Controlify

Adds advanced controller support to Minecraft: Java Edition

minecraft popular

Controlify is one of my most advanced mods yet. Minecraft: Java Edition has been missing controller support for a long time, and this mod fixes that. I have learnt the ways of Java Native Access (JNA) to interface with SDL3 to get controller input. This may not be my most popular mod, but I see it to be my proudest and most advanced.
It includes support for advanced controller features such as gyro and vibration, and has helped parents get their kids into modded Minecraft with an easier-to-use input scheme.
