Minecraft Java How to Add Controller Support
This article is over 2 years old and may contain outdated information.

Many considerย Minecraft Java Editionย for PC the best version ofย Minecraftย due to its access to online mod libraries, and controller support is one of the mods featured in such collections. While the mouse and keyboard serve as a common method to play onย Java, some players prefer the handheld comfort and accessibility of a gamepad or controller. Sinceย Minecraft Javaย on PCย does not have native controller support, fans of gamepad-oriented gameplay will need to visit one of the popular online modding libraries for the mod they need โ€” Controllable of Curse Forge.

How To Get Controller Support For Minecraft Java On PC

Adding Controller Support To Minecraft Java

To get started,ย Minecraftย fans must first head to the official download page for theย Controllable mod on Curse Forge. On the upper-right corner of the screen, they will be given two options to either Download or Install. Download is the method requiring the manual installation of the mod, while Install completes the process automatically via the Curse Forge app.

Below are the steps for the manual installation of the Controllable controller support mod for Minecraft Java: 

  • Step 1: Download and install theย latest version of Minecraft Forge forย Minecraft
  • Step 2: Launchย Minecraftย and make sure the game launches through Forge. If Forge does not appear in the list of options, ensure that “Modded” is checked in the Installations tab of the Launcher. If Forge still has yet to appear, select “New Installation” and Forge 1.19 in the second option.
  • Step 3: Onceย Minecraftย has been launched, select Mods from the in-game main menu.ย 
  • Step 4: Choose “Open Mods Folder” in the bottom-right corner.
  • Step 5: Drag and drop the Controllable controller support mod forย Minecraft Javaย into the folder.
  • Step 6: Relaunch Minecraft and use a connected gamepad to confirm that controller support is working.

This mod supports the gamepads for PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch. However, getting these controllers properly connected to one’s PC is a process the mod does not do for the player. On the other hand, once fans boot up Minecraft and enter the game, they should be able to utilize their gamepad immediately in the game. Modded controller support should also function in multiplayer online servers, meaning that while other users within a world are using a mouse and keyboard, the player can still use their controller to play and interact with the environment in Minecraft.
