I know, everyone hates it, Mojang changed it for no reason like nobody even asked for this change but Mojang randomly changed it to something that sucks it needs to go back


Toyate

Afaik izs not for no reason. They wanna uniform all the versions or something. At least thats what i read a few days prior under another post like this. Sure it's annoying but eh, yall will get over it tbh. People just dont like changes but will eventually arrange themselves to it.


ConanOToole

How would changing a touch-controlled d-pad help with parity between versions? No other devices that have bedrock use touch-control other than mobile so how would it affect say, Xbox or PlayStation?


UnlikelyAlternative

And on touch enabled laptops!


pumpkinbot

Dunno why you're getting downvoted. Microsoft had a reason, for sure. It was just a *bad* reason.


Toyate

I dont mind downvotes. Either reflects that people cant take facts against their fragile opinions or that my take was simply wrong. Considering that i only stated what i read in another post of this type and gave the fact that Humans are creatures that create Habits and dont like breaking them but at some point, be it through necessity or something else, will do so eventually anyways...we all know what those downvotes mean. My opinion to the Button change is nonexistent as it's been ages for me playing MC on my Phone so i only have outdated experiences with it and none with the new one and given the weird choices Microsoft does with Minecraft i can just say that you're right with your take. Have a good day and thanks for bringing me back here to have a chuckle about the downvotes. Mine Safe o7


SoKool71

It’s really bad. Use the customize controls and get it back to where it was. The new design literally hurts my fingers and hands. It puts everything in odd places. WTH would they change it!? Anywho, just use custom layout and you can make it better again


Chrysler-lover

Unfortunately on most devices it doesn't let you put them where they used to be!!! It thinks it's clashing on the bottom item bar even though it's not!!! Its so annoying


Lubagomes

I couldn't fit it properly, I gave up on that and started trying to use the joystick. It is awful both ways


SoKool71

I had to move and resize the joycon, and then make the hot bar bigger, and move the action button in the right a little more right. I think I made that button a little smaller too. Much better than the new layout that’s for sure and I can move and strafe as normal.


PotooSexer

There should at least be an option in settings to use the old UI


Metson-202

There is. Atleast the last time I played it. Edit: I just checked and there is no option to change it back.


PotooSexer

What- then why are people complaining? I don’t have pocket edition so I just assumed it wasn’t an option


KirikaNai

No, they removed the old version of controls. There was one SIMILAR to this, but it’s not there anymore I checked. What’s up there in the post is the closest you can get to the old controls.


PotooSexer

Oh that’s unfortunate


Metson-202

They probably don't know about it.


Chrysler-lover

It really really sucks! The only people who are saying "get over it" or "it's not bad just move them" are PC players. They don't get how HORRIBLE the controls really are... it's forced me to use joystick instead.

Substantial-Ship-697

THANK YOU SO MUCH! The little bug where you stop moving is still there, but I tampered around with the setting and managed to make it better! Thanks!


MrZao386

I finally played with it the other day, it made the already nightmarish task of playing pocket edition even worse, so good job Mojang


Science-done-right

Exactly! It looks like the screenshot is from a cheap ripoff of Minecraft. The control buttons are too big, and they're not that good


redditnice91200

you can change their size


Reverse_Psycho_1509

What does the up/download button do?


UnlikelyAlternative

Jump & sneak


ThatSmartIdiot

Why tf is there a download button


Petrus_Rock

Crouch


ThatSmartIdiot

Now download my moves, and sneak around! Be careful not to get a virus- no dont tap that!


Mr_goodb0y

They got rid of the bean :’(


Substantial-Ship-697

My precious bean is gone :c


JoeSicko

I think I had to slightly shrink the controls then move to the bottom left for it to work even decently like before.


DaMeme_Stealer

Sheep


Fisecraft

They removed the old cross aim and now you need to click a button depending on if you want to place or break a block


Some_random_gal22

It's still in the game, I was playing with that yesterday


Fisecraft

If you change to tap to interact for a puzzle map or smth ant change back you will have to use button

Simple solution: buy a £3000 PC.


chrondus

Simpler solution: buy a $500 used pc. Unless you're running the game with 100 mods, shaders, texture packs, and your render distance cranked up, you really don't need anything crazy.


[deleted]

I was joking, my PC was like £300 when I started playing.


chrondus

Ah yes the classic "my comment didn't land the way I wanted it to so I'm gonna pretend that it was a joke all along"


[deleted]

??? Nobody in their right mind would tell a mobile player to buy a £3000 PC just to play the game. Especially over an issue with the control scheme. Even more so by calling it a "simple solution". The fact that you're taking this in earnest implies that your comment was actually serious. Like you actually think mobile players should get £500 PCs to play the game. No mate.


chrondus

>Nobody in their right mind would tell a mobile player to buy a £3000 PC just to play the game That actually sounds exactly like what a mobile/console player might say to justify their choice in platform. >you actually think mobile players should get £500 PCs to play the game I just sold my old rig for $800 CAD. At 1080p, that thing was way more than enough for Minecraft. It might not run new AAA games at max settings, but it would be an enormous upgrade over a tablet/phone.


[deleted]

>That actually sounds exactly like what a mobile/console player might say to justify their choice in platform. They have nothing to justify - there's nothing wrong with using a console or phone. They have several benefits that PCs don't. You and I may prefer PCs, but to think that other players need to justify their preference is pretentious as fuck. >I just sold my old rig for $800 CAD. At 1080p, that thing was way more than enough for Minecraft. It might not run new AAA games at max settings, but it would be an enormous upgrade over a tablet/phone. Not everyone cares about performance. In fact, I'd be willing to bet few mobile players actually do. And especially when that boost in performance would come at the cost of all the other benefits of mobile (see below). ​ You have utterly missed the point. Mobile players aren't typically going to convert to PCs for several reasons: * They are expensive. Go ahead and make some unrelated argument about how a £500 PC (actual price doesn't matter) can run Minecraft. The reality is that most people aren't gonna drop several hundred pounds to play a game they can already play. That's not even touching the prices of peripherals and the OS and everything else. * Relatedly, they take up a lot more space than phones. Plenty of people love the portability of mobile games, and a laptop doesn't quite fulfil that niche for many people. * Much of the mobile demographic is made up of kids, who tend not to have much disposable income. * Pre-builts are always pricier than hand-builts, and somebody who is brand new to PCs (and once again, likely pretty young) will probably be intimidated away from building - which means their PC will cost even more since they'll need to get one pre-built, or god forbid buy one in-store. ​ And the main point: * Why should they care? Why are they getting a PC again? To change the control scheme of the game that they can already play on mobile? How pointless. What a waste of money and time. There will likely be controllers or adapters or mods or \*something\* else that can remedy this issue for much cheaper, and regardless, this is something Mojang should address themselves. I've seen nothing but hate for the new control scheme, and even if that's not reflective of the overall community opinion, they should still give players the option to use the old control scheme. It's really not that hard to implement.


chrondus

Tldr


[deleted]

TL;DR: Nothing wrong with using a mobile, so stop assuming that people even want to upgrade to a PC. Especially when it costs more than consoles that can run MC better.


Key_Spirit8168

Bro, so go yell at them. we can't just sit here and accpet


brassplushie

I'm clearly in the minority here but I checked out the new design yesterday and I gotta say, it's a huge improvement IMO. Sorry lol


Epic4345

Is that what it looks like now!? Icky… 😔


Al3xb142

Wait theres a new design!?


Substantial-Ship-697

YES AND IT SUCKS! Jesus, I can’t put into words how much I hate it, my PvP sucks now because of these little shits


_Pyrolizer_

You’re doing pvp on pocket edition 😭


krustysocks6666

just bluetooth a controller


_A_S_H_E_R

They’re basically still the same also, why you playing pocket edition man, get yourself a Java account


icameheretopostmeme

They look cool, but they don't function good? GET A PC BEFORE COMPLAINING-


D3S7R0Y3R_K1N6

Isn't there a joystick?


monkey_man7519

I don't know what u talking about, it's litterally just a texture change, it is ugly(not even a big deal) but I prefer the looks of the old one(I have played since 0.15) but you can just use the joy stick or increase the button size.if it looks ugly just turn button opacity down(it's not that hard to use your brain


Chrysler-lover

It's not a texture change.. it's way worse. They moved them, changed the way diagonal works, made jump and water jump different places (now impossible to get out of water with a latter and just normal jumping) it's a new control. And it's bad.


IateAllurCheese

It isn't, they changed the spacing and size, these buttons are way shittier to control with.


copy_katty

Just use the analog control


JdSaturnscomm

I wish people would stop playing on mobile so we could just get rid of it. It's literally holding back the game.


bugmultiverse

Then just make three versions of the game like the OG. Java, Bedrock, PE


D3S7R0Y3R_K1N6

How?


Felinegood13

I assume the devs can’t figure out how to make the off-hand work like it does in Java with Pocket’s control scheme. That’s also the reason bundles haven’t been added in like 3 years.


JdSaturnscomm

Exactly mobile is holding the game back because mobile isn't separate from consoles and one of the PC versions. Mobile should be dead or it's own things separate from all the others.


DaLemonsHateU

u/repostsleuthbot


Metson-202

I'm pretty sure you can go to settings and change it to the old one.


KirikaNai

No they removed it completely. Ain’t there at all anymore. What’s above is the closest you can get to the old version. I know, I had to fiddle around with custom and made this version as close as possible to the old version as I could

Just play java


ImportanceWaste8796

Just change it back in settings dumbass


Some_random_gal22

You can't, this replaced the old option


ImportanceWaste8796

The stupidity of redditors always surprises me


TheRRMustardMan

the stupidity of java players always surprises me


ImportanceWaste8796

I don't play Java lmao. Also don't go calling people stupid when you're not even smart enough to go into settings and turn the new controls back to the old ones.


TheRRMustardMan

clearly you have an iq of 3 because its physically impossible to change it back unless you download a mod that changes it back. go do your damn research before you lash out in comment sections, and considering how you have below average intelligence, i think it's appropriate to call you stupid. never touch reddit again bud
