Controlify brings controller-based play to Minecraft Java, aiming to let players handle gameplay, menus, inventories, chat, and modded screens without relying on a keyboard or mouse. It supports gamepads and joysticks across Windows, Linux, and macOS, identifies many common controllers such as Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, and Steam Deck models, and provides matching button glyphs and controller-specific defaults. Players can remap controls, use gyro aiming for finer movement, and configure vibration for events such as taking damage, breaking blocks, or lightning strikes; compatible DualSense controllers also support HD haptics and adaptive trigger effects. A configurable radial menu puts less-used actions, including modded keybinds, within reach, while contextual button guides show relevant controls and inventory cursor snapping makes container screens easier to navigate. An on-screen keyboard supports typing in Minecraft text fields, including chat, and the settings screen provides straightforward options with sensitivity defaults intended to feel familiar to Bedrock players. Resource packs can customize controller definitions, glyphs, default bindings, button guides, keyboard layouts, and radial-menu icons, while other mods can add controller support for their own screens and features. Controlify also accommodates non-standard devices such as flight sticks and racing wheels, which can be mapped as gamepads or given custom bindings and glyphs; it is designed to work with modded setups including Sodium, Iris, Simple Voice Chat, and Do A Barrel Roll.
Written from Modrinth and CurseForge . How we write it
Changes the game's code in 8 areas, as a library other mods build on: User interfaceChanges 43 game code files in this area: menus, screens, tooltips, the chat window and the in-game overlay., Game optionsChanges 10 game code files in this area: settings, key bindings and the option screens., Mobs and their behaviorChanges 4 game code files in this area: mobs, animals, villagers, projectiles and how they move and act., PlayerChanges 3 game code files in this area: your character: movement, abilities, hunger and controls., Rendering and graphicsChanges 3 game code files in this area: drawing mobs, items, particles and textures on screen., Networking and multiplayerChanges 1 game code file in this area: connections, the server list and what is sent between your game and a server., Game coreChanges 1 game code file in this area: the main loop, lighting and other code the whole game uses. and World renderingChanges 1 game code file in this area: drawing the terrain, sky, clouds and weather..
A library packed inside it changes 1 more game code file: YetAnotherConfigLib.
Adds 1 sound: Controlify Ui Focus.
Counted from the names and data files in the mod, so the list may not be complete.
Keeps all of vanilla Minecraft's textures, models and sounds.
No harmful code found
We checked its files and read their code, without running it.
The author declares on Modrinth that this mod interacts with your system outside the game.
Why we show this: a mod runs on your computer like any program, so harmful code in it can take your accounts or files. Our checks look for known signs of harm. They cannot prove that a file is harmless. In the grade: malware means no grade, and a Warning in a latest file for a recent Minecraft version lowers it.
Sends what you type in its screens
Sent to api-controlify.isxander.dev.
Only some of its files send what you type in its screens.
We found this in its code, read without running it.
Why we show this: a mod can send things about you over the internet, like your player name or your login. Contacting an address to check for updates or download files sends nothing about you. Not in the grade: sending data can be normal for what a mod does.
No sign that AI was used to make it
We looked for AI tools in its texts, files, images, sounds and code history and found none.
No sign of AI in the game
We found no AI service, AI library or AI model file in its code.
Why we show this: some players and servers avoid projects made with AI, and AI in the game can send what you write to an online service. Not in the grade: using AI does not tell whether a project works well or is kept up to date.

These projects do not work together with Controlify (Controller support): their authors or the author of Controlify (Controller support) say so. If you install both, the game can crash or some features can stop working. Some of them do the same job as Controlify (Controller support), so you only need one.
