1. Minecraft Java Xbox Controller Support
2. Minecraft Java Xbox Controller Mod

MCJoypad Mod 1.12.2/1.11.2 allows you to control the game with the USB input controller. Besides the obvious benefit of playing the Minecraft with the controller, you can also use it to play split screen. You run the multiple instances of the game, each in it's own window. Joypad Mod supports focus-less input, so you can have as many windows as you want (or as many as your PC can handle). This is new version of Joypad mod.

Seriously, this is a good idea. I just got a new controller for my PC, and I was surprised to find out that Minecraft didn't have proper controller support for Java Edition. I think at the very least, they could have Xbox controller support for plug-in controller play. I noticed a lack of support for controller for the Java Edition of Minecraft, this is where Controllable comes in. Controllable adds that ability into the game. This mod has been heavily influenced by the controls in the Bedrock Edition of the game, however it is much more configurable (coming soon) and supports more controllers (coming soon)!

Features:

• As many as your PC can handle. Depends also on your screen space. Playing in a tiny window is not fun. Big screens and multiple monitors really help though.
• If you want to play online you need a separate account for each player. If you play locally you need only one account, other players can choose the option 'Work offline' when starting the game.
• One player can use keyboard + mouse combination, others have to use a controller. Alternatively, all people can play with the controller. Mouse is not needed anymore, but you might need a keyboard to enter the address of a server if playing online.

One of the biggest differences between the Minecraft Java version, and the Minecraft Bedrock/UWP version is controller support. The Minecraft Java version does not support controllers while the UWP version has support out of the box with options to customize the controls.

Minecraft Java Xbox Controller Mod

Minecraft, when played on a PC, may work best if you play it with a keyboard and mouse but everyone has their own preference when it comes to controlling a game.

Play Minecraft Java with Xbox controller

In order to play Minecraft Java with an Xbox controller you need an app that can run in the background and transmit the controller's input to the game, and you need to configure it so that the controls are transmitted correctly.

1. Install Steam

Steam has excellent controller support; it can support generic gamepads, PS4 controllers, and Xbox controllers. You can use this method to connect and use just about any controller with Minecraft Java.

1. Open Steam.
2. Sign in with your Steam account (it's free).
3. Go to Steam>Settings.
4. Select the Controller tab.
5. Click ‘General controller settings'.
6. Enable support for your Xbox controller.

2. Add Minecraft to Steam library

Terraria games online. You must have Minecraft Java already installed on your Windows 10 system to proceed.

1. Open Steam.
2. Go to Games>Add a non-Steam game to My Library.
3. Select the Minecraft Launcher.
4. Click ‘Add selected programs'.

FYI: you can also add Microsoft Store games to your Steam library.

3. Configure Xbox controller for Minecraft Java

This will take a little time since you have to configure each control set but you only have to do it once.

1. Connect your Xbox controller to your Windows 10 system.
2. Open Steam.
3. Go to Library.
4. Select Minecraft.
5. Click Controller Configuration.
6. Select each of the control items, joysticks, keypads, etc, one by one, and map it to a keyboard control. To use the left joystick to move, configure it as a ‘Directional pad', and map it to the WASD keys. To use the right joystick to pan with the camera, map it as Joystick mouse. You will have to manage the sensitivity to suit yourself.
7. When you're done configuring the controller, click the green Play button under Minecraft in Steam.
8. The game will open and you will be able to use your controller to play it.

Note: Controller configurations can be changed any time, and reset to default. These settings are only for Minecraft Java. No other games will comply with these configurations.

Conclusion

Steam isn't the only app you can use to add controller support to Minecraft Java. There are other apps, some free, some paid, that do the job but their configuration controls may be limited. Give Steam a try before you opt for other apps.
