One of the best things about gaming on the PC is versatility. Mods, updates, downloads and other additions to a game can be quickly snatched up and installed, which means consumers get the content they want when they want it in most cases. Even when you have a game like Minecraft which was not built to be played with a controller on the PC, you get something like the Joypad mod which lets you use your Xbox or other controllers to play the game on your computer. On top of that, it allows a second player to come along in a special split-screen mode available only with this mod.
The Joypad mod shouldn’t really surprise anyone. With the popularity of Minecraft on the Xbox 360 and PS3, it’s no wonder players are migrating from consoles to PCs for a better experience. That’s basically all it is, too – just a way for you to play the game using a different input source. The multiplayer on a single computer is pretty nice, but you need to have a high-end PC for that to work without drastic drops to your FPS. If that sounds like you, then you’ll probably really like this mod. It’s still good for anyone who would rather play with a controller than a mouse and keyboard too.

On the 3rd picture i see on your screen this: Y – Inventory and that stuff
How do i do that so i can see it too?
When I go to install this mod in the .minecraft folder, I do not have a mods folder :-/ how do i fix that?
just launch mc once with the forge launcher profile
Can’t play splitscreen, it says connection timed out or error i only have one premium account but tried with different names but no way to connect
Had splitscreen working for Lan with my kid using different user names but as of yesterday no longer seems to work
Have an issue with opening the control panel. Every time I do the game crashes.
You have to be sure you’re running the same forge mod [1.8] as the joypad mod.
The forge mod [1.8] must much the joypad mod [1.8].
Forge mod [1.8] must match joypad mod [1.8].
I’m having the same issue. yes 1.9 and 1.8

Controller’s not working. Please fix! [Using 1.8 FORGE & 1.8 MOD]
Hi, in the controller settings – attack/destroy is “axis 6 +” when I’d expect it to be right trigger – any ideas how to fix ? On 1.8.9 mod. Thanks
ok, running windows 10, and there is no such file ( %appdata%/.minecraft/mods ) so where do you put the .jar file ????
just run your modpack and look at your recourse folder go up and over to mods
paste them there
Does this not work on Windows 10? I am able to connect my controller to one screen, and my mouse and keyboard to the other, but I am unable to control both screens at the same time.. Someone please help
