What it does

The addon adds a controller that reads player input and sends it to Create contraptions. Input comes from GLFW, the input library Minecraft uses, so any device GLFW detects as a joystick can be read. Official gamepads such as Xbox and DualShock controllers are supported, and most third-party gamepads that GLFW maps as gamepads should also work. Keyboard keys, mouse buttons and cursor movement are supported as well. Joysticks, HOTAS units and racing wheels are expected to work, but the author notes that some may fail; an Xbox controller emulator is the suggested fallback. WiiMotes are not supported.

Input can be used as is with a gamepad, or routed from another source through the controller's settings. Devices that need it can be switched to advanced input mode. Installation needs Create, and the mod is published for Forge and NeoForge across four game versions. Installation covers the server and each player's game. The code is open source under the MIT License.

Key features

  1. Gamepad input

    Official and generic gamepads are read directly, with their axes and buttons available for contraption control.

  2. Keyboard and mouse input

    Keyboard keys, mouse buttons and cursor movement can drive a contraption without any extra device.

  3. Advanced input mode

    Devices detected as joysticks can be enabled in an advanced input mode, described in the project wiki.

  4. Network update limit

    Connecting one output to a gearshift can overload a Create network, and the mod disables that behavior in later builds.

Questions

Does Create: Tweaked Controllers need Create?

Yes. The addon is built for the Create mod and requires it to run its contraption controls.

Why might a joystick not work?

Joysticks must be detected by GLFW, and the author states some devices may still fail. A gamepad emulator can be used when a device is not read.
