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!

    O controle novo são bons. mas poderia ser um pouco mais customizável, como colocar os botões onde quiser na tela e os botões de mira poderiam muda de acordo com o item que está segurando ou usando. Se você estiver trocando com um aldeão o botão mostrasse um esmeralda em vez de uma mira.

    the joystick when you go down two taps in the center of it could jump, just like the jump button this would help in some aspects of gameplay

    the break button and place button, from Crosshair mode, turn into a small joystick when you touch and hold them, to help move the camera

    the joystick could have 8 sockets in each direction, so when you hold one of those sockets you walk in a straight line

    could have in touch settings a sprint toggle button for when you run and stop, the button keeps toggling because you run more than you walk in the game

    Keep the dpad as it is but add the two action buttons meant to simulate mouse clicks. The joystick is a bad control option for MCPE because it makes the controls too one-sided. Why change whats worked for over 8 years. If it aint broke, don’t fix it, as they say.

    At the very minimum, you have to give us customization of the size of each button as well as their location. If you could swap between a dpad and joystick would be the best thing you could do. The current locations are poorly placed and not comfortable. Its like you’re trying to mimic a 3d controller to a 2d screen. That doesn’t work and isn’t working. For the customization, look at Pixel Gun 3D and how you can edit the controls there.

    Even though you cant fix some bad bugs in the game, at least get this right. Please 🥺

    Hi there!

    For the past few months, my team has been working on updating the mobile touch controls for iOS and Android, and today you can check them out! To try them out, go to Settings > Touch > Enable New Touch Control Schemes, and then please leave us feedback here!

    Suggestions:
    Create only 2 button shapes, the new one (crosshair with the option to activate the break and place block buttons) and the old button (the classic Minecraft buttons), plus both options

    Es un gran avance desde el control de cruceta, Haora los controles son mas intuitivos lo que no me gusta es que tape tanto la pantalla, ¿pondrían hacer que se pudieran modificar la Posición de los controles?

    I think the new touch control scheme is great. But as someone who has played this game for 4 years, I still prefer arrows rather than joystick. Currently you can only access the new buttons with the joystick control scheme, so I wonder if those new buttons can be applied to the old controls model

    Make the actions bottons(sprint,jump and shift) stay in the low right because will more easy to the player play with the new bottons, in the crosshair remove the bottons of atack and use, they are unecessary, and in the creative when the player click twice in the fly down botton, enter in the shift

    Hola, eh probado la nueva beta y la verdad se me hace muy inivadora la interfaz nueva, pero lo que no me terminó de convencer fueron los botones nuevos, son buenos pero eran más eficientes los controles clásicos, espero y haiga una opción para cambiar entre los controles nuevos y los clásicos, gracias por esforzarse en traer nuevo contenido a esta comunidad

    업데이트를 한것은 좋으나 블럭을 크리에이티브로 부수는데 딜레이가 생겼습니다.
    이것은 수정이 필요합니다.

    Ask for a key, and you can change the key position, which will make it better for some people who have used the original key position for a long time.

    I'll start with this is my first "joystick " experience. The joystick itself is great. It is intuitive and fluid in game play. The other side of the controls however, have me wanting to pull my hair out. I have difficulty interacting with villagers without accidentally boxing them in the nose. Swimming is also an issue. I found a sunken ship. It now takes two hands to swim. How am I supposed to fight off the drowned at the same time? This is a problem with both of the joystick options. I don't mind the idea of change but please see to these issues when making them.

    (By the way...I do realize that the accidental villager abuse might be because of user error. Like I said, I have never used this type of controller before.)

    Eu testei os novos controles, sinceramente eu gostei de ambos, mas vejo que a tela trava enquanto eu quebro algum bloco enquanto a mexo, uma bela adição seria mover de lugar os botões para onde eu desejar e um botão extra para podermos defender assim como em versões de Pc
