Minecraft's controls for building stuff is very simple - you just point and click to place or remove stuff depending on your active item. Here you can point (via gyroscope, etc) and tap and you could even "scrub" to remove stuff. This could be done with just a hand (the phone in portrait mode, you tap/scrub with your thumb).
- Cthulhu_ 7y agoOne scene in the trailer showed a smaller model on a table; what if they use the Minecraft for mobile's UI to create a model in-game, which you can then place (to scale) in a location?
- ethbro 7y agoI was going to say the same thing. I'd be really surprised if they didn't have some sort of blueprint link from full game -> mobile. Seems a no-brainer.
- drinfinity 7y agoDo you even play, bro? Building is not performed while standing still, also it is quite finicky. Walking around touching the screen will get old really fast.
