I assume this is related to the inventory tweaks introduced in 1.16
I enjoy playing with controller in survival worlds, it's more relaxing and chill than leaning over my keyboard, however, one of the quality of life features seems to of been broken.
My controls are set up so that Y opens the inventory, and X opens Crafting. Whenever I open a world, the first thing I do is open my inventory using Y, and then I press RT to close the Recipe Book to reduce the screen footprint my inventory takes. It makes it easy to see mobs while I'm looking through my items, or in multiplayer environments- to see other players around me. Pressing X would then open my inventory with the recipe book open, and my cursor immediately in the book, ready to craft. This meant that only one button press was needed to get my inventory with, or without, the crafting menu. X would have a similar function to simply opening a crafting table (which still opens with the recipe book, much like pressing X with my controls used to).
The bug:
Inventory and Crafting buttons on controller are no longer separate and do the same thing

Actually, Pressing {X} Will Make your cursor go to the inventory, not the crafting inventory, this was first introduced in the old Nintendo Switch, Or even XBOX, you can simply ignore the {X} and {Y} buttons or just disable them by, Pausing > Settings > Controller > Look for the crafting > and click that back arrow right beside that.
Hope this helps!
Also! Please put the correct platform you are on, Windows Does not have this, And Please Be patient, Saying "Glad this is being ignored." wont help at all.
Thank-you!
Scuse me? "Windows doesn't have this"
Actually, it does. You are able to connect any controller- even an xbox controller, which I use- and Minecraft will detect the controller and you'll be able to play identically to playing on console. Plus, you clearly are misunderstanding the issue. On an xbox controller, the buttons are laid out mirrored to how they are on Switch. With versions prior to 1.16, the Y button, which is the top button on xbox controllers, and the default [inventory] button on controller, would open the inventory and crafting menu, allowing you to close the recipe book, and only have your inventory, and the default 2x2 crafting grid visible. When pressing x, which is the default [crafting] button on xbox controllers, and the left face button, the game would then open your inventory in the same way as you would when openning a crafting table, meaning the recipe book would once again open.
Please, do a bit of research before attempting to impersonate the moderators on here, Jake. You disappoint me.
Thank you for your report!
