A mod that adds the best **controller support** for Minecraft: Java Edition.<\/p>\n
<\/center><\/p>\n
# SPLITSCREEN!<\/p>\n
(Advertisement)<\/p>\n
Controlify Splitscreen is a **separate mod in development** that adds splitscreen support to the game! JARs are currently only available on Patreon!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
## Wiki<\/p>\n
Read up on the Controlify Wiki for more information on how to use Controlify, how to configure it, and how to develop for it.<\/p>\n
## What is Controlify?<\/p>\n
Controlify is the best controller support mod for Minecraft: Java Edition. It exceeds the first-party Bedrock Edition controller support in every way possible. It is feature-complete, with support for vibration, gyroscope, HD haptics, and more.<\/p>\n
Controlify supports *all* controllers, thanks to its usage of the SDL3 library, which is the most advanced cross-platform input library available. <\/p>\n
Controlify is designed to be both user-friendly and feature-rich. It has sensible defaults, with default sensitivity matched to Bedrock Edition for easy transition, and a simple yet informative settings screen that allows you to tweak your experience to your liking.<\/p>\n
## Feature overview<\/p>\n
– **Vibration support**; Controlify vibrates your controller upon events such as taking damage, breaking blocks, lightning strikes.
\n– **Gyroscope support**; Controlify can use the gyroscope in your controller for precise aiming.
\n– **Vendor-specific input support**; Controlify supports reading paddles, mute buttons (and their LEDs), touchpads, and more, on some controllers including Xbox, DualSense and Steam Deck.
\n– **GUI operation**: Controlify allows you to navigate all Minecraft GUIs with your controller, without needing a mouse or keyboard. This includes the inventory, out-of-game menus, and modded GUIs. It features cursor snapping in inventory screens, allowing you to use your controller without needing to be precise with your cursor movements.
\n– **DualSense\/DualShock support**; Controlify does not require any additional software for PlayStation controllers, even on Windows.
\n– **Controller identification**; Controlify has bespoke button glyphs for many controller models, including Xbox, Playstation, Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck, and more.
\n– **On-screen keyboard**; Controlify includes a fully functional on-screen keyboard that allows you to type with your controller – truly no keyboard needed!
\n– **Radial menu**; Controlify features a configurable menu that allows you to bind less-used actions to a radial menu, saving up buttons.
\n– **DualSense HD haptics** support; Controlify allows for advanced vibration effects on DualSense controllers.
\n– **DualSense adaptive triggers support**; Controlify allows for advanced trigger effects on DualSense controllers.
\n– **Data-driven design**; Controlify allows resource packs to change default bindings, theme button glyphs, on-screen button guides, on-screen keyboard layouts, add more controller models, and more.
\n– **Steam Deck support**
\n– **Mod compatibility**; Controlify has led the efforts to make controller support work seamlessly with mods like Sodium, Iris, Simple Voice Chat, Do A Barrel Roll, and more.
\n– **Cross-platform and multi-version**; Controlify works on Fabric and NeoForge, and actively supports and updates for Minecraft versions 1.21.1 and above.
\n– **Quick to update**; Controlify is updated even for Minecraft snapshots, although snapshot builds are only available to patreon members.
\n– **Joystick support**; Controlify supports flight sticks, racing wheels, and other non-standard joysticks. Users of such devices have the option between mapping the joystick to a standard gamepad, or creating their own custom bindings and defaults and glyphs for the joystick, allowing for a fully-featured experience.<\/p>\n
## Who uses Controlify?<\/p>\n
The following is actual feedback I have received from users of Controlify, and I’m very proud to have been able to help them enjoy Minecraft in a way they couldn’t before:<\/p>\n
– Couch gamers who want to sit back and relax playing their favourite edition of Minecraft.
\n– First-time modded players who have previously played Minecraft on a console and don’t want to learn how to use a keyboard and mouse.
\n– People with accessibility requirements who cannot use a keyboard and mouse and\/or requires an adaptive controller.
\n– Parents who want to expose their kids to modded Minecraft in an accessible manner.
\n– People who just prefer using a controller over a keyboard and mouse.
\n– People who want to play local multiplayer with their friends and family using the companion Splitscreen Mod
\n– Hopefully you!<\/p>\n
## Features<\/p>\n
### Controller vibration<\/p>\n
Controlify supports controller vibration, which has not been seen before for PC versions of Minecraft,
\nincluding Bedrock Windows 10 Edition. Configure the intensity of each vibration source, with
\ncomplex vibration patterns for lots of aspects of the game (e.g. when you take damage).<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
### Radial menu<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
To save up some buttons on your controller, dedicate some less-used actions to the radial menu.
\nIt is fully customizable through the settings and intuitive to use. Any modded keybind is
\ncompatible with this menu.<\/p>\n
### Gyro support<\/p>\n
Controlify has built-in support for controller gyroscopes, allowing you to make fine movements in-game
\nwith your controller. This can be combined with flick stick to be able to use a controller without
\nthe compromise.<\/p>\n
### Container cursor<\/p>\n
Just like in bedrock edition, you can move a cursor across your inventory, and interact
\nwith it in a controller-friendly way. With dedicated buttons for quick move, dropping etc. Controlify also comes with cursor snapping, so you don’t need to be so precise with cursor movements.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
### Controller identification<\/p>\n
Controlify has the ability to identify the make and model of your controller automatically,
\nand displays relevant button textures for your controller. This is also extendable by resource packs, changing up the button textures in a different style and adding some of your own, more niche controller identifiers.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
### Joystick support<\/p>\n
You can connect any joystick to the mod and map it with your own names and textures, with an unlimited amount of inputs per controller.<\/p>\n
### Button guide<\/p>\n
There is a simple overlay in-game that displays the buttons you can press
\nbased on your player’s state and look direction. This is useful for new players, who
\nhave not yet memorised the controls.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Also, some GUIs display controller buttons on elements that have a controller shortcut, to easily navigate with a controller like you should be able to.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
### Containerised Controllers<\/p>\n
This mod is built around the fact that each controller is completely separate, with it’s own configuration, bindings etc.
\nThis means it will be trivial to add support for split-screen play in the future.<\/p>\n
### Built for mod compatibility<\/p>\n
GUI operation has been abstracted into a simple API, which allows other mods to easily add support for their own GUIs,
\nwithout convoluted support throughout the whole mod’s codebase, making it difficult for third parties to integrate.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n

### Automatic controller deadzone calibration<\/p>\n
The deadzone values of your controller are automatically calibrated,
\nmeaning you don’t have to worry about it.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
## Backports?<\/p>\n
This mod is only and will only be available for **1.19.4** and above, this is because in 1.19.4, Mojang
\nintroduced arrow key navigation which was easily ported to controller, below 1.19.4, this is not possible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
