Hi good question community! I have a very simple question (this time): can I play with a controller in the Java Edition of Minecraft if this is connected by cable? If so, how do I set Minecraft to recognize your movements?
No, unfortunately that is not possible, only with a mod.
Yes! Can you… You have to download the Laby mod (only available for 1.8.9 and 1.12.2) and there's a controller setting! The mod also has other very useful features and is used 1/3 on German PVP servers.
YES at labymod there's a kind of small mod that allows you to use your XBOX controller
