As a mobile player, i have mixed feelings for this. What I’m happy about is that I can bridge without fear now. What I don’t like, is that there is so much going on in the right side it may get annoying.

[@leadharsh0616]

Well it's feedback! Send this to a dev (preferably on feedback site) and they'll definitely consider it. customisable controls would probably be the best option so we can put them wherever we want. I also think it's true especially because put jump in center of the walking controls as you can just brush over it and jump while walking. But now you have to strech your thumb. Moreover you have to use both the index and thumb if you want to build up for example on crosshair mode.

As a general mobile player I’m excited to see the controls be updated, I’ve played since around 2016 so I’m super used to the classic split controls. I really do agree with you points on making it more customisable as currently they do look quite awkward and uncomfortable to use but in the long run I feel like this could be a good update if they pull it off correctly.

[@PrestigePlayz]

Honestly, they should still have a option to keep the old controls as some of us mobile players that are on a other level of PvP will have a hard time to get used to. I myself find the old controls to be alright already and I especially like the touch controls where you can hit without looking directly at someone. But I do gotta say I like the new button where right-click is a completely separate button but then it'll just too many buttons to deal with. They should add a F1 and F5 button as well at around the same place as the pause and chat button.

Much easier to move with this controls especially the joystick + auto sprint settings will definitely help you to move around quickly than before. This setting is very fun to use for bridging aswell! Altho I can't really say that this setting is good for pvp, I tried it out myself and it's really hard to aim with this control settings. Or maybe I'm just not used to it, I also expected that you can aim or move your screen while holding the attack button but it didn't work. And the sensitivity is not normal, so for PVP I recommend the old touch control settings. Edit: The controls are not that great looking, the joystick is so pixelated but atleast they're doing some changes for mcpe :)

Just to add to my comments in the video as I’ve had some more time to test it: A lot of mobile players will like this as it’s more user friendly and better for not only combat, but traversing. On top of that, sweaty mobile players who use claw and such will most likely have a better experience. As someone who used to play mobile shooters with claw, this is 100% better. I agree that the controls should be moveable as well, Fortnite mobile for example actually has good mobile button mechanics and makes your customizable placement for the buttons user friendly and easy to use. Something like that would be extremely beneficial for Pocket Edition. Anyways, great video as always real PotatoPie25.

I've tried to play with this new controls since yesterday.At first I thought the new controls is complex when doing it at pvp but when I got used to it, It's feels like I'm using a controller/ keyboard to play. It's easier to spam the hits and place blocks.They also made it easy to crouch because the made the crouch button only one tap to activate. I suggest playing it with the new buttons off and try configuring some settings.Hiding the analog and not making it static helps a lot.You can also aim while tapping because the joystick is clickable.

It would be very nice if the control customization were like those in mobile fps shooter games like PUBG.

Personally I'm not fond of these controls but if there's and option that allows us to switch from the original version to the new one then I'm all for that

[@bluetheraze222]

My problem with the pocket edition controls is that in pc, you can move your camera while hitting/interacting with blocks, but on pocket edition, you can only do one thing, if you are moving your camera, you can't hit/interact with blocks and if you are hitting/interacting with blocks, you can't move your camera and this makes it hard to play pvp games.

[@Mootiss]

Honestly this is good for PVP I played on ipad like 3 months ago and it was really frustrating not being able to strafe and combo as easily as controller players and pc players.

[@TotalFooties]

Honestly it's super nice that mojang finally updates the touch controls and now mobile players don't key mapper to bridge that simply isn't possible for old mobile controls

[@jadoo258]

I guess I'll give my take on this; I've been playing on mobile for almost 9 years, and I think that the new controls are leagues better than the current ones. It might've taken a while to get accustomed to it because of old habits, but when I figured things out, everything felt so much easier. The moment I knew how to jump bridge with the beta controls, I got mad because a pc or controller player takes this mechanic for granted due to its simplicity. I'm definitely grateful for this preview, but the new controls are certainly not ergonomic. I've been having the same issue of trying to find the best grip to hit fast with good aim, and I still haven't come up a comfortable style. I'm sure that the solution to this would be to allow more modularity to the controls. Give the user the ability to change the size of individual buttons, let them use the d-pad with the new buttons, add a hybrid option between split controls and non-split, heck, make the jump button act like a pc or controller jump button. I definitely have many thoughts and ideas for the new controls, and I wish that Mojang takes their time perfecting these new controls, so that there can finally be some sort of parity between all play-styles.

[@HwnedYou]

I’ve been playing on a mobile device since the release of MCPE. This is a great change and would definitely give mobile players a chance in pvp. Not that there aren’t good mobile players that are way too good, but with this mobile players can play just like pc or console.

The left side of the screen should've been as is. I preferred the WASD controls of minecraft pe tbh and the crouch/jump button on mid was saving space, and many ppl will need to spend more time getting used to the new controls.

Since, the player will use it sometimes). The Player can use claw (mean using up four fingers while playing) for efficient use of button. Thanku for reading 😅😃

I personally think the pvp and bridging will be improved with the new controls (it's bonus if there is a customization option). Although for building I believe the old layout was easier to use. I don't usually use split controls so it will really take time for me to get accustomed to the new layout. Also, I believe it will take more time to build since you have to move the camera around everytime you need to place a block. I hope Mojang will be adding a feature where we could switch between the old and new layout controls.

[@debosmit03]

I definitely agree the fact that you can bridge better, but also we need to undermine the fact that pvp is going to change a lot more due to this update with mobile players. For example, let’s say I’m 4v1’ing players in a game of egg wars, the reason I might win or lose is because of spam clicking. Some people can spam click very quickly and some can’t really. Especially some players have insane reach especially for PC and mobile players.

In my opinion what I like to see in mcpe is gyroscope because with this option we will be able to change target without touching the screen while fighting , breking blocks and doing other stuff .

Sure, they need some improvements, but as a mobile player that always hopes that he gets a controller for his phone this is a dream come true. Computer and console players don't know the pain of trying to breed a llama but punching it instead... or trying to break blocks but you place lava... or... well you get the point Edit: Also an idea I have is that they could make items easier to drop without entering your inventory (maybe a button) and also I would like a button to change to 3rd person view without having to enter settings... I use a key mapper app but I have to pause it and unpause it each time I have to change the volume...

Things like dule wildling and bundles were eather canned or not added to bedrock because of the touch controls not allowing for them. I hope this fixes this issue.

They could make it so that it could be joystick or dpad movement, and it can be customize where it is, just like codm or something, so pvp could be better

[@Jayce2095]

I actually toggle "move joystick" and set "thumb opacity" to 20, I also turn off "show action buttons" for my crosshair so that my third finger can only focus on jump sneak and sprint, I actually love the new controls 😀

[@Puppycorn_18]

Nice for Mojang to try to improve the controls, but I ain't going to play Minecraft with that controls. I played pocket edition for a long time and got to used to it. I would suggest just adding some buttons instead of changing. And custom controls will help alot

[@soulpancake1018]

I definitely think the sprint button should NOT be separate because then you need two fingers for the same movement, seems scuffed and hopefully they can fix this in the future

[@earlsnowDev]

I hope they arranged the button more visually appealing. Maybe arrange it like a d-pad?

[@tanya8868]

They should also add Gyro in MCPE, it will make everything way easier

[@piverius]

One thing just to make clear: with the old controls you could actually bridge quickly, and pvp but if ur not confortable it’s very hard

[@Xx-xt4hy]

the reason why I believe that they put it on the top or right is so people have to use claw grip where they use like their index finger to click all the buttons and they have their thumb to be able to look around many shooter games like previously mentioned in your video pubg a lot of people use claw grip because you can basically shoot and look around at the same time versus having to move your finger take it off click the fire button move your finger take it off click the fire button and if they had them at the bottom your thumb would be doing all the work and it would basically be like having the old controls back

[@MrCrompz]

This is nice but I dont like the jump button being at the top almost, I'd prefer it in the old place. I also dont really like the break and place buttons

[@ThatNerdAlbert]

been playing on mobile for 7 years, thank god the current controls will still be an option cause getting used to the new ones will be hard

[@Gordons_Exprezz]

Man Cants Wait! Been play minecraft bedrock for 5 years! I’m soooo Excited

[@empyreananimates4664]

As a veteran in mc pocket This Really Made me happy that they changed the controls after years

[@TheTrooper1878]

I like the split controls for pvp, because when you play sky wars, it's not that rare to open a chest when you wanted to hit your enemy. You see the problem

[@dotcinematics]

I don’t like these new controls at all, but I am happy that I can keep the old controls though. Having to have 2 fingers on the side of the phone isn’t nice at all, and they don’t need to be that high. There is no reason to have separate permanent buttons for each control, it just needs to appear out of thin air like the flying up/down buttons do now. Mojang is cluttering the screen, when they should be decluttering. Or, a completely customizable control layout like Terraria has.

[@stafey7659]

They’re making these changes and I just want to be able to change hotbar slots while sprinting and disable opening inventory while sprinting

[@ZDXNeru]

I think this one is better because you dont have to double click to sneak, but i hope the button placements are customizable so players can customize it however they want

[@ZDXNeru]

Nevermind i havent watched the full vid
