LambdaControls
A Fabric mod which adds better controls and controller support.
Quick answer
Which LambdaControls release should I use?
LambdaControls 1.7.1 (1.17-1.18) targets 1.17.1, 1.17, 1.18 with Fabric. The project page does not say whether this file belongs on the client, dedicated server, or both. 1 required mod needs a matching file.
Where it goes
Is LambdaControls required on the client, server, or both?
The project page does not say whether this file belongs on the client, dedicated server, or both.
The source does not explicitly classify this release as client-only or server-only.
What else does LambdaControls 1.7.1 (1.17-1.18) need?
LambdaControls 1.7.1 (1.17-1.18). Change the file and its required mods may change too.
Install Fabric API first, but 1 required mod has no matching file for this setup. Do not mix loader builds to force a match.
We only count dependency files that match this setup. A file for another loader does not fill the gap.
