What it does

Controlify gives the controller keybinds that the bridge maps onto Pixelmon functions. Players can send out a party member, select the next or previous one, trigger a party action, cycle external moves, and start Pixelmon's battle spectate action, all without reaching for a keyboard.

Pixelmon screens are reachable from the controller as well, including the Pokedex, the summary, Research, Day Care, the Trainer Card and the wiki. The mod is a client-side compatibility project, not an official release, and it is open source under the MIT License, with its source code and issue tracker public. Its only published file targets NeoForge for 1.21.1.

Pixelmon and Controlify are both required dependencies, so both must be installed alongside the bridge on the client. Environment is client-side only, so servers run without it and players join without installing anything.
