Hello Minecraft Team,
I would like to report an issue related to the first control layout in Minecraft.
Whenever I use the bow and hold it, the arrow loads correctly. A crosshair (the plus sign) appears in the center of the screen, which normally indicates where the arrow should be fired from. However, the arrow is not firing from the center (crosshair position). Instead, it is firing from wherever I’m holding the bow on the screen.
This is confusing during gameplay because the bow's firing direction should align with the crosshair in the middle, but it’s firing from the touch position instead. The same issue happens with snowballs too.
It seems like the firing mechanics are not synced properly with the first control layout. I’m not sure if this is a bug or an unintended change after a recent update, but it’s affecting the gameplay experience.
Please look into this issue and fix it in the next update.
Thank you for your time and support.
