We want to play Minecraft as only one player. We do have another controller that has already been connected to the Xbox One for use with other multi-player games. As we walk around it keeps flashing a window that shows a picture of 4 controllers with controller #2 flashing and it says "Press Button (3 lines) to Join Game". The 2nd controller is turned off, but we still get the message. How do we turn this off?
I ran into this early on in xb1 minecraft. It turned out that somehow our controllers had been assigned to certain profiles. After we got rid of that, we don't have that problem any more. I don't remember exactly at the moment, and my kids are watching a tv show right now, but it should be in settings for the controller, or within each person's profile...... I will look into that again and get back on late tonight to see if you got your issue resolved.
I have gotten this under the following: a) One 'wired' controller plugged in recharging one wireless controller. When both joined the game, picked same profile twice. After that, all movement caused that stupid screen to pop up.
Hard shut down XBOX (Hold power on console). Unplug wired. Start normally. Pick profiles carefully and haven't seen it since. Not 100% sure same issue. but hope it helps.

I had the same issue after my wife logged off the game I was playing. I reloaded the map and I was still getting the prompt. The only cure was to hard-restart my xbox. Looks like it was a glitch since she was still signed into her profile, but her controller was turned off. I think logging out of the profile after you exit should work too. Not too sure about the last however, it's just a hunch.

I have seen this. It happens if two players play in splitscreen and game is shut down whitout player two loging out. To resolve it log in player two and log him out the right way, or restart xbox.
I actually ran into this today after having my daughter assist me the other day in getting an achievement. I was able to solve it by backing out of Minecraft, clicking the menu button? (small black right hand button) and choosing quit the app. I then hit the X lit up button to shut that controller off and then used the other controller, fired Minecraft back up and the problem went away. Something is weird I suspect because of the porting from X360 to X1.
The controller I was using was connected to my daughters acct yesterday. I made sure everyone was logged out and logged myself in with a different controller and it seems to be working fine now.
Maybe just a glitch, & if there's only one controller working maybe a hard reset would work too.
I don't know much technical stuff... but this is what's worked for me.
I had the same issue as Gelelalah, exited minecraft, did the switch of controllers and all is well now. For me, this problem occurred on creation of a new world as well as existing worlds. It's like the minecraft expects the same controller to always be used for a particular profile. I'm going to try labeling controllers and see if that is true. If it is, how lame is that? I'm beginning to miss Minecraft on the 360.
Check your controller, chances are one of them is broke. In minecraft you need to push forward or up twice to run. This causes the left analog stick to break over time.
Two of my controllers, if not touched, still try to move up or forward. If the controller is logged in or plugged in, it continues to send that signal causing the "press start" message.
Easy test.
Turn on game and both controllers.
Play split screen.
Start game and put controllers down.
If your character is moving still, then sticks are broke.
Also could be a stuck button as well.
Solution.
New controller.
Sometimes you can reset controller connections by pushing the find controller button at the top of the controller. Might work.
Or if you are daring, open controller and try to repair.
Chances are you will still need a new controller.
I wish minecraft allowed pushing in stick to run instead of forward twice fast, I'm sure this broke a few of my controllers already.
Thanks in advance!
Getting the same - on Minecraft - did you ever resolve this issue ? Or find out the cause ?

Check to make sure that controler isn't logged in. That's the only thing I can think of.

As anyone actually figured out why this happens? it's happened to me also.
Yep. Just sorted it out on my xbox.
