Can you play Minecraft on Wii U GamePad?

The console is an essential part of the Wii U system. Without it, the controller is useless. Even though you can opt to play Wii U games on the controller's embedded screen instead of on a television, the controller is not a separate game console.

Can you just use the Wii U GamePad?

Only a Wii U GamePad and Wii U Pro Controller or Wii Classic Controller can be used in multiplayer mode.

What controllers do you need for Minecraft Wii U?

You can use the Wii Remote or the Wii U Pro Controller, but those are usually options in some of (not all) the games or when choosing a game from the main menu. Everything else requires the gamepad, setting up, apps, that sort of thing. Don't buy one without the gamepad, wait and get one with a gamepad.
