Minecraft Is Getting Joy-Con Mouse Controls On Switch 2 In A Future Update

Minecraft’s Switch 2 version is set to gain Joy-Con 2 mouse controls in a future update, addressing a feature missing from the game at launch. The controls are available in a closed beta, but the wider release date has not been announced.

Players can use either Joy-Con as a mouse, adjust cursor and camera sensitivity, and change the button layout. ZL places blocks, while ZR breaks and selects them. Digital Switch owners can claim a free Switch 2 upgrade until the end of January 2027; physical-copy owners can get a discount on the Ultimate Collection upgrade.
