Minecraft wiki entry for Controls, associated text: On the PlayStation Vita Edition (when playing on the PlayStation Vita), Wii U Edition (when playing on the Wii U GamePad), and Nintendo Switch Edition (when playing in tabletop or handheld mode), the touchscreen can be used to control the tooltips shown at the bottom of the screen (if enabled), as well as the menus and inventory.
Likewise, on the PlayStation 4 Edition, the touchpad can be used to move the inventory cursor as well as control the menus by swiping.
The Wii U Edition can be played with a Wii U GamePad, Wii U Pro Controller, Classic Controller, or Classic Controller Pro. It can not be played with a Wii Remote or Nunchuk.
Note: While the Wii U Edition can not be played with a Wii Remote or Wii Remote Plus, a Wii Remote or Wii Remote Plus is required to play with a Classic Controller or Classic Controller Pro.
The Nintendo Switch Edition can be played with a pair of Joy-Con controllers, the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller, or the Nintendo Switch Lite. It can not be played with a single Joy-Con, as it does not have enough buttons or control sticks.
