They couldn't use the ctrl key for anything else so far, because it was pre-mapped on macs; so what changed? And why not just a different modifier key, like command (which doesn't even exist on other platforms). Command would be even better than ctrl, since shift can be pressed at the same time.

I even think other platforms would benefit from a modifier key as right-click alternative. How many times have you hit your dog when you wanted to make him sit? You can make fun of single button mouses as long as you want, but they are easier to use. IMO, right clicks should never be used for primary functions.

I'm not a big fan of having to change some "advanced controls" before being able to play the game. It should just work.

To make it a little more clear what the actual problem is, here one of the scenarios where it matters:

To craft a furnace, I used to take a stack of stone, hold control and draw a circle on the workbench while clicking at every cell. Now I have to stop at every cell, move a second finger to the touchpad and then click (I use the real button to klick, not just a touch). This takes about 3 times longer and feels extremely annoying.

I don't think we should file a bug at LWJGL, since it is not. They changed the behaviour. The bug is Minecraft relying on the thing they changed. It's not about emulating right clicks, but using control as a modifier key for certain actions.

Dear devs, I really don't give a rats ass why this doesn't work anymore. But I, and as it seems many others, were using it. For us, it is about as bad as having to press 7 to walk forward instead of w. You would fix that, wouldn't you? I was able to do speed challenges with my trackpad before this!

Don't whine about technical difficulties… Just acknowledge the bug to make everyone happy. And fix it eventually. And don't just close your eyes and actively try to avoid to even figure out how many people are affected by this.
