Hi guys, and before you say anything, this is not a question about the 1.8 release date. I was just wondering what could be the controls for creative mode. Here's my idea:

Fly: Double tap A

Fly Upwards: Up on D-Pad

Fly Downwards: Down on D-Pad

Give me feedback on my idea and post your own ideas. Thanks!

4J already have talked a little about this. Have announced that sprinting will be clicking the left stick. And camera change will be moved to D-Pad, they have said nothing about flying. Since then they have stated they are currently using and testing up twice on the left stick to sprint and it felt good to them. I think up twice on stick is bad because you stop moving for a split second and clicking(toggle) but not holding left stick button is my vote. Flying most likely will be double tap A to fly, hold A to go up and hold stealth to go down.

I'd rather go for holding A for up (like the computer space bar).

I would like A for going up,and B for going down...

That sounds good but what about drop item the currently occupies that button.

Hows this

A - B - X - Y - RT - LT -click right stick = all stay the same

LB = moves down in flight
RB = initiates flight and makes you move up
click left stick toggles sprinting

D-Pad
UP = change camera 3rd person
Down = change camera reverse 3rd person
LEFT = move action bar item to left
RIGHT = move action bar item to right

I hope 4JSteve is reading this.

Sprinting is no longer clicking the stick. It is now pushing the left thumbstick forward twice.

They have not said it to be final only thats what they have it to now. But I think its a mistake to do it this way. Please test it if you tap up on stick twice there will be a stutter step. Unlike if you click the stick. Plus who hasnt been in a situation where you are doing something like fighting mobs then accidental clicking the left stick and haveing you go into 3rd person and almost dieing due to it.

If they're smart, they'll use this.

Except how do you then choose what item / tool in your hot bar to use with these controls?

...Did you even look at what you were quoting?

Three words: freely configurable controls.

Everything else is pointless.

That means you can't switch items while flying
