The update includes settings to adjust both cursor and camera sensitivity. By default, the controls use ZL to place blocks and ZR to break or select blocks. Flying is mapped to the A button and going down is mapped to the B button. Players can change these button layouts in the game settings.

These mouse controls are currently only available in the closed beta. Owners of the original Switch version of Minecraft can upgrade to the Switch 2 version for free until January 31, 2027.
