Desktop (please complete the following information):

  • OS: MacOS
  • Minecraft 1.21.5
  • Modloader Fabric installer 1.0.1
  • Fabric/Quilt Libraries fabric api 0.126.0+1.21.5
  • Mods MidnightControls 1.11.0 - Fabric 1.21.5
  • Version (not sure what this means)

Additional context I have already restarted everything, downloaded the newest java, tried connecting my controller before and after going into minecraft, made sure the mode was set to controller and that my controller was connected, and have already gone into the gamepad tool to map my controller + copied the map string and set as environmental variable, but nothing has worked.

Does the controller GUID in the mapping string match the one MidnightControls shows below?

yes it does, it's the same one I copied from the gamepad mapping thing, at least I think, I'm not entirely sure what GUID is

i got the sdl2 gamepad tool to try and see if it worked but nothing happened when I pasted the mapping string. in fact, when i closed out and went back in, the mapping string disappeared. it shows that the controller is there (as in, the buttons showing jump or inventory are there) but the controller itself isn't working. The GUIDs match and nothing is indicated as orange.

I'm also having this same issue but with the 8bitdo "Ultimate C Wired" Controller (it's a hall-effect thumbstick controller), on Linux.

The controller works for basically every game (on Steam), but using both the GamepadTool and AntimicroX to copy and paste mappings and pressing the "reload" button doesn't seem to do anything.

Actually, I didn't notice that there's a template specifically for controllers, so I'm moving my own issue over there:
