I wasted a lot of time trying to find out why the latest (Java) Minecraft versions are buggy. The view would spin 180 degrees so I would facing the other way and to add insult to injury, I would also be looking at my feet. In the middle of a mob battle or walking a cliff, this is not fun.
Additionally Minecraft would lock up and sometimes lock up the whole PC.
I thought from many, many posts I'd read that it may have been:
1) another mouse-using program such as Synergy,
2) my Java version (ie. must be Oracle java and not Openjdk),
3) graphics card drivers.
As it turns out it was Minecraft itself. I rolled it back to version 1.12 and it works like a charm. Sure, I lose some of the latest mobs, etc. but I don't care.
I'd rather a stable Minecraft than a fancy but buggy one. I play to relax so crashing my game/PC is not cool.
I wonder if Microsoft are doing this to push people away from Java Minecraft to Windows/Xbox Minecraft? It's been happening for a long time and yet no fix? Hmmm...
