After the latest update of Minecraft Bedrock Edition (MCPE), the touch screen control system has changed in a way that is affecting gameplay, especially PvP.
Previously, players were able to press and drag the screen directly from the attack/aim button (right side of the screen) to rotate the camera or aim smoothly. But after the update, this functionality is delayed or restricted — dragging the screen from inside the button doesn’t work instantly anymore. It only starts to work when the finger is moved near the edge or outside the button area, which creates serious issues in reaction time and gameplay flow.
This affects fast-paced combat (PvP) and mobility. It has made it difficult to:
Aim quickly while tapping the attack button
Use combo moves smoothly
Maintain consistent strafing and camera movement during battles
This feels more like a touch zone or UI input bug, or possibly an unintended change in the new input system.
Device: [OnePlus 11R]
OS: Android
Minecraft Version: [e.g., v1.21.x]
Controls: Touch
Game Mode: Survival/Creative (mainly affects PvP in any mode)
Please fix this issue or provide an option to toggle back to the previous touch control behavior. It’s severely affecting mobile players' p
erformance.
Thanks!
fr that thing is super annoying
