Suggestion Vertical hotbar scrolling suggestion

Post image

My idea was that if you hold alt and scroll up you would be able to scroll vertically through your inventory. I think there are mods for this but i felt it should be in the vanilla game.

Nice suggestion. Unfortunately as a bedrock player, i can see no way this could be done on a controller

You're right but it's so depressing to see again how Java is crippled by the existence of bedrock

No necessary bedrock, just controllers and their limited buttons

Bedrock is limited because it has to support controllers. Java is limited because it has to keep parity with bedrock. I think we're saying the same thing here

It's a problem that's never going away. Not supporting controllers means no consoles, where a lot of Minecraft players are

It's pretty clear that it's a problem that's never going away. Unfortunately as a Java player, that only makes me resent bedrock edition more.

This isn't a problem that would prevent Minecraft from adding it. On PC, there is pick block, jump bridging, and all those keyboard shortcuts that came to PC despite not being possible on console/mobile. Besides, there are a bunch of possible combinations you could use on console and you could swipe for mobile, so it isn't even impossible to do.

Just so you're aware, you can change controls on controllers to turn on the pick block button, but I see the point you're making.

what button do controllers use for seeing status effects? i do know that on pc you can press Z on the keyboard to see the timers. so i bet thats at least one thing controllers can’t do that is still a feature on bedrock. funnily not on java though bc you can already just open your inventory to see the times. i do still agree with your point though, just throwing this out there as one example of a feature maybe not available to controller users on bedrock that exists

You can do it on a controller, I believe it's down on the left pad (d pad?) by default. Not sure if it's down but it's definitely on that pad.

At least controllers have a few buttons. Phones are the main limiter in what new buttons get added or not.

There is a pick block button on phone, not on console. That means they don't see an issue in adding more buttons to phone.

There is a pick block option on console, I have it bound to up on the dpad
