How can I pick block on a touchscreen? - Young couple selecting food in market

I'm trying to pick a block on Minecraft Education Edition for iPad, but I can't.

I've tried changing the settings, but as the game is on an iPad, and the settings are for a keyboard, it seems impossible to assign something that would work in this case.



Best Answer

From what I have seen, it doesn't seem possible (without mods).

The "pick block" function is normally bound to the "mouse3" button, and while it is a configurable control, on the iPad, you're limited to simply tapping on the screen. If at all, the only function I can think of is a "tap" or a "long tap" (i.e. hold your finger on the screen for longer than 1 second). If that is a function, I daresay that it is already bound to something else (e.g. digging).

This Can Be Useful If You're a Tablet or Phone User! You find an item that's called "Pick Block" located in the "Tools" tab. Once you found it, it will look like this. Hold on the item and tap on any block. When you tapped on the block, that specific block will appear on your inventory, also a message will appear.
