I’ve always thought that Minecraft Bedrock edition’s mobile controls suck in my eyes they’re just really bad or maybe I’m the one that’s bad it’s definitely one of the two look as much as I’ve trashed the touch controls over the past few years they have gotten some Updates to try to make them better and while I’ve talked about that in the past I pretty much just briefly played with them for video and haven’t done much with them since that brings us to today then do the controls still suck are they still as much of a disadvantage as they Were in the past what even is the best control scheme to use now I’ll answer all of that in this video so if you’re interested let’s get started foreign okay so because it’s been a minute since we’ve done anything with mobile controls on this channel let’s Take a second to go back over the options that you have for controlling the game on mobile the way I see it there’s essentially two ways to control the game you have the old controls which pretty much everyone that’s ever played or seen Pocket Edition knows of and then You’ve got the new controls which have been in betas and texture packs for the past few months and literally just released to the official game a few days ago now the old pocket edition controls are extremely straightforward there are six buttons to control movement on the screen four of them control your Direction one of them makes you jump and one of them makes you crouch to interact with things on the screen you just tap them that’s what you do finally I don’t think this needs to be said but you drag and swipe the screen to control the direction that you’re looking at and That’s the original or old controls it really doesn’t take much brain power to figure them out at the same time though I do feel like they’re kind of limited with how simple they are and they definitely lose some functionality as compared to keyboard and mouse or controllers just by being so simple Minecraft’s new touch controls though attempt to fix that just by looking at this screenshot you can see that there’s a whole bunch of buttons added on the right side of the screen and all of those add a bunch of individual actions that you weren’t necessarily able to do On the old controls for example you’ve got specific attack and interact buttons which used to essentially be the same thing on the old controls you just tap the screen and do one of those they’re split up now though and you can be more precise with what you want to tap now There’s also jump and sneak buttons which granted were already there in the old controls but they’re next to each other now which I find to be better for me and then finally there’s an individual sprint button now meaning that you don’t have to double tap the forward button to Sprint and with these Controls you can also enable an option called Sprint on movement which removes the sprint button but makes it so that whenever you move forward you’re automatically sprinting now like I said earlier these controls were essentially designed to improve upon the things the old controls didn’t exactly do well but Is that what they actually do well that’s the entire point of this video we’re trying to find out if the controls still suck or if they’re actually good now obviously I need to test them out myself so I went and got two YouTubers one of them is known as super gamer DX And he’s a PC player like me that doesn’t play mobile all that much the other is known as Jitter and he’s one of the best mobile Minecraft players that I could find getting two players of different skill levels will help me out a lot in figuring out if the controls Are actually good or not because against someone that’s not as experienced with mobile controls you can get an accurate representation of how it feels to be playing against normal players and when you play against someone that’s really good you can see if the controls actually make you good or not so let’s Start off against super how did that go super gamer DX are you are you ready to fight yeah man what could go wrong or what could go wrong oh my God time is awesome time to put him in the time bro I’m not aiming bro this is like something It really is this is so bad I’m just standing your button hoping it hits you oh you got two hits on me oh I also tried fighting super on mobile while he was on PC and I think you can figure out just about how well that went It’s just so hard to aim like this like I can’t even do anything oh yeah right after that clown show though it was time to test my abilities against someone that’s been playing on mobile for a while and knows what they’re doing I’m not gonna lie I wasn’t expecting to do Well against Jitter at all and here’s what happened okay okay I’m getting some hits at least which is which is something but uh Yeah oh no are you fine you’re just looking I’m trying thank you uh are you okay yeah no I’m okay again you don’t realize how bad I am at mobile I also decided to try a fight where I was on keyboard and mouse and he was still playing on mobile and uh wow Dude you’re trading wall okay Oh my chill where this way you got like one heart wow after all of this though I decided to ask what his thoughts were on the mobile controls both new and olds since he has to deal with them day in and day out here’s what he said hey the new Controls is like a it’s like a very big upgrade like you can just basically jump bridge and do like everything so damn that’s a w yeah but honestly if they add customizable position replacements for the buttons there that would be nice did you hear that he wants customization Basically he wants to be able to change the positions of buttons on screen to be where it suits him best at the current time you have to do a really wacky claw grip to be able to use all of the buttons simultaneously and it’s not very comfortable or practical to do now if You were able to customize the buttons and be able to put them wherever you want that might not be as big of a problem you could move a button over to the left side of the screen or even just move most of the buttons down since They’re in a really weird spot near the top of the screen or if you really wanted to you could even play one-handed by moving all the buttons over onto the same side of the screen customization would be really useful for Minecraft’s mobile controls and while it actually Might be coming sooner than you’d think let me explain earlier in the year back when the new mobile controls were just coming out in the beta versions for testing people were looking through the game files and found the menu titled welcome to control customization on it there were two options drag elements to Reposition and modify settings now even though this was found a few months ago it wasn’t actually put into the game at all but the fact that this showed up around the same time as the new mobile controls and that the new mobile controls just came out to the full game Means that this could be out soon I have literally no proof of that but I feel like it could happen why wouldn’t they release useful touch control features alongside each other I’m getting off on a little bit of a tangent though so let’s Circle back to the main point of The video do Minecraft’s mobile controls still suck well I think you can probably tell from the background gameplay that I sure do I could have just recorded my gameplay on PC put up screenshots and videos of mobile whenever I needed to and be done with the video easily but I Wanted to get the full experience of mobile controls so I recorded all of the background gameplay for this on mobile I’m not gonna lie it was painful and I’m not gonna act like I enjoy playing Minecraft on mobile as someone that’s played Minecraft on keyboard and mouse For probably the past six or seven years at this point I’m not used to the mobile controls at all and a lot of them don’t necessarily make sense to me but that doesn’t mean that they suck and I think that’s something that I’ve gotten wrong over the past few years I’ve pretty much Always had the mindset that if you’re playing on mobile you’re just gonna be worse than someone playing on PC or controller but as you saw on the clip with Jitter earlier I was planning on PC and we were pretty much trading mobile controls don’t make you bad and in some Cases can make you better than PC players for example if you wanted to you could play on non-split controls and hit people that you’re not even looking directly at which is something that you actually can’t do on controller or keyboard of mouse but at the same time I Think it’s fair to admit that mobile controls do have some limitations and the average PC player is going to beat the average mobile player that’s just how it is on the flip side though this is precisely why servers like the hive and cubecraft have device or input based Matchmaking so that the mobile players will play against other mobile players and so the games are based on skill instead of whoever’s lucky enough to have the most expensive device personally I’m Gonna Keep playing Bedrock Edition on keyboard and mouse just because that’s what I enjoy the Most but if you’re limited to or just enjoy playing on mobile don’t let anyone stop you while there’s definitely areas where they can improve I think you can be safe we said that mobile controls don’t suck as much anymore if you enjoyed this video about Minecraft bedrock’s mobile controls you also might Enjoy this video that I made about a server that’s apparently coming to bedrock soon called tubnet if you’re interested click the video that just showed up on screen but either way that’s gonna be it for me today thank you all for watching and I will see you in the next video peace out Video Information

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 YouTubers @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 😄
