How To Play Minecraft with A Controller on PC (Java Edition 1.19)

Minecraft java edition is arguably better than bedrock edition because of its amazing mod support however some people prefer or have to play games with the controller whether it’s for a disability reason or whether it’s for the fact they just prefer it you need this to be able to play a game

Well this video and this mod controllable from mr crayfish kind of allows that it allows you to use one of three controllers an xbox one controller like i have here a sony ps4 controller or a switch pro controller to play minecraft java edition and honestly it’s really cool it has things

Like on-screen button hints and the ability to remap every single button and a new radial menu that binds multiple actions into one button it’s really great for accessibility and that’s what i love so much about controllable here but uh we’re going to show you exactly

How to get it in this video first thing you want to do is go to the second link in the description down below and that will take you here this is the controllable download page where we want to come over here to the right-hand side and scroll down to the minecraft 119

Section then click on the controllable download file button here to the right of this version that little download file button click on that and the download will begin right like so now after a few seconds the download will come and the bottom left of minecraft

Right there it is in the bottom left you may need to keep or save this file depending on your browser before we move on to getting forwards though we do have to keep the lights on around here so thanks to apex minecraft hosting for sponsoring this video go to the first

Link down below the breakdown dot xyz slash apex to start your very own 24-hour ddos protected minecraft server we host all of our minecraft servers on apex minecraft hosting they’re truly the best host around that’s why we recommend them and work with them so check out

Apex again the first link down below the breakdown to xyz slash apex to get your server up and running nevertheless control was downloaded but we need forge forge is the mod loader that allows controllable to work in minecraft so you can find forge in the description down

Below of course and it will take you here where we can scroll down and click on the green download forge button by the way this is our in-depth guide for forge so did you have any issues this is where you can come to look now let’s go

And click on the download forge button there to go off to ford’s official download page where we want to make sure mc1.19 is selected as you can see it’s not so we want to click on 119 on the left hand side and then click on 119

Again once you do see mc119 there come under download latest and click on installer now stop don’t click anything on this page whatsoever not a single thing on this page whatsoever just wait 10 seconds just wait 10 seconds when you land on ad focus when you see this bar

Up at the top up here wait 10 seconds then after 10 seconds a red skip button will appear click on that red skip button in the top right and forge will download the bottom left you may need to keep or save this file depending on your browser let’s go ahead and minimize our

Browser and then we need to move these files to our desktop to do that click the little windows icons in the top of my screen probably in the bottom of your screen or bottom center of your screen on windows 11 type in downloads in this downloads file folder write like so and

Then in here you will find forged and controllable move these to your desktop and then once these are on your desktop we’re going to start off with forge right click on forge click open with click java and click ok but nick i don’t have java here or my icons are broken

They don’t look like this what do i do well in that case you want to go and download java 17. java 17 is required for not only controllable but any minecraft java edition mod or starting a minecraft server that’s why this is how to download install java 4 minecraft

Servers and mods because both require java 17. now for most of you you’ll be able to open up forge at that point but for some you’ll still need to run the jar effects it’s going to take all the jar files and computer and link them

Back to java this is what will fix the jar files and make them actually look like jar files right it’ll give them this jar logo nevertheless though we can now right click on forge click on open with click java and click ok that will open up the mod system installer where

You want to click on install client and click ok and now download install setup do everything you need to do to get forge up and running in minecraft 1.19 just kind of sit back and wait while it’s doing this no we can do to speed it

Up we just have to wait but once it does finish you will get a successfully installed client profile forwards for version 119. keep in mind though keep in mind that if you don’t see this you probably need to play minecraft 1.19 with no mods or anything like that just

Open it up to the main menu and close out of it and then you’ll be good to go once you do that you’ll be able to come back install forwards like we just did and click ok now let’s go ahead delete forge from our desktop and install

Controllable to do that you want to go ahead and open up the minecraft launcher and before you hit the play button you want to make sure that forge is selected now for me it’s automatically selected as you can see right there it is if it’s not for you click this little arrow and

Select forge from this list but nick forge isn’t in that list well in that case don’t worry click on installations and make sure modded is checked in the top right you can see check modded there’s forge click play click play again however if you still don’t have

Forge here or you don’t have the 119 version of forge click new installation i’m going to go ahead and name this minecraft forge 119 right like so and then click on this version drop down box in this drop down box we want to select forge 119 so release 119 forge right

Like so then we’re going to go ahead and change the resolution i’m going to change that to 1920×1080 as you can see you don’t have to change your resolution i’m just doing it so we can see once we get in game the most important part of this page is

Having a version forward selected click create in the bottom right and now we have this minecraft forge 119 profile we can click play and then click play again to open up minecraft with forge that’s the hard part that’s the hard part of installing controllable the easy part is

Installing it right it’s actually adding it to minecraft the hardest part is getting forge and minecraft open once minecraft is open with forge you’ll have this mods tab here this mods button click on this mods button and then click open mods folder in the bottom left now

I still have just enough items installed from a previous tutorial sorry about that we can delete it but what you want to do is drag and drop controllable from your desktop into this mods folder now when you do that and come back to minecraft controllable won’t be here

What you want to do is close out of minecraft and then open up minecraft again with forge 119 right you want to make sure forge 119 is the profile you’re playing as you can see right there it is 119 under it click play click play again and now minecraft will

Open up with controllable so at this point we can actually switch to the controller here now this controller uh how should i how should i put this it is a bit beaten up right this is a very old controller for me and unfortunately if uh the usb is uh connected wrong it just

Disconnects completely from my computer but i’m gonna try my best to keep my face cam here as well as uh as well as minecraft up maybe we can kind of zoom in on the bottom right of the screen or something like that so you can see the

Face cam a bit larger as well as see minecraft but once we join on in controllable should kind of be active right away right we should automatically be able to use this and boom there you go you can see i am moving this around here i’m just gonna move the mouse off

The screen so you can really see what i’m talking about there it is it’s moving around so let’s say we want to play multiplayer we click on multiplayer here and we could move this on up to play.breakdowncraft.com and kind of select it once come down to

Join server and click join server so now we’re joining breakdown crap this is our minecraft server you can play on it survival it’s awesome but we’re now moving around with our controller on breakdown craft and uh some mods aren’t allowed on breakdown crap this one is

Both you can use this mono problem so we want to drink a night mission potion we can do that we can also do things like build right so we can go ahead and uh that’s bedrock we don’t want to do that let’s go ahead and just uh place this down because we’re in

Spawn and most people can’t build here but we can place that down and then we can also break it unfortunately i don’t have anything to break it with but we can break it you can also see in the bottom left it’s prompting us to hit y

To open our inventory let’s go ahead and do that and as you can see here is our inventory we can click on things and drag them from where they are to where we want them to be for example we don’t want this in our our hot bar i’m

Guessing so we can move this over here right like so and uh yeah that’s how you can get that going we can hit y to close the inventory and now here we are we have our sword we can uh go do some pvp if we want to so awesome stuff there

This is how you can use this mod in minecraft we can also go ahead and disconnect and you can use this in single player you’re not limited to just multiplayer for this right so if we go up here to single player and then we join into this world right here we have

To use this as well that’s right so it’s wherever you want to use it you can use it which is what’s really really cool about this it works in everything multiplayer all this stuff so right here it is and you can run around you can do

All sorts of stuff move around you can move through your inventory using the bumpers it’s the exact same control set as uh you know default controls and uh bedrock edition right so really really cool stuff there um yeah i don’t have i don’t have anything if you

Want to fly you can double tap a it just works and and that’s what i think amazes me the most about this is it just works so awesome stuff there that’s how you can use a controller in minecraft java edition if you have any questions let us know in the comments of

Course and uh that’s how you can yeah get that go up and running it’s just an amazing mod i wanted to share it and i hope you enjoy it as well see in the next video i’m out peace
