Play any game with your Xbox 360 controller! Minecontrol converts joystick input into WASD keyboard pulses and mouse movements to maximize compatibility with any controller-disabled game!
Version 2 has been brewing for a long time and has taken a lot of previous comments into account – D-pad support, saveable settings, huge button mappings, and ability to turn off trigger buttons to name a few! This is the successor for Minecontrol for Minecraft v1.x.
Features:
- NEW: D-Pad mapping
- NEW: refreshed UI
- NEW: switch any button mapping to toggle mode (press once/hold key)
- NEW: disable the trigger buttons
- NEW: rearchitected for more fun
- Xbox 360 controller support (Windows, Mac OSX/Linux/alternate controllers experimental)
- Convert left joystick into WASD pulses, regulated by how much you push on the stick
- Convert right joytick into mouse movements, also regulated by how much you push on the stick
- Invert right joystick Y axis
- Convert the trigger joystick into mouse movements
- Map all controller buttons, joystick buttons, shoulders, to a huge set of available keyboard buttons or mouse commands
For more information visit www.joshjcarrier.com. Stay up to date with the latest version!
INSTALLATION
- Plug in your controller to your computer. Make sure your computer detects it!
- Visit http://update.joshjcarrier.com/minecontrol and run the Java Web Start (JNLP) file to run Minecontrol. Running from this URL or the placed desktop icon will keep you up to date with the latest version.
- Your Xbox controller should already be configured for use. Use the configuration panel to map keys to your likings! Enjoy!
UNINSTALLATION
- Uninstall from your OS control panel. This application uninstalls like any standard Java Web Start application.
Note: preferences are saved in your home directory, as .minecontrol2.txt.

What about v1.x?
This version will no longer be maintained. If you’d like to download it manually or view the source, visit http://bitbucket.org/joshjcarrier/minecontrol-for-minecraft.
Happy digging!
I just tried the app tonight – great work! There is one missing feature though that is keeping me from being able to use it – setting a “deadzone” for the thumbsticks and triggers. I’m guessing my controller is no longer tight as it once was and at rest will drift and occasionally the trigger appears “stuck”.
By: Mike on March 24, 2013

Oh, and can you allow Enter to be mapped? When you die you can move the mouse with the thumbstick but there doesn’t seem to be a way to click “respawn”

Help! I LOVE the app and can’t imagine playing without it but for some reason my left trigger (place block) is constantly getting ‘stuck’ and places many block in a row without pressing again. I have to hit it repeatedly until it becomes ‘unstuck’ It does it with all 3 controllers I have which are brand new and work flawlessly with the xbox- it’s quite a headache. Any ideas of what my issue may be? I don’t know what I can do- I did n’t have this problem with the original build.

I have the same problem that “Jake” posted about. My left trigger (place button gets stuck and places a ton of block constantly until i hit the trigger 2 or 3 more times to stop it. It is really annoying. I hope you can fix it. Other than that, this is a great app and I couldn’t play Minecraft without. Great job and thanks for your work!

A few bugs/comments:
1. “Look/Sensitivity” configuration is malfunctioning. Mouse sensitivity is the upper set of sliders, not the lower set as labeled. Nothing seems to affect movement sensitivity.
2. I think this issue is unavoidable as it is just caused by Minecraft having the player arm lag behind when moving the camera. There is a noticeable shakiness when camera panning, most noticeable by looking at the player’s arm/tool. I’ve noticed this with other joystick software, plus you can reproduce it with a mouse by doing quick stuttering movements. I’m thinking there might be a Minecraft mod to correct for this, I’ll check around and see if I can find anything.
3. I’d really like to be able to switch the functions of left and right joysticks, but at the moment they are read only.
By: Kris Weisshaupt on June 1, 2013
at 1:46 am
Hmm, I guess some of the camera shake is due to the polling rate of the joystick as well, as the background shakes too, just not as noticeable as the hand.

Does minecontrol work without internet cuz it wasn’t for me. I downloaded it, it worked great so I turned off my internet and then it wouldn’t work. When I clicked on it, it would pop up but where you choose your controller was blank and didn’t have any options. I eventually turned my internet on and it worked again. So is there a way around it because I use my phone’s hotspot and can’t keep it turned on all day since it drains my battery. Also I plan to get a desktop soon and it doesn’t have a wifi thing so I won’t be able to connect it to my hotspot.

Would it be possible to invert the mouse only in movement mode, but not in mouse mode? It feels rather awkward for the Y-axis to be inverted while moving something on the screen.
By: Joel on September 24, 2013
at 5:40 pm
Hey, this is really great, except for one BIG problem. The problem is not really with your controller software, but with the Minecraft setting that double-tapping W causes movement to go into Sprint. This happens ALL THE TIME. It’s probably a timing thing where the “pulse” turns into a double-tap. Is there a way to work around this? Maybe this is why Sean Hale asked if you can add a setting to turn off Pulse mode.

Just so you know, whenever I launch this, it says it will run, but that it will be locked in future versions of Java due to security or certificate issues. Hope there’s a fix for this, I love this app!

“Your security settings have blocked a self-signed application from running.”
Did I do something wrong? I didn’t think I could screw up three steps.

By: Yoshi on January 25, 2014

You can bypass “Your security settings have blocked a self-signed application from running.” by doing the following:
1: Visit http://update.joshjcarrier.com/
2: Right click on one of the Minecraft controls link and copy the URL.
3: Open Configure Java application, located in your Start Menu or Start Menu, All Programs.
4: In the Java Control Panel, click on Security.
5: Click on Edit Site List…
6: Click Add and click on the box that just appeared and paste in the URL. If a warning dialogue appears, click Continue.
7: Click OK and close the Java Control Panel and re-click on the URL that you copied earlier and open it.
8: Click on the check box and click on Run.
Now Minecraft controls will be running, so happy crafting. 🙂

Some friendly feedback. Seems like a great idea, i wish it worked for me.
I was hoping it would allow me to use the xbox controller for some KB/M-only games like GTA and Deus ex, but sadly no. I tried all 3 versions of Minecontrol. When it’s on it makes my mouse go all wonky, drifting all over the place. I can’t even control the mouse enough to close the program. At the same time, from within the game the xbox controller does not work as mapped. there is some input from the ABXY keys but not the main functions of Move with L joy and Look around with R joy. Perhaps the program is not meant to be used as I am trying to use it. or perhaps there is a simple solution, but without any help file or technical advice I cannot find it. Best wishes!

Well, after setting up the java security exception, downloading the Xbox 360 controller files and drivers from Microsoft, restarting, updating Java, and trying everything to make this work, Minecontrol simply does not recognize my Xbox360 controller. I plugged it into every USB on my computer, restarted the computer and the program every time, and nothing. It simply does not work for me. Such a shame, my WASD fingers are killing me and I thought this would be right up my alley. I even tried the old version to no avail. Yes, my controller shows up in the control panel, but not in MC. I give up.
By: Zakk on April 28, 2014

Hi all,
I managed to get it installed but it just goes crazy with the mouse – the slightest movement up or down on the right stick forces it to either look completely up or completely down.
I tried adjusting the sensitivity but that hasn’t helped, I also tried to calibrate my controller – same there too..
Any ideas?

If so, could you possibly make a download for windows 7?
By: Peter on May 6, 2014
at 4:53 pm
For those of you having issues with the left analog stick I found the issue right away. I noticed that the controls (on minecraft itself) were set to the directional buttons on my keyboard. If you cannot move the left stick go into the minecraft settings and be sure that the forward, backward, left, and right movement is set to the WSAD keys respectively. That will fix your movement issues.

Hello. Apparently a newer Java version is now fully blocking MineControl from running. Even lowering the security settings to “medium” (lowest I have) and adding its URL to the list of exceptions, every time I try to run it I get a “Unable to launch the application” dialog, where the details mention this exception:

Hello, I have a problem. When starting Minecontrol, I get an error. It says java.lang.StackOverflowError. Could you fix this, please?

The past couple of days I have tried using your app and every time I’ve tried opening it I get this error pop up ” application error. unable to launch application” I was wondering if you could help me. Heres whats under the details tab of the error
java.lang.StackOverflowError
at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method)
at com.sun.deploy.cache.CacheEntry.updateIndexHeaderOnDisk(UnkownSource)
it goes on and on but I would really like to know whats up with it and I keep my computer updated so that’s not this issue.
Please help.

I’ve been using Minecontrol for over a year, worked great. I really didn’t know how I was gonna play Minecraft because of this error. I started on the 360 and wanted more to do so I moved onto the pc, Minecontrol made that happen easily but because of this error i decided to pay the $10 and move on to Xpadder, it works well and has a lot more customizations.
By: nick on July 16, 2014

After giving things another try last night, I made the switch to xpadder. I try to be loyal to great products and programs, Minecontrol was awesome, but I guess it’s time to move on. Xpadder is $10, but you can pretty much customize the controller, buttons and setup any which way possible. Took about 15-20 minutes to get everything set the way I had it before. Felt good to be up and running again. 🙂 Sorry Minecontrol, we had a good run. 😦

Minecontrol was amazing up until a few days ago now I tried many things to try and resolve the problem and nothing works. So i went to xpadder it’s very customizable and easy to use. Goodbye 😞

Hi! Your plugin works great! However, I’d very much appreciate a zero-point slider for both sticks… You see, the xbox controllers are not very good so the sticks don’t stay exactly centred all the time. This causes a slow drift due to the right stick, and involuntary movements caused by the left one.
Logitech solves this adding a zero point config where you can give a range for each axis where there will be no input. Can you add that please?
Nice utility! Keep up the good work 😀

Guys i found a fix for the “security error”. Go to your start bar and type “configure java” and go to the security tab. Then go to the “edit site list…” button. Click “Add” and type in “http://update.joshjcarrier.com” and click OK. No java rollback needed!

Mouse scrolls all the way down, automatically. Finally got past the permission issue, but now the mouse just scolls all the way down on its own, soon as i start Minecontrol and move the xbox1 controller. Even if i try to move the pointer with the mouse, it will scroll down. Only way to stop is to close mincontrol…luckily i have a touch screen laptop
Any thoughts? I am using 8.1

i used minecontrol for awhile before the update and it worked well with minecraft, but not anymore. When i open minecontrol it works my xbox controller but as soon as i open minecraft it stops working. Please fix it. Should i just get the xpadder? Mostly asking that second question to anyone who has the same problem as me.

Well, it is really nice as I don’t have the Xbox 360 console, lolz. But the only problem is that because my controller is old, and the trigger is a little bit broken, so I guess this needs to have deadzone setting… If not then when pressing the left trigger it presses repeatedly xD

I solved the issue of minecraft not running because of the security issue. Just open the run box and type java. Select the security tab and slide the bar down. I purchase 3 different pc’s and have the same problem as everyone by the joystick going crazy after 10 minutes of play. Otherwise 2.0 works great. HELP. operating systems win 7 …win 8.0 …win 8.1 … Same crazy joystick problem. Help me …..

Any way you can add manual changes to the button mapping so missing keyboard commands can be added (like L Ctrl and R Ctrl) and profile support so other games could be added? I have been searching for a universal Xbox 360 to keyboard support software for a long time this one might be the best I have been able to try and use successfully.

Everyone go to your exceptions list and add this

and then click add and it will pop up saying are you sure click continue and there it will run
And Andrea Lynn it wont screw up your computer but you might have downloaded it from another source

I’m having troubles with the left trigger button acting like I’m holding it down. I’ll be laying blocks or fence or whatever and all of a sudden it starts spraying out blocks or whatever I’m placing like it’s a machine gun. It stops when I hit the left trigger button again, but I can’t figure out how to make it keep from happening. Can you please tell me what may be causing this? Any suggestions for a fix would be helpful.

While I love the idea of getting to play MC on my laptop, with my 360 controller, I am unable to use it… Everything else seems to work, except the walk function. Am I doing something wrong? Have I missed something? (both options are quite possible.) If so, is there someone who know what “something” I’ve missed/am doing wrong?

Having trouble with left trigger (right mouse button), after playing a little while it keeps placing blocks. It’s not the controller or computer. With other software has no problem just slow jerks, response delay. Is there a setting I should try to resolve the problem? For now it goes back to working ok after shut down game and re start minecraft, sometimes reboot computers.

So can I assume this software will not work unless we can get a download of Java 7? And that’s what causing all the problems running the software?
Adding firewall exceptions, Java security exceptions so and so forth but nothing seems to work – Don’t suppose you’ve produced an update for Java 8 yet?

Just a suggestion. The read-only mappings need to be configurable. I know this is weird but NOT everybody uses WSAD for forward, back, left, and right. As such, the Read-Only Mappings don’t work for me and thus I can’t use the xbox 360 controller without reverting back to default keybinding settings; which I cannot bring myself to do. I like the app otherwise.

I like the app, but it’s really limited with the key selection for the configuration page. I like to use my NumPad to play Minecraft with, using the “+” key to dig blocks and the “\” key (above Enter) to place blocks. The Enter key itself isn’t even an option. I’ll begrudgingly change my key config for Minecraft to get this darn app to work, but please consider adding the remainder of the keys as options for the config menu.

Would it really have been that hard to simply put “.JNLP” at the end of the download file so one could simply click on the file like your instructions say..? Little things that set apart professionals.
Also get your security license fixed so we don’t have to screw around with our settings. Had to make an exception for your website.

You need to open the configure java program in your start menu. Go to the security tab. Click edit site list and add http://update.joshjcarrier.com.
Run the downloaded java file again, and it should allow you to accept the security conditions.
