PE Controls For Java

by Mightyyy

PE Controls for Java lets players aim with a free cursor on Java Edition, following the touch-style controls of Minecraft PE and Bedrock.

FabricClient-side onlyMIT License1.20.1 – 1.20.6

What it does

Rather than locking aim to the middle of the screen, PE Controls allows the player to move a free cursor and choose blocks or entities wherever they appear on screen. Fabric API is required. The mod is client-side only, so servers do not need it, and it is released under the MIT License, though it is not open source. Files exist for 1.20.1 – 1.20.6, with 1.0 for 1.20.6 as the latest Fabric file.

Key features

  1. Free cursor aiming

    The cursor can point at any block or entity on screen, not only the one under the center crosshair.

  2. Touch-style interaction

    Aiming follows the touch-style approach of Minecraft PE and Bedrock, which players coming from those editions may already know.

  3. Normal Java movement

    Walking, looking and jumping keep the standard Java Edition controls, and only block targeting changes.
