A big thanks to the developer of this mod! It's allowing my son and I to play together.
In 1.7.10, I've run into a problem using Cuchaz Ships Mod. I can get the ship all set up no problem and Launch it. The problem is when I attempt to use the ship's helm. The Joypad mod treats it as if I'm accessing an inventory. And what happens is that my stick that I use to move around is disabled from moving controls, to moving the reticle around as if I'm accessing a chest or box or something.
What this means is that I can't pilot the ship. I've tried to remap my keys. I've tried mapping WASD to the dpad. But, that doesn't work either. I'm hoping there is something I can alter in the config file for Joypad mod.
One can use the Steam client (has a built in Gamepad mapper) to open Minecraft (or Twitch or whatever you use), which is very easy once you learn how to do it, but it naturally hogs a bit of the computers resources since you'll be having the Steam client running and the Steam Overlay (needed for the controller mapping) active, but for me that is kind of ok, (I only use the Twitch client mod pack thingie nowadays anyway), since putting together my own modpack and/or keeping track of this and that mod makes me all OCD and I forget to actually play, lel.
Absolutely nothing meant against this mod, I'm just putting this out there, in case it proves useful to someone (especially since the mod isn't always compatible with other mods or modpacks, from what I've gathered).
Gotta say, I was hoping this Steam feature would be good enough to replace this joypad mod at least for the game controller side of things.
But it really isn't.
Steam *does* now let you use a controller in Minecraft without other mods or 3rd party tools, even a DS4 without needing DS4Windows. But you still can't get it to control like a console controller. Simple changes for controllers that the consoles have, like using the left stick to move the cursor, being able to hit B / circle to exit menus, and especially the X, Y / square, triangle shortcuts when in inventories, or even simply being able to press A / X to click anything instead of having to right-trigger everything... are all things the Steam tool can't apply since it's just faking the mouse.
It's acceptable when there's no other option, which is the situation at the moment for those wanting to play 1.13 before the mod scene catches up (so I'm thankful for the tip, SwedishDragon). Thanks to Steam's tool I can play 1.13 via LAN with a friend who only wants to use a controller. But it's an ugly alternative and I basically came to this thread to ask if the mod author is still keen on updating this mod for 1.13, when that becomes possible.
(Plus playing via LAN with a laptop is not as good as one modern PC running 2 instances with this mod.)
For the people who use it, this is really a mod that's very hard to live without.
Hello! I am using the 1.7.10 version of the joypad mod to play with my SO and it works really well, except for the unfortunate fact that the chatpad (for the Xbox one controller) only works on the screen that is "Active", meaning that it only works on the window that I am using. (I am the one with the keyboard and mouse, so this is quite pointless) Is there a fix to this? I would like for her to be able to use her chatpad as if she had a keyboard, so that she may use NEI and use server commands\have more keys to work with with keybinds and such.
We play with 2 windows open all the time with an xbox controller and no problems and the other person uses the keyboard and mouse.
Have you tried going to the controls button when you push escape? At the top you should have a button that will allow you to change the controller that you use.
You would have the second window change their control then to allow the xbox controller.
If you've done that already and it doesn't work, then I really don't know what else to do except to check to make sure the controller is plugged correctly into the computer. Mine uses a USB port.
The contoller works fine, it is just that the chatpad connected to it only works on the active window (The one that already has a keyboard). So that means that my SO can use the controller, but not the chatpad connected to it, because when she uses the chatpad, (Ex: to press T and open chat) it just opens chat on my screen and nothing happens on her screen. Although, whenever she is the only one playing, she can use the chatpad just fine.
I tried this and it worked nearly flawlessly, however. Second player is taking more damage than normal and his game is near unplayable because of it. How do I fix this issue?
The controller only works when the window has focus.
Meaning I can't use it to play with multiple people (why I used it).
Really weird since I know it's worked before. Even with no other mods added, it still doesn't work. I have a feeling it has something to do with windows 10, because last time i used it was on windows 8.

Just tested the 1.11 version, and that one does seem to work properly, aside from assigning new keys (only works if you create a new custom key)
Just tested the latest 1.7.10 version, JoypadMod-1.7.10-10.13.4.1614-1.7.10, and that doesn't work either, so it seems to be 1.7.10 as a whole that doesn't work. Really hope you can find a patch, because a lot of mods and modpacks didn't make it out of 1.7.
I am very grateful for this mod though, it allows me friends and i to all play together on one computer!
A lot of the buttons when I try to map them simply show up as "Unknown+" and as a result don't work. This is on Linux, using 1.11.2. It's a Fake PS3 controller (SHANWAN PS3 GamePad). Using xboxdrv causes me to not be able to map the buttons at all.
I understand that steam has controller support build in to the steam software but the controller mapping you can't set certain buttons in certain menus like in JoyPad Mod, example certain menus buttons that do other things in that menu now do entirely new things and in steam you can't set this up, although steam has the 8way overlay which allows you to run and strife at same time which is very useful against mobs chasing you
the ability for certain button to act different in different menus is worth it, better than steam controller mapping (don't like using half controller and half keyboard if it can be fixed
Please JOYPAD MOD please put in an 8 way overlay for the movement controller is we can run and strife at same time PLZ!
Also really looking forward to 1.13, 1.13.1, 1.13.2 updates plz!
Still having the same problem I had with earlier versions. If the controller disconnects for any reason, minecraft needs to be restarted for it to reconnect again. When you have a bunch of mods installed and it takes minecraft 7 mins to boot up, it is pretty frustrating.
So I don't know why the author isn't posting here, but it appears they are still updating their software on gitbub. https://github.com/ljsimin/MinecraftJoypadSplitscreenMod. You can download the forge MDK and compile it yourself. We've been using it in 1.12.2 for a while and it seems good.
To fix the "if controlled disconnects, you need to restart minecraft to get it to relink" problem, I saw some guy on FTB said that there was some kind of a fix that he heard about but you needed to downgrade windows drivers or something. I'd really like to be able to fix this issue. As I said before, when you run a big mod-pack that takes 10 mins to load, disconnect are infuriating.

My wired xbox one controller is not working in the game, but it works on my computer. It seems like I have the mod downloaded correctly.
where do i place the xinput file to make it work?
