm left wondering why you can't change the deadzone or at least default it to 5. 100% needed because not every player has a keyboard and mouse just for their xbox. Just saying I find it really dumb that the xbox version (something owned by microsoft) is worse than the ps4 ver.

    Can we please get this? Aiming on Minecraft is impossible after playing other games

    You aren't wrong. I have controller drift on my right analog stick, making me look down slowly on certain occasions, and it would be nice for deadzone settings to be added, just like in Minecraft dungeons.

    I absolutely agree,that there should be a control stick deadzone slider for the three consoles and mobile controllers and controllers on pc.

    it feels like. I barely touch the control stick and it moves,quite a bit. Too sensitive.

    I feel like if my controller gets degraded over time like all controilers do at some point without the deadzone slider it would be impossible to play minecraft at that point where my control sticks drift due to age. 

    I appreciate it,for anyone who took the time to read this,thank you. Hope this gets resolved soon.

    I agree fully with the OP.

    The deadzone is gigantic. Aiming with bows or placing certain items literally hurts my thumb.

    Would make a huge difference in my experience and is super simple to do. Obviously there are already values put in there so just give us the option to adjust it like so many other games do.

    I would propose to rename this entry in Controller Joystick Deadzones Settings. Also the right stick starts to react at around 25%-30% input on Xbox controller (Xbox) instead of like 5%-10% that is usual in other games. It makes it really unplayable to me.

    There might be a chance of a change finally in the newest update, I recently played the preview edition of the game and it feels a lot smoother. Although it could only be a feature of that specific version of Minecraft.

    These sorts of small issues are small fixes but big general QOL problems. Hope this issue gets noticed despite it being such a small problem

    It was a incredibly large issue for me, especially if you want to play a slightly higher sense

    I'm also waiting for this feature. The deadzone is too high for me to control camera precisely.
