Vossler's Controller Mod
by VosslerWeiss
Vossler's Controller Mod adds gamepad support to Minecraft 1.12.2 Forge, with an option to invert the left and right sticks and another to switch controller vibration on or off.
What it does
Controller input is read on 1.12.2 through the Forge loader, and the mod can be set from the Options menu or from its own config screen found in the Controls section. Vibration is on by default and can be turned off in the same place, while the stick inversion option swaps the left and right stick mappings for in-game movement and mouse-style camera control.
The author describes the project as a first Minecraft mod that is still in early development and may be finicky to use. It works with controllers and with the vibration feature on 1.12.2, and the author notes that other controller mods work on that version as well. The source is released under the MIT License but is not open source, and it was built on the CleanroomMC template.
Installation requires Forge for 1.12.2 only, and the mod runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. The latest Forge file is 1.0.6 for 1.12.2, published on 2026-07-30, after a first release on 2026-03-30.
Key features

Config access
Settings are reached from the Controls menu or the Options menu, and the mod's toggles appear in its config screen.
Built on CleanroomMC

Use cases
Who it’s for: Players on Minecraft 1.12.2 with Forge who want controller support. Because the mod is early in development and the author calls it finicky, it suits players who accept some rough edges.
How it compares
TouchController is a Fabric, Forge and NeoForge mod for 1.12.2 – 26.3, client-side only and open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later, so it is not limited to Forge. OneMoreAudioController is a Forge-only client-side mod for 1.20.1 under All rights reserved, which means it does not run on 1.12.2 and is not open source.

A controller mod for minecraft 1.12.2. Only for forge users. Other controller mods did not work for me so I made this for myself. Its here incase someone else wants to use it, but the other mods should be better than this. This is my first minecraft mod. If your left/right stick mappings are not correct or controls…
