I'm new to Minecraft, and have not been able to find info on how a student can change her settings to meet her needs in being left-handed. I found an article from long ago saying to just choose "left-handed." But the only place I see that option is in touch controls. She needs her mouse controls to change, yes? Can you help? Thank you!

  Can you tell us what device she is using?

  Hi there EdTech Pam, I'm happy to provide some steps in adjusting the game profile for a left-handed student. 

  To do this, open up the settings menu and select "Keyboard and Mouse."

  This will show you the keyboard layout on the right side of the screen that you can scroll through. To switch the mouse buttons around do the following:

  1. Click on the "Attack/Destroy" button and when the text turns yellow use the right mouse button.
  2. Click on the Item/Place block button and when the text turns yellow use the left mouse button.

  This will switch your mouse controls, but leave the WASD (up, left, back, right) movement keys the same. If your student is connecting on a device with a number pad on the keyboard, you can adjust this by scrolling down and following the same steps with the keys of your choice - such as the arrow keys or 8 (up) 4 (left) 5(back) 6(right) 7 (strafe left) and 8 (strafe right).

  It is important to note though, some of the other letter keys are bound to in-game steps. So if you bind to those you may need to switch those other keys around as well. I hope this helps!
