Some may claim that it was the intent to remove arrow control in the update, sure, but indeed the controls are now bugged...
Users can no longer easily navigate their amazing and sometimes intricate harbors. The mouse does not allow for decent control of a boat near objects - the turn time is horrible. Have you even been in a canoe AFK? - You should be able to spin 360 degrees on the spot.
Also, users can no longer control a boat and enjoy a tasty beverage in the other AFK hand. You basically need 2 hands to operate the boat now. That is quite a shame for those long ocean journeys.
Mouse control should have been removed completely, and just used to view the awesome world you are sailing past. I wanna look one way and go the other 😉
Does that make any sense?

Funny, I did that, but that ticket seems resolved and people still seem upset.
The fact that Mojang has "damaged" many well built harbors, rivers and other water areas with this control change is quite frustrating. I think you may hear more on this, or there'll just be a quiet dismissal of boats as a real mode of transportation in Minecraft.
Then discuss on that ticket. Making a new ticket will not help to get the issue resolved, as the reason the first is marked as Intended is that Mojang intentionally implemented it. It's Mojang's game, so they can do with it what they want.
T'was a decent argument. If ya don't feel like adding it t'the original topic, I'll post it fer ya.
Thank you Thomas 🙂 but I copied my comments over to MC-14521 already.
But Thomas, as Anon Ymus so eloquently put for Minecraft's loyal players ... "It's Mojang's game, so they can do with it what they want."
Heart-touching isn't it?
Yeah, it's about as touchin' as M.Night Shyamalan tellin' 'is audience that he made his movies fer himself, an no one else.
