Control Flex × Exposure

A compatibility bridge that tells ControlFlex when you look through an Exposure camera, so stick behavior switches correctly in the viewfinder.

What This Does

Without this mod, ControlFlex does not know the Exposure viewfinder is open — even with both mods installed. The viewfinder is an interactive overlay: it takes over look controls and hides most of the vanilla HUD, but it is not a screen, so ControlFlex cannot detect it the usual way.

This bridge hooks the viewfinder open/close paths and notifies ControlFlex through its interactive-context API.

The result: raising the camera switches to overlay stick behavior; lowering it, pressing ESC, or logging out restores normal sticks.

Features

• 📷 Viewfinder-aware stick switching — ControlFlex treats the Exposure viewfinder as an interactive overlay for as long as you are looking through the camera.
• 🔁 Paired open/close — every foreground notification has a matching background; a stray close with no active viewfinder is ignored.
• 🔄 Camera switching — swapping cameras emits background then foreground in that order, so stick mode does not get stuck.
• 🚪 Logout safety — if you disconnect while the viewfinder is still up, the bridge sends a final background notification and resets its state.
• ⌨️ Safe without ControlFlex — if ControlFlex is missing or not ready, the bridge no-ops instead of crashing.

Dependencies (Required)

Compatibility

• ✅ Works in singleplayer and multiplayer (client-side only).
• This bridge does one thing: viewfinder foreground/background. It does not add key configs, in-game guides, or extra Exposure features.

How It Works

Player raises the camera (Exposure)
                ↓
         cfx-compat-exposure (viewfinder open/close)
                ↓
         ControlFlex interactive-context API
                ↓
         Overlay stick behavior while looking through the viewfinder

A Mixin on Exposure's CameraClient.setupViewfinder / CameraClient.removeViewfinder (the two chokepoints of every open/close path) notifies ControlFlex with the viewfinder overlay class name. A small pairing flag prevents duplicate or unmatched background notifications.

Notes

• This mod is client-side only — it does not need to be installed on servers.
• Make sure ControlFlex detects your controller before entering a world.
• Install the JAR that matches your loader and Minecraft version (Fabric / Forge / NeoForge).
