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!

    This new feature is great! thank you for hearing our request, but I hope the buttons can be edited and moved to make it easier for players to play, and also i hope there are new buttons features like f3,f5, etc, because it will definitely make players happy, and certainly make gameplay easier, that's my feedback on the new touch control, that's all thank you

    Option to remove the circle when interacting with blocks, currently you can touch the screen in creative and highlight a block there is no circle however when you break a block the circle appears, I would love an option to disable circle completely.

    I created this post above in comparison to PS4&PC

    Attack/place (interact) buttons (and thier toggleable joysticks)on mobile equivalent to trigger and right joystick actions at the same time on PS4 and right and left click with mouse movement on PC( this is for server goers who play PvP and see just how much better PC players are against them because they can multitask (jump and adjust crosshair on them while attacking, all at the same time)
    Second joystick (look around) equivalent to LEARN on p4 and mouse on PC
    Jump(and it's joystick) equivalent to space bar and mouse action of jumping and looking around or determining in which direction players jump and joystick and X on ps4
    Perspective (camera icon) on mobile is equivalent to f5 on PC and the top button on dpad on PS4
    Drop item (double tap item in hotbar for.popup button) equivalent to Q on PC and down button on dpad on PS4
    It goes on and this is how we can create some semblance of parity between the different devices and help us mobile players adjust to multtasking ability of players on other devices
    Plus
    These buttons (attack, jump and place) will.look like normal buttons compared to the right joystick and will only become a smaller version of joysticks when you press and hold, which willmove the camera around in whatever direction you pull them while doing actions)
    As for sneak
    It's intergrated into the left joystick
    Tap joystick to quicksneak(shield)
    Tap and hold to lock sneak in
    Tap again to unsneak

    I think it would be awesome to have it so you could either hold down or toggle the jump button to continually jump.

    I think the jump button is too close, or add a custom key

    Please add an option to enable back to old controls if the new one is the default in 1.19. I like the idea of different controls such as a joystick but I'm used to the old controls

    These new buttons are awsome! I'm really enjoying them! But I think the Jump, Sneak, Sprint,Break/Attack and Build/intract mustn't be on the middle right. They must be on the bottom right. And also it would be awsome if you add the F1 and F5 buttons to the buttons. It's so hard doing it in settings

    Add more customization and button placement capabilities so it could feel like an actual mobile game, much like the button placement and size customization in CODM and other mobile games

    Holding the jump button should make the player jump constantly like how it would on windows 10 plus it'll be easier since you don't have to time your jump everytime to run faster ;)

    Crosshair:

    Like: Easier to shoot while using bows, crossbows and tridents, easier to fly with an elytra, easier to interact with mobs without accidentally punching them, and faster to break blocks and eat instead of having to hold.

    Dislike: Fighting in PvE and PvP is even more clumsy than before, its extremely hard to aim rapidly while moving to hit, so you have to rely completely on your shield. It's almost impossible to land critical hits on a player or hostile mob since you have to use your index to jump and thumb to attack.

    Building: while more precise, became slower, mainly when towering or bridging, since every time you have to slightly change the angle that you are aiming you have to not only completely stop placing blocks but you have to also put your finger away from the button.

    Recommendations: Make it so that, if you have a block in your hand, you can hold the Interact button to keep placing it (like holding right-click in Java).

    Allow for manual toggle of Jumping to avoid having to keep pressing it while sprint-jumping and towering.

    Bugs: When trying to aim with one finger and press the attack or interaction button with another, your character suddenly starts looking down.

    Also, sometimes the crouch gets pressed while drawing my finger over the screen and not wanting to press it.

    I would like everything that has a joystick to be square so that it gives it a more minecraft touch 😁

    about the new controls, I think the sensitivity is too low and lacks customization. In addition, it could be possible to activate a separate button for the shield

    Add an option to customize the layout: the location, size and opacity of the buttons separately.

    I suggest that the developer should add a feature called gyroscope.It makes the PVP in mobile users more easily they can aim fast if their using a crosshair.If same thing with touch control they can aim faster.This feature is can be turned on or turned off in the settings menu,it depends on the player.This feature will change how the combat on bedrock platform.Hope this one will be ingame in the future

    pls make the buttons more modular like other mobile games like, brawl starts, player unknown battlegrounds and a whole bunch of other games. so we can have an 3rd person button on all 3 controls or a command shortcut and make it so when you hold the jump button down you keep jumping like on keyboard and mouse and controller

    Hello team,
    Thanks for updating the touch controls for mobile players. But there's something you guys should do

    1. As we hold the right click button it does the right click function as it is supposed to do on mouse, but as we hold the jump button it should also jump as it jumps continuously till we hold the spacebar on Pc

    2. You should also introduce another joystick for aim as on controller, since the introduction of extra buttons theres less space to aim so u should add another joystick for aim on bottom right.

    3. You guys should add F5 and Q button to mobile devices

    4. MOST IMPORTANT: Players should be allowed to move the controls as they want so that we can use different techniques like 3 finger claw or 4 finger claw or even 5 if on bigger devices. Also to change the size of each button and opacity of it.

    Hope the team will consider this and implement it in game.

    Thanks
    ~ACEWheelTheNoob
