Do Minecraft's Mobile Controls STILL Suck?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 окт 2022
- Minecraft Bedrock Edition's mobile controls have historically, well... sucked. There have been some recent new touch control updates though, that seem to have made them better. Is that actually the case, though? In this video, I discuss that, and even try them out myself by fighting RUclipsrs @SuperGamerDX and @JitR on the Hive Minecraft server. Are Minecraft's mobile controls STILL bad? Watch this video, with some Hive Skywars mobile gameplay, and Minecraft RTX cinematics to find out 😄

For split controls, you either can learn the old one, or the new controls. You can’t get good at both because of the difference between how you aim on each one. Getting good at one, will make you worse at the other one. If anyone plans to learn the new controls, I suggest you stick with the new controls and don’t go back to the old ones, unless your non split.

For anyone who's wondering, the time stamp for where potato was in Minecraft live is 23:36
if they add customization then its gonna be the best update ever
Agreed 👍
One thing that literally everyone can agree on
Agree 100%
No cap
Yessir
We definitely need full customization for these controls - The good news is that on the Reddit thread for the original beta release of the new controls, Mojang devs mentioned multiple times that they were looking into more customizability. However, I am a little worried that its been more then half a year and we really haven't heard much more about it since.
SODUMB
Be prepared to wait another half year lol.
I hope not but let's be honest that's probably gonna be the case.
I am not using the new controls just because of not being able to customize the buttons...
@@DuffinRex Their probably prioritizing some other stuff and not trying to rush the developers. Ive made a game myself. And the ui sucked.
yes
As someone who played only onPE from the beggining, i am too used to the ,,classic" controls.I felt phisical pain when i tried to complete the Runestone hunt with the new controls.Yeah , we NEED customazitian or whatever.. :(
Same dude I've been also playing Minecraft from 8 years and i play both java and pocket edition (pocket edition for PvP and afk stuffs) and the classic controls were soo much easy and smoother i still use the classic one because new one is so uncomfortable
They just added it but now the joy sticks suck and are far apart and I’m always missing the buttons and breaking something
As someone who's played mostly on mobile for 7 or 8 years, I feel a hybrid of the new and old would work well. I'm very attached to the old arrow buttons with jump in the middle and don't care for the new joystick like way of movement, but the new buttons for attacking and interacting are much better.
As someone who has played mobile almost as long as you have, I have to agree with you
I have been playing on mobile for 8 years too! But for the last 2 years I have been mostly playing Java. + I am attached to the old arrows too, I am very used to the old controls I cannot handle new ones.
I actually have a harder time on the arrow controls because other games most likely use joystick so I'm used to the joystick
Yea agree with you
same
I agree with jitr.
I’m a mobile main and when I first started the new controls I was absolutely horrible.
I thought that I would be able to jump bridge and all that fancy stuff but no, I didn’t realize u would need 14 fingers to be good at the new controls.
I I think that customization would be very helpful.
It's only 14 fingers u can easily master it in a couple of hrs
@@Birdman._. idk man I only got 6 fingers
@@ghqsstt_ wheres the other 4? you ate it? same
@@imnotabearr the answer is 4
@@imnotabearr holding the phone brainiac
I've been testing the mobile version a couple weeks now. The controls are easy to learn although being quick is a challenge as it doesn't always register what you touch
if minecraft soon adds customization, It might be very good but for now, I like the old controls better . Aiming on the new controls seems a bit tougher for me since if you use one hand to aim and tap attack at the same time, your finger cant reach too far to keep attacking at the same time so its kinda hard to fight someone who jump all around you or keeps strafing ( on Ipad ) I also hope minecraft adds an option to use the new action buttons and to enable old dpad since I like it very much
The new controls have a higher skill ceiling but definitely needs updates
Hi
Yes I agree, I think that the movement aspects are a lot better which makes parkour easier, but pvp still needs improvement.
imshort its much harder and still suck
@@CalebBerman ratio(i am atheist and these spammers are annoying)
@@2plus2equal7 truly annoying using "god" for likes
I think the new joystick is good but that’s it. I feel like it should allow complete customization; if you like the new controls but you want the d pad you can have the d pad. I would prefer to have the joystick and then the jump button on the side and to crouch you just hold down on the jump button.
absolutely - customization of everything is needed
@ひで no🗣🗣🗣🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑
@@bokuhideninenseino
I agree with everything besides holding jump to sneek
THAT IS A CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY
With mobile controls i prefer the old one because aiming is easier and if you adjust sensivity just right , you can play really well
Ageed
Please PLEASSE, WHAT IS YOUR SENSITIVITY??!!
@@PLUTO953 35 with fov 85
@@PLUTO953 It just takes a lot of practice too
@@PLUTO953 but its rather easy and building and combat easier since you dont have to aim
Fun fact you can actually customize the controls and you can remove the fight and place button but that's for me bc it's hard to control with those buttons
I kinda prefer old controls since pvp will be alot harder when u are running away (since u have to run, move the camera, jump and hit your enemy) with the new controls, but thats just my opinion
If you swap sneak and jump you can press the walk and jump button to sprint-jump
Thats skill issue, you can tap while movint the camera
Agreed
U need 3 finger to do that
guys four fingers is enough
A really good tip I use with the mobile controls is to not pvp in a way similar to the old PVP gui.
The new mcpe pvp buttons make it possible to aim while attacking, which greatly improves accuracy instead of flicking your aim to the enemy every 4 seconds.
Dont forget about split controls its like the new ones but with the old movement and jump buttons and a crosshair
As a mobile player I can say that the new controls are okay, but they won’t be good until we get full customization
As a mobile player myself it's decent as long as you know your way around it. Overall I think mobile controls are good as long you know how to work your way around it.
Tbh all i reaally want is to be able to move the buttons on the right, they are just so weirdly placed like it woudl be much moe comfortable if the Jump button was at the bottom right instead of near the top right
I use the old controls but I use split controls, so the + thing appears instead of the round that goes everywhere
The customization i want for the new controls is that the "Hit/Attack" Button is Draggable so your not stuck with crabbing but if you hold the Hit button it auto start hits then if you drag then the aim moves with it
but that would be essentially autoclicking so no that wouldnt happen at all
@Brick Magma well yeah, but 6 cps then
Then use more than 2 fingers
I’ve been playing mobile games a long time and especially mobile shooters. Having a fully customizable hud would be a game changer as well as allowing multiple inputs on the screen at once.
By the way, there is a bug with the new controls where you cannot sneak underwater (which means you cannot sneak underwater in a magma block to get air)
Being able to change control sizes and changing positions of the controls would be great
im used to old controls cuz ive been playing for 6 years and i suck on the new ones i dont even know how to speed bridge on the new ones
After all these years….they FINALLY added the MUSIC 🎶🙌. That’s one of the main things I’ve waited for this whole time.
I like that you got 2 other people to show 2 different perspectives, hopefully more youtubers do this
But I have 1 problem with the new controls , I can’t jump bridge because my right click button doesn’t place blocks fast if I hold it down idk why , but i see other people easily jump bridging
They changed the d pad and now it’s so bad, completely unplayable I can’t even sprint
Same idk why they did that its awful
As an ex mobile playing I’m don’t think I’ll ever stop defending the classic mobile controls even if it’s just from bias, I mean I loved them and they got the job done pretty damn well, also you can’t definitely bridge quickly (it takes a lot of risk but still possible).
Agreed
because of the controls, Elytra is really hard to use on PE in an instant like in PC
you can only manage to use them like the usual, jumping on a high place
but even that is still requires a lot of effort to do
For those of you people who are bound to say the old controls are better, remember that just because your not used to the controls, doesn’t mean they aren’t better. I get that it’s hard to learn new controls, but in various ways, it’s always worth at least giving the new controls a fair shake before criticizing the controls too much
If u use three fingers u will realise that they are superior to old ones in everything,if u use two fingers u wont see much difference
Ive played mcpe since like 10-11 years now so yes Im definitely not used to the new controls, but theres so any potential missed by not adding customization options. For example, I want to have old controls with more buttons, thats it. Specifically for sneak, jump, put block (change to split control to put block while still being able to use non split control on attacking mode), entities interaction (riding a boat, fishing etc, + add using fireworks for elytra, they should do this!) while still having the old controls. Of course, we should also have options to get new controls with customization but thats just my opinion as a long (non pvp-ish, been a long time I havent go to server because of pc+mobile integration) time player.
I use 5 fingers and it’s very easy
Didn't hate the new control at all and I also tried it before. But it just not my cup of tea. End of discussion.
They updated it Recently AND I HATE THE NEW UI
I actually prefer the old one, you just need to activate crosshair in the middle of the screen, it's not that bad.
on the new one the screen is too polluted with buttons, well if there is a way to map the buttons on the screen , maybe it can be better
It depends on screen size !
mine (as a claw player) wouldve been a button on the upper left for building/using, a button on the upper right for breaking/hitting, jump on the bottom right alongside crouch, joystick/dpad on bottom left
i play on my phone and i really hate the controls, both new and old. mojang kinda sold ngl, and idk why this would be a beta feature. just release it and slowly improve it as its not gonna give you an upper hand against players on controller or kbm.
I myself have been playing bedrock (specifically pocket ) edition since the days of 0.15.0 beta and i am quite acustom with the mobile controls , its actually nice to hear a different opinion , it has hel0ed me see some ishuess i hadnt' noticed before , thanks for the video!
I really like the new mobile controls, But I do have 1 gripe: I noticed there is a small delay with the interact button. You can notice this the most when using the leap on death run. Not sure of this is just a death death run thing or not, but I know back then I noticed the delay was longer in older versions.
Also I do like the idea of custom control placement since as a mobile player, I typically play with a texture pack to make the controls invisible, and having the control buttons be right next to each other makes it really easy to press the wrong button.
Personally I like the old controls I’m just used to them
Moving the buttons around on mobile is a standard on basically every game, not having it is like not being able remap your keys or sensitivity settings
I love the way I have the controls set up on mobile but idk how I got it like that. It's the point and click buttons but the sword button isn't there so I can tap on the right side of the screen to interact
The old touch controls are better in my opinion as the more you use them you get more used to them and they become easy to use
Agreed
I much prefer the old controls, for it is more precise on my opinion
Agreed
i have been playing minecraft pocket edition for about 2 years and i have gotten used to it and the new controls have separated the activities so that makes it harder to run while fighting
Since no one has mentioned this, there is a way to at least limit the amount of things you have to use buttons for. If you go into settings, onto the touch-screen settings, you'll find that you can actually change having to use a button to hit, and open things.
I like the old one because its so eazy to use! Yea... A bit hard to use btw 😂
Personally I don’t like the sliding controls, it still feels impossible to actually play the game
Edit: YES we need customization for this to be a good system, I wish the hit button was larger but I don’t want every button being larger with it
I'd go back if we could finally customize the layout controls
I have played on mobile the entire time I played minecraft, and I got really used the to main one where you click, but then they added more new controls, and even changed the old ones, and for some reason it won't let me change them back to the old ones or adjust them to the place I want them to be. In which, I never had the time to play minecraft because I can't even play the game anymore, knowing that minecraft won't let me change it back
(And yes, I know, I am not blind, I used the settings to change them, but for some reason it doesn't work for me)
I really agree with the customization point, the new controls are great other than the fact that they’re too high up for me, if I could move them down to be more leveled with the joystick then they would be much better
nah it being up is better so my index can press the jump and my thumb can just move the screen freely
I am quietly offended by you hating the old controls because I still like the old controls.
There's actually 1 more extra control for Touch Players and on your screen you only have The (Joystick,jump,Crouch) and you can still hit anywhere
I like the joystick, but i hate that i can't just touch anywhere like old controller and need to hit the hit button, making it hard to do some action, i die so many time because i keep missing to touch the hit button
I hate the new controls, not because their bad, but because their not a good solution for improving “Touch controls.” The new controls are not touch controls, their based off of controllers, and not actually interacting with your screen. If anything, it feels like a slap to the face. We are never going to get better controls. Just stuff that caters to other ways of playing.
One word for you YES
for those people who used to play with gyro this is very uncomfortable so awkward
You know if we had full customization over these buttons my layout would be hiding the attack button.The right click ,jump and crouch buttons are still there its only the attack button that is hidden.I want it to work like the old one i just tap at the person or mob and it will attack but for right clicking i need to press the button.This is just the most confortable setup i can ever do for some reason
I am kinda used to the new controls and I love them, I destroyed my friend when I was with the controls and he was in the old ones. I would also like that they move them a bit, when I have a lot of effects, they interfere with the buttons
How do I change it back to normal tho
bro did u figure it out
Nah but I’ve kinda gotten use to it
@@Iron_Panda22 bro it’s literally so annoying like the joystick was way better before idk why they thought this was the right move. do you think they’ll bring back the old one?
Maybe u should start like a petition or something and get a ton of votes or whatever and maybe they will bring it back
@@Iron_Panda22 i doubt that me doing that would get even a bit of attention from them but i’m sure people will naturally start to do that on their own
I’ve been doing that the old mobile controls for like five years. It’s really hard to get used to the new ones.
i like old controlls, but i turn on "switch jump and crouch" so i just swipe down while moving to jump
I think the new radial thing is pretty nice. But honestly, I miss the days you can make it absolutely giant. I suck at holding phones, and so having it be a giant set of buttons instead of being a quarter of my phone's size would've been just great.
For me what's annoying is you can't swipe and hit or interact at the same time.
For example you have to swipe/aim and then interact. If you try to aim and interact at the same time, it will cancel your aim and just interact.
Q: Why is it annoying?
A: Your movement is limited to fight in PVP or Skyblocks.
Not just that. It's really annoying when there's multiple mob chasing you from 2 dirrection.
I just hope they change aiming and interacting could be done for the same time
Edit: i use split screen, that's why it's annoying. I don't use free tap, because im not used to it
I would've chosen the D-pad, if they hadn't changed it. Although after trying, the new controls are a LOT more better than the old D-pad and new D-pad, it's only up after you customise them too.
Now I get that the customise option is experimental, but it's very annoying as under heavy lag situations which happens on one specific spring map on Cubecraft, the controls just reset. They also reset when you use the floating windows feature on your phone. I don't have a problem as it is experimental, but when they're implemented, I'd still not care that much. It's just a tiny bit frustrating as I have to customise them again.
I still have to watch the video (and I will watch it) but I personally prefer the old mobile controls. This is probably because I’ve been playing Minecraft on mobile devices since I got the game, which is about more then 5 years ago now (I think). I’ve practically mastered the original controls at this point. Plus when you have only played Minecraft on mobile devices for as long as I have, you don’t really think about the touch controls
I really like the old controls. They are just so buggy. On example of a bug is dpad glitch, where sometimes if you try to sprint while hitting someone, it won’t let you sprint and even messes up your aim by making you look with the finger on the w button. I also wish there was an option to add a toggle sprint button to the classic controls so that when you tap the button, you can just automatically start sprinting every time you tap the w button. Then when you don’t want to sprint anymore, you can just turn off the toggle sprint by pressing the button, but you can still sprint by tapping the w button twice. I would use the new touch controls, but I like playing with only my thumbs and the only controls I can actually do that on is the classic controls
The dpad glitch is the most annoying one
same, but i would like a separate sprint button
They can make like you can add buttons like f5 ,f1 ,left click ,right click. Also they can make that we can't add the same like if we have left click button then not another. But i don't think it will come before a year because 1.20.
I played pocket edition since my childhood so I use the old arrow controls for years and still now
Me being a mobile player for over 1 and a half years now the new controls I think are definitely better than the old ones, I can combo, bridge, and win much easier on my tablet than before. The new controls are really good but they still need to be customisable.
The new pocket edition controls are so ugly now 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I WANT THE OLD ONES BACK!!!
Fr you can’t even do diagonal in the new d pad one too they literally ruined it
Fr
They copyrighted almost like roblox classic thumb stick i want old back
I love the old controller in mcpe it feels weird playing with these new contros
the old aiming was really nice for a mobile game with the new controls could be really useful and some bottoms on the screen that we could make a configuration
the new controls look so much more playable but if they add customisation to the controls it will make it so make more workable
it went from decent to hot trash
i played minecraft on mobile with my friend yesterday and i got used to the new controls pretty easily, even though i was a bit confused at first. i dont know how to feel about it
For me it's depends on the user...for me as i play minecraft pocket edition for to long I've get to used on the old controls i just turn on the split control cause i used to play that way because for me its so easy to use cause im just a builder and i turn on the classic instead of pocket so i can see while im crafting
I WANT MY OLD CONTROLS BACK
same😨😨😭😭😭
I perfer the old one. Because I have no idea how to use the new ones
Are you gen x 💀
@@anshkumarsingh7118 Nahh I'm a Gen Z
@@miacupcake21 never saw gen z confused with new things
@@anshkumarsingh7118 Walp now you have
The problem is the controls where made when a time the game didn't have sprinting also where you only got matched with other mobile players now you get matched with ppl on console and PC so it's a bit dated I mean atleast let us move the buttons around and resize them look at PUBG mobile and codm etc
Honestly since beginning of when i started playing mcpe i always wanted control customization it would make it so amazing
Ive always prefered the default buttons. (The ones we had for years) And I still use them, but now they have the new UI/look. But it's actually annoying for me now because I can't drag my finger to go from going straight forward to going forward-right/forward-left. A lot of the time, my charecter will stop before I can drag my finger unless I do it very quickly.
I know its a small thing, but It makes my experience on Mobile Minecraft very annoying. I wouldn't mind if I could have that circle pad, but with the rest being the old controls. But im just stuck in a weird position.
I appreciate the options though, just wish I can drag my finger to move without it stopping me.
Personally, I am beyond grateful they let you keep the old controls. If they made the nre controls the only option, I might've just stopped playing the game
Another cool feature would be to make volume buttons bindable to in-game actions
I used to only play mobile a few years back but when I was able to play controller whenever I went back to mobile it felt horrible and I was just so much worse even tho I had used the controls for years. The only thing I’ve gotta say tho is that when I went back and had to pick which control layout I picked the old ones I thi no the new ones are even worse
mojang killed the old controls,,
How is it that your right buttons are almost at the corner? Is it button size?
it would have been better if you could turn on split controls in joystick & tap to interact.
if they add another d pad to control where you look and make it customizable so people can play claw that would be there peak.
been a year, still no update for customisation 😢
I would love to have the dpad for movement and customize the right side buttons
The problem is that I am so used to the regular controls and I grew up whit left hand control (because it was the standard when it came out) And now I’m stuck whit right hand controls because there are no whey to switch. So for me and my sister the game is ruined 😡
The old ones i never had problems cuz i'm used to it for like 6 years, but the new controls r good overall
I mastered Classic movement, Jump while sprint, and so, I didnt really like new controls
*touchscreen joystick doesnt fit it*
Its still needs some refinement but they are much better than the original, but damn not being able to Button spam really sucks
My favorite setting is where you only have 3 buttons, the one the moves you, jump and crouch, it's good but I should try to use the one with more buttons, it might be better but I only use it for survival.
I play on a mobile and I’ve never seen some of these controls like the sword and the aim button instead I hit the air or something like that
Ive played mcpe since like 10-11 years now so yes Im definitely not used to the new controls, but theres so any potential missed by not adding customization options. For example, I want to have old controls with more buttons, thats it. Specifically for sneak, jump, put block (change to split control to put block while still being able to use non split control on attacking mode), entities interaction (riding a boat, fishing etc, + add using fireworks for elytra, they should do this!) while still having the old controls. Of course, we should also have options to get new controls with customization but thats just my opinion as a long (non pvp-ish, been a long time I havent go to server because of pc+mobile integration) time player.
I’d like to use the new “joystick” at the same time that I use the old button to jump and use my finger to move the camera and all that stuff
Yeah, the customizations of the buttons would be the greatest thing for mobile. It would help alot when surviving tough situations in the nether dimesion and would be better overall.
Props for your honesty, good video, you gained a subscriber! (:
The split between interacting with items and hitting is so annoying
It was fine just having to tap the screen with split controls
