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 really like the new Touch interaction controls
    Its great to see you reworking the controls
    Though I thought I might have some suggestions:

    - Add the ability to customize button location/layout.
    This is more a quality of life feature.

    - Add optional auto jump toggle button to interaction controls
    (This would greatly facilitate the movement for users)
    Example: toggle auto jump On to climb mountains toggle Off for precition building

    Both features would be greatly appreciated! Thanks ❤️

    Everyone was talking about this in the Minecraft Community.

    Is there possible for the Touch Control a Bonus Botton for drop items one by one? Like from Java. Ye i do agree with that, if that features would be added. It's better than holding it or opening from ur inventory to give something fo someone or anyone to players some items.

    Well i mean some Java Parity is already on Bedrock. So this feature would be appreciated from mobile Users or Tablet Users. It would be easy for us to use tho.

    I often use split controls on my Windows 2in1 laptop.

    The positions of the buttons are an improvement but it should be customisable. 

    I didn't like how sprinting with the joystick works. Enabling sprint for movement didn't seem to have any effect. Just double-tapping forward was easy. I don't like the action buttons in the 'crosshair' model - it's not a good default.

    Going into the classic model and enabling split controls (which also affects the legacy touch control scheme) and going back to touch controls had a weird result: crosshair controls without action buttons.

    The separation of interaction models doesn't make sense to me.

    Being on a laptop I decided to test my usual: touchscreen to pan camera, attack and use; and keyboard to move. Continuous jumping is great!!

    I hope you test all input types on all platforms. For instance you can use a mouse and keyboard on a PlayStation and you can use a touchscreen on Chrome OS.

    When I first installed Preview, I saw some annoying defaults. Namely screen animations. The new Create New World interface is frankly terrible; and design-wise has regressed, looking much less Minecrafty. I couldn't even go back to the old one! The post linked in-game no longer accepts comments so I cannot expand on why as it's off-topic.

    This shows that Mojang is willing to improve Bedrock. I hope that you will address Stampy's concerns with the UI for controllers. Many other people have expressed their concerns too. Please listen to us. I hope that this initiative extends to not only controllers but also to mixed input scenarios like mine, and Java Edition.

    I hope that Mojang will accept parity requests and bugs on MoJira again, not close real issues and also give reasons for why genuine issues are closed.

    It would be nice to be able to change the size and position of the joystick separate from other controls. The ability to mix and match different control schemes (i.e use the old d-pad with new jump/crouch or even have both action buttons w/ crosshair and touch controls active at once) would be great as well. In general, any extra customization with the controls would help out a lot since all players are different.

    It's great to see these changes and since you're working on new buttons and a user interface I suggest adding a button at the crafting table "craft all" that makes it easier for you to transfer the resources you have. For example, you have 64 oak log that you want to convert all to oak wood. Instead of continuous pressure, you press the "craft all" button and it will convert all of it to facilitate the process (With just one click)

    It would be very great if we can move the buttons wherever we want. It will make the game easier and more fun to play

    I don't know if anyone else has already said this, but the 8-directional joystick option would be great. And, if it is not possible to modify the individual position of each button, at least make the jump and crouch buttons placeable above the joystick.

    I suggest adding a button to discard items.At the same time, an operation of changing the key position is added.
