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!

    They suck. Personally i think movement controls are ok but the UI is god damn atrocious.

    1. Grabbing items from furnaces, smokers etc is now much more annoying. Back then you would select all the items available in the furnace and bring them into your inventory but now it does it one by one when you tap it which is a completely unnecessary and useless feature. Also it is impossible to refuel or place more items in the furnace after you have collected the item unless you close the menu which is a pain.

    2. Crafting is now more annoying. Back then you could just hold to craft quickly instead of tapping twice quickly (you have to be in your inventory menu as well to actually do this). Now if I want to craft say, 16 oak planks, back then i would just tap quickly four times but now i have to slowly tap 4 times as if i tapped any faster it would just craft a whole stack. Overall it’s just a lot slower and a lot more annoying.

    3. Grabbing items from the creative menu and disposing of them is far more difficult now. For one, putting items from the creative menu into your inventory is now impossible because the game doesn’t let you select an item from the menu and then putting it into your inventory anymore. Now you have to first clear a slot of your hotbar and then take the item. Why?

    All of this could simply be resolved by just giving players the option to use the old UI gimmicks. This update was the most useless POS ever. It didn’t fix any of the issues with the old controls.

    Why does it force you to have to click the "let's go" prompt every time you play? It's annoying and it makes it basically impossible to play on my monitor now.

    I really enjoyed the updated game controls. It was something I had been looking forward to for years. Unfortunately, I feel this update came incomplete. There is still no F5 button in the game; when I press the jump button, I end up accidentally looking at the potion effects; when I'm in creative I can't copy blocks, just like in java; the interaction button with mobs that is above the inventory is still very small, being difficult to click

    Now that I am experienced with the new controls, they are pretty great. However, one major problem with the new controls is that you cannot break blocks with a sword, which is needed for breaking webs. 

    I had an issue where the fireworks and the elytra was too slow, but increasing the button size to 73 corrects this.

    Also fireworks do not work in the off-hand while wearing an elytra with these new buttons. It should work by pressing the down arrow button like using a shield. This would allow players to still be able to use ranged weapons while flying around with fireworks in their off-hand.

    These controls would also make a great way for duel weapons. Having a pickaxe that you can use in your other hand would be cool. Imagine mining with two pickaxes to double the mining speed. Having a button which can change your viewpoint would also be useful. I personally want one where I could quickly see behind me, then switch back, as this would be great for battles. This new control method could also allow players to add new buttons for the tools and items such as a sweep attack for the sword and sword blocking.
