controller support on java edition

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

    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.

    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

    Seriously, this is a good idea.

    I just got a new controller for my PC, and I was surprised to find out that Minecraft didn't have proper controller support for Java Edition. I think at the very least, they could have Xbox controller support for plug-in controller play.

    When playing minecraft, I feel that I do best every time when playing with a controller. PvP? Best with a controller (by a lot). Building? Easiest with a controller. Basically any aspect of Minecraft can be made easier, more comfortable, or faster with a controller. I strongly support this as an update for Minecraft.

    Bought the Java version before I even checked... would not have bought it had I known it did not have controller support. I like to relax when I play... controllers are comfortable and I can lean back. Keyboard and mouse may be more accurate, but it is not relaxing.
