Players on the Nintendo Switch 2 can now test mouse input in Minecraft, according to Project N, changing how the upcoming console platform handles controls.
The latest closed beta version includes specific configuration settings for utilizing a mouse alongside the Joy-Con 2 controllers. The beta software includes dedicated menus for adjusting hardware performance, allowing players to calibrate cursor sensitivity and camera responsiveness directly within the game settings.
These options allow for fine-tuned control over how the mouse interacts with the game environment, Project N reported.
The current test build maps specific gameplay actions to the controller buttons. Players can place blocks using the ZL button and break them with the ZR button.
The A button is designated for flight, while the B button controls descent. Users can also reassign these inputs through the game’s internal menu if the default layout does not suit their preferences.
The version of Minecraft for the Nintendo Switch 2 features the Vibrant Visuals system. This technology enhances the game’s lighting, shadows, and water effects.
Players can also migrate existing worlds from the original Nintendo Switch to the new hardware, allowing them to resume their current progress on the updated console.
The game includes the Super Mario Mash-Up Pack, which provides themed skins, music, and a world based on the Nintendo franchise.
While these features are appearing in testing, mouse support remains restricted to the current beta release. Physical copies of the game are available for purchase, as noted by Project N.
