XInput Mod

by xvx

XInput Mod gives Minecraft 1.4.7 native Xbox and XInput controller support, so a gamepad can drive gameplay and the menus.

What it does

Analog movement uses the left stick, and the standard controller buttons cover sprinting, jumping, sneaking and attacking with held items. The D-pad and shoulder buttons handle hotbar cycling and inventory actions, while a free cursor controlled by the left stick moves through menus and storage screens. Clicks and drag gestures are assigned to buttons as well.

The mod is built around JInput and JXInput for input handling: JInput is bundled with LWJGL and works across platforms, while JXInput covers Windows cases where JInput fails. Installation means placing the file in the mods folder of a Forge 1.4.7 setup. Controller support can be turned off through a config option, and the mod is open source under the MIT License.
