About
LambdaControls expands Minecraft input options with controller support, configurable controls, and touchscreen support that is described as experimental. It supports DualShock, Xbox, Switch Pro, and Joy-Con controllers, and lets users add mappings for controllers whose buttons are not recognized correctly. Keyboard controls can be used to look around, while a toggleable on-screen indicator shows button prompts in a Bedrock Edition-inspired style. Gameplay options include front block placement for bridging, vertical reach-around to place blocks below the one the player is standing on, fast block placement while flying, and controls for disabling flight drift. Servers can disallow the special placement features, allowing administrators to control whether they are available in multiplayer. A virtual mouse can also be used with two Minecraft clients at once, so interacting with one client’s inventory need not pause the other.

No harmful code found
It has no file for a recent Minecraft version. This is about its files for Minecraft 1.15 to 1.18.
We checked its files without running them.
What it can do on your computer
- Uses folders outside the game
- It can read or write files outside your Minecraft folder, on the rest of your computer. Found: your user folder.
- Creates settings files
- The mod keeps its settings in the config folder of your game, where you can change or delete them. 2 files in your config folder.
- Connects to the internet
- It has code that can go online, for example to check for updates, load skins or send crash reports. Found in code libraries built into it and in SpruceUI, a library it includes. See Privacy
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.
How we checked
- FilesWe download the files from Modrinth or CurseForge and look at what is inside them and what their code can do, without running them. Fixed rules tell what is harmful.6 latest files: the newest file for each Minecraft version and loader. None is for a recent Minecraft version, so the answer above is about all of them. Recent versions: those released in the last 2 years, plus 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, among the most played in modpacks. See each file in Releases
- Their codeWe turn the code of the files back into readable code and follow what it does, without running it. This shows what it downloads, what it sends and where your login goes.Read in 5 of 6 files, without running it
- Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth, where the author declares that the project reads or edits things on your system outside the game. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when this applies.Nothing declared about your system outside the game.
- Looked for, not foundWe looked for these in the file and did not find them.Other programs, updating itself, the webcam or microphone, an AI service.
Privacy
We found nothing it sends, in the 5 of its 6 files we read
It has no file for a recent Minecraft version. This is about its files for Minecraft 1.15 to 1.18.
We read its code without running it: it contacts no web address while you play.
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.
How we checked
- Files readWe read the code without running it. We list each web address the code contacts while you play, and what it sends. Code that is never used is left out.The code of 5 of 6 files, for Minecraft 1.15 to 1.18. See each file in Releases
- Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth, where the author declares crash reports, usage data and advertisements. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when a project collects data on its users or shows advertisements.Nothing declared about crash reports, usage data or advertisements.
AI
No sign so far that AI was used to make it
We looked for AI tools in its texts, files and images and found none.
We have not read its code history yet.
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.
How we checked
- Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when a substantial part of the code is AI output, when an asset is mainly AI output, or when the project or its page relies on generative AI.No AI content or AI features declared.
- Code historyThe public code on GitHub: who made each change, credit lines such as "Co-authored-by", and its files.Not read yet
- Description and changelogsThe description, project page and newest changelogs: sentences saying an AI tool was used, and text pasted from an AI chat.Nothing found2 of 26 changelogs read
- Its filesFiles that AI coding tools leave behind (like AGENTS.md), and the texts inside the files you download.Nothing found
- Images in its filesHidden data in the images of the files you download, where AI image tools write their name and settings.Nothing found6 images read

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