[DEPRECATED] Epic Fight: Controlify
by Ellet
Epic Fight: Controlify, a deprecated bridge, lets players use a game controller with Epic Fight's combat, skills and dodge controls.
What it does
The mod links the Epic Fight combat system with Controlify, the controller support library, so the combat actions Epic Fight defines can be triggered from a gamepad. Its features include a double-jump called Phantom Ascent, a chargeable skill named Demolition Leap, a Guard skill, a Knockdown wake-up skill and a Dodge Step skill that can work with custom dodge skills added by Epic Fight addons. Weapon innate skills appear as tooltips in the inventory screen, and item switching or offhand swapping during combat is kept from happening by accident. Controlify: Forgified is required alongside Controlify and Epic Fight.
Epic Fight: Controlify is a client-side mod, so only the client needs it and the server can run without it. It is open source under the MIT License. Files exist for Forge and NeoForge, with the Forge build for 1.20.1 and the NeoForge build for 1.21.1. The author notes that the NeoForge line is the one to use with current Epic Fight, while the Forge build is kept for players still on legacy Forge until Epic Fight addons move to NeoForge. The project is marked deprecated, and its source code and issue tracker are public.
