About this project

What does GamePad+ add?

🎮 GamePad+ – Advanced Controller Support

GamePad+ takes controller support to the next level, offering a more natural and accessible experience for all players.

⚠️ ANTI-CHEAT DISCLAIMER:
Now that the mod is strictly client-side and allows you to join multiplayer environments, please note that we cannot guarantee how custom or aggressive third-party Server Anti-Cheats will react to the modified input handling. Use this mod on public servers at your own risk. The author takes absolutely no responsibility for any server-side bans, restrictions, or actions taken against your account.

⚙️ In-Game Settings Menu

The mod includes a dedicated configuration menu that can be opened by pressing Z (default keybind) on your keyboard. Through this menu, you can fully customize your experience:

  • Keybinds & Sensitivity: Rebind your controller buttons and tweak the camera movement speed to your liking.
  • Joystick Advanced Properties: Fine-tune your sticks by adjusting the deadzone (perfect for preventing stick drift) and toggling axis inversion.
  • General Options: Access miscellaneous settings to polish your gameplay feel.

This mod was inspired by memories from my childhood, when I used to play Minecraft on Xbox 360 and everything felt so intuitive with a controller.
Based on that idea, I decided to create a mod that brings real controller support to Minecraft Java Edition, with plans to expand it even further in the future.

Upcoming features include:

  • Other customizable parameters in the settings menu.
  • On-screen help with the buttons.
  • 3D projection of the player on the screen.
  • Simplified GUIs for vanilla blocks (like the crafting table), optimized for controller use

There is also a config file to change some parameters of the mod.
