About this project
What does Controlify: Forgified add?
🎮 Controlify: Forgified
A simple, and unofficial port of Controlify, made for Forge 1.20.1.
The goal is to make it "just work" without crashes or critical issues. The newer features, such as split-screen or data-driven button guides, are not included.
This port is based on v2.1.2 for Fabric 1.20.1, with manual backports of some changes from Controlify 2.4.2 and additional adjustments needed to make it work on MinecraftForge platform.
Note: Unlike the official Controlify mod,
this backport does not support on-screen Controlify data-driven button guides,
as it is an unofficial backport of an older Controlify version.
📦 Required Dependencies
Make sure you have these mods installed:
✅ Compatible mods
Use the most up-to-date versions for the best experience. Some of the compatibilities were added recently.
- Epic Fight - Fully compatible in collaboration with the Epic Fight project authors.
- Epic Fight - Invincible Lib
- Epic Fight - Sword Soaring
- Weapons of Miracles - Works well with 2.0+.
- FancyMenu
- Simple Voice Chat
- P1nero's Dialogue Lib
❌ Incompatible mods
- lazyyyyy - There is a known issue that causes the game to freeze when using the YACL config screen of Controlify. Consider trying this workaround to fix.
🐞 Bug Reports
This is not an official port, so any issues should not be reported to the original project.
Please submit them to this GitHub repository instead.
Note that we do not plan to add any features such as Controlify split-screen integration.
🧰 Maintenance
Many mods still target Forge 1.20.1. This port makes Controlify usable in those modpacks, though support will eventually end once most mods move to NeoForge.
We recommend starting to adapt to NeoForge or Fabric to avoid breakage, as Controlify only supports those platforms. We did not focus much on code quality or work polish.
That said, the port was not entirely straightforward and still required testing, effort, and time.
🏆 Credits
This project is an unofficial backport based on the original work by isXander.
Without their valuable work, this port would not exist.
