summary: when idle from minecraft for a relative short time playing as player 1 the game will either ask you to "join as player 2", after this happens you cannot join as player 1 again without completely shutting down minecraft and reloading the game or the game wont be frozen but your controller will not interact with the game and the only remedy once again to close and reload minecraft.

the issue relatively a small issue if happening once but if your reloading the game several time during a gaming session it becomes not very fun.
