      These terrible, buggy touch controls have been affecting all mobile players, I really hope they get fixed soon! Future touch controls should have buttons that are very customizable (changing size, position, opacity of each button, adding more buttons etc).

      Steps to reproduce:
      Tap the d-pad with two fingers. A player's thumb will often create two touches on the d-pad like so.

      Observed results:
      Two touches on the d-pad will force the player to place blocks, attack, break blocks, etc. This makes playing the game very difficult on all mobile devices, as you'll often place blocks accidentally when you move around with the d-pad, attack villagers and golems, etc. This also happens on the JUMP button.

      Expected results:
      The d-pad arrow keys, and the area around the dpad shouldn't be able to be used to place blocks, attack, etc. It should only be used for movement.

      ---------------------------------------------------------

      Steps to reproduce:
      1. Move with dpad
      2. While holding down the arrow keys, slide your finger away from the dpad

      Observed results:
      The player will suddenly stop moving and will be forced to look around. This sudden stop tends to cause a lot of deaths when you're trying to run away from mobs, parkouring, etc.

      Expected results:
      The player should still be moving even if the fingers are a tad bit away from the arrow buttons.

      (It may be worth noting that my current button size setting is maxed, and yet these issues still persist on all devices)
