After the legacy console edition of minecraft was replaced with the bedrock edition, many players just hated it. Since it was so similar to the java edition, adding controller support exctly like the one in that version to java edition "wood" be incredible
We welcome feedback about menus, toggles on menus, buttons on menus, input devices (like touch controls and keyboards), and Minecraft’s interface. How do you play? What would make it better?

Yes, that's a really good idea!!
Especially if you could customize the controller controls like you currently can customize the keyboard controls (when a controller is connected/detected).
If this gets done you could imagine connecting a pc to a television to emulate the Console Edition experience with the Java Edition. It may even inspire to make the Java Edition playable on the Xbox One X, or at least inspire to support the Console Edition a little longer on Xbox One or expand the 'Bedrock Edition' with options on the Xbox One for being like the Console Edition. Whatever this may lead to, an awesome idea!
We can keep dreaming but Microsoft basically wants you to stop using the Java version and get the Windows 10 edition. That way you will have to stick with Windows as well.
I'm a Linux user and would love controller support. It has been done previously with mods and therefor it is possible to do.
Running Linux, with the Steam Controller. Work like a charm.
This has less votes than expected. I know more than forty somewhat people want Controller support.
I wanted this to be added to java for a long time and now it's the right time to do it with 1.14. #ControllerForJava
