A dedicated Nintendo Switch 2 version of Minecraft launched a few weeks ago, offering improved graphics with Mojang’s “Vibrant Visuals” update and the Nintendo exclusive Super Mario Mash-Up Pack. Owners of the original Switch version can upgrade to the Switch 2 edition for free until 31st January 2027, and another highly requested feature is now in development.
In the latest closed beta build of the game, early support for Joy-Con 2 mouse controls has been added, complete with settings to manually adjust the sensitivity for both the cursor and camera. By default, the ZL and ZR triggers on the Joy-Con 2 are used like mouse clicks to place and break blocks respectively. It’s unknown when the feature will be added in a public release update, but we can expect it to arrive in the near future.
I am very very very happy and excited for this. It sounds like the perfect setup to cozy up and play this winter
Cool 😎
Considering Minecraft began on PC and the Switch 2 controllers have mouse capabilities, I’m surprised this wasn’t a day-one feature to begin with, but I’m glad it’s coming eventually.
It’s kind of funny how this is the only console version of minecraft with 120 FPS with native mouse controls. I know ps5 and xbox support mouse controls, but switch 2 has more accessible ones that come with your console. But I will try this out, I hope the Beta still works for me.
