Updated Touch Controls Feedback [Bedrock Beta]

Hello everyone!   
 
We heard your long-awaited desire for the controls to be updated and now, we are pleased to introduce to you two new WIP controller Interaction Models: 
 
Touch - Like the existing, 'Classic' control scheme on mobile, but with a new touch joystick and updated buttons for jumping, crouching, and sprinting. 

Crosshair - Like Touch, except it feels more like a console experience, allowing players to interact with the world at the point of the crosshair in the middle using action buttons for placement and interaction. 

Please play around with the new Touch and Crosshair controls, including the added settings:  
 
 - Static Joystick - Keeps the Joystick in the same place rather than appearing where your left-thumb touches. 

- Show Action Buttons (Crosshair only) - When off, the (left click / right click) action buttons are removed.  Screen taps function like Touch, except at the point of the crosshair. 

- Sprint on Movement - The sprint button is removed.  Maximum movement on the left thumbstick triggers sprint. 

The team prepared a few short questions and we would love your feedback to help us improve the controls: 

  • What do you like and not like about the new 'Crosshair' control Interaction Model in Creative, Survival, and Server play? 
  • What do you like and not like about the new 'Touch' control Interaction Model in Creative, Survival, and Server play? 
  • How did the controls feel on Touch?  On Crosshair? 

Thank you all for your help guiding the future of Minecraft!

    I have my jump and crouch swapped atm and I love it, with the new controls it feels so convoluted that I can’t simply jump while moving around and be crouching at the same time or breaking blocks. The joystick is essentially taking away abilities which are being replaced by more and more useless butons which makes no sense to me. Please keep the current classic setup and my ability to have jump on the left with my movement controls. Thanks

    Mostly everything is great, but you can’t move when in boats

    Jump button is to high, make the jump button in the bottom or at least let player change the control

    Overall, the new controls are excellent. However, one problem I had was that the sprinting button doesn’t deactivate when you stop moving. When I try to move again I sometime tap the sprint button again, and since it is already activated I’d stop sprinting. On all other additions you have to deactivate your sprint somehow, so this should be no different.

    Another issue I have is that the orientation of the controls in the crosshair option is extremely bad. The buttons could be arrange so that the breaking and placing buttons are next to each other—as well as the jump and crouch buttons.

    The break and place buttons are on different heights on the y axis which is extremely unhelpful.

    And, of course, make the joystick and breaking animation on the touch controls SQUARE.

    When you hold on the screen, a circle should never appear as that is illegal.

    Reducing the thumb stick opacity to zero does my actually reduce it to zero.

    Make it so that holding down the attack button will attack whatever is in front of us so we don't have to continously stop attacking in order to keep looking at our target. Severe disadvantage atm. But if you could add a way to hit while turn the screen, could be a gane CHANGER.😊

    I personally like the controls they are better than before but why are they in such a awkward spot in the middle of the screen, also I get like 5 to 12 fps when in the beta please optimise the beta so I could mess around with the controls.

    The new controls are stunning but both aiming and using action simultaneously is pretty hard because of the button placement. I would love if the final product of the new touch controls would be able to change the button positions on the player's preferences like what you see on mobile fps game and It would be pretty delightful if shortcuts like the f5 button on pc would be also added on the new touch controls.

    Would be convenient if the dash/sprint toggle activated when you drag your joystick upwards into a certain location. Also you can modify how long for you to start sprinting so you dont have to press those 2 things at the same time, and definitely ability to move buttons and changing the size of each buttons. Overall, I love this new controls and I would love to see these new features being added to the game as fast but not too fast considering we need to look at it a bit more so when it got released, the community will definitely happy if these features are perfect/well-made done. Thanks Mojang!

    The new controls were made for 2 fingers to play with, you guys need to know that we can play with 3 or 4 fingers nowadays on mobile games.
    If you guys don't want a movable button then at least place buttons that are only for there, and we can put what button we want with it.

    I can play with 4 fingers on mobile games, for me, the convenient Minecraft new controls will be: top right for interaction button, jump and sneak button between and below the interaction, top left for attack button.
    Not to the corner, just 20% away from the left and right corner.

    Every one of us has a different style on where we put every button for us to play comfortable. That's why a customizable layout is a must for mobile users...
    You guys should ask mobile users for opinions too, I just have a feeling you guys didn't hire someone who plays first-person mobile games.
    Because the new controls were made for 2 fingers, we already adopted 3-4 fingers play, because we don't have any choice or get destroyed by players who use more fingers.

    I am very used to the old design, so changing the ui is a bit odd feeling. The new ui joystick could be good for allowing smooth direction change and quick direction change, but it’s also hard to go in a straight line forwards. I would prefer a static joystick where the whole screen is touchable because I try to do actions (destroying blocks, placing blocks, etc) on both sides of the screen. So if the joystick always went to my finger on the left portion on my screen, it wouldn’t work well for how I play. The sprint on movement is nice though, cause with the new joystick it allows long distance sprinting, rather than always needing to tap a button. Crosshair isn’t preferable to me because I usually use the whole screen to do things. All in all, the ui change could help with smooth movement, but I think the action buttons wouldn’t help me. Another thing is that if you change the ui to this new version, it would be nice to have the old ui option available.

    In my opinion touch controls biggest problem is that Moving your camera while attacking is not possible unless you play claw but it has a high learning curve so people who try to get into PvP get destroyed by mouse and keyboard, controller or they don't have time to learn claw or they are just intimidated by it so they quit pvp all together
    so Moving your camera while attacking or doing an action at the same time with one finger could get more people into PvP while getting more people into servers.

    Although the controls  are good it still needs a lot of improvement. It should offer customisable controls(we should be able to move the buttons anywhere on the screen as per our wish). It should also have important buttons such as toggle perspective and some of the important java shortcuts.

    It can also have better looking UI for controls. After these changes it will become the most perfect layout ever.

    Было бы не плохо естли вы совместили два старых режима управления, система боёв была бы уедобней касанием к мобам а добыча разделнёнными элементами управления

    The new touch control are great it makes it easier to play but can you guys put like a button where you can put certain button and like where you can move the buttons to where ever you want?

    i think the new controls suck because they seem to have the same quality on some fps game like COD and i saw somebody saying that it's an improvement but i think that if you are not good enough at PvP you can't blame the controls because it's your fault (it's a reply to a comment that i saw before writing this feedback) . I've been playing minecraft PE for 2 years and i know that nobody can become a pro in 2 months you have to practice.
