Initial public release of BetterController.

 

Client-side Fabric mod that lets you play Minecraft Java 1.21.11 with any gamepad. Lightweight, zero-allocation in the steady-state tick loop.

 

FEATURES

  • - Analog look + movement: per-axis deadzone, anti-deadzone, configurable response curve, adaptive smoothing.
  • - Full controller-driven GUI navigation: widgets, inventory slots, creative tab cycling (RB/LB), right stick analog scroll, virtual keyboard for chat.
  • - In-game settings screen with 5 sliders (deadzone, sensitivity X/Y, look speed, trigger threshold). Everything else lives in config/bettercontroller.json.
  • - Debug overlay (F8).
  • - Creative double-tap A toggles flight reliably.
