Aug 01, 2012 How to use a xbox controller to play minecraft or any other game on pc. Click finish and do as it says. Choosethe the button or toggle stick you want to set. To do this ether click on one of the squares or click the wrench button next to the triggers,slicks and Dpad. Thanks for give this a view but could you also give me a diamond. Make sure you aren't already running Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition. If you are, be sure to close the app first before trying to play it from the Oculus Minecraft app. If you continue to have problems, try running Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition by playing it from the Xbox app. This may give you more insight into why the game won't play.

Am I able to use a controller to play the PC version of Minecraft? If so, can I just plug it in and play or do I have to do something else before being able use one?

There is no built-in controller support on the PC version of Minecraft. You will need something like Xpadder to change each controller input to a keyboard/mouse input in order to use a controller.

With a mod, yes. You can use the Minecraft Joypad/Split Screen Mod for actual analog movement (not just eight directions like with XPadder) and UI modifications for the controller (instead of only using an analog stick to emulate a mouse). It also creates the possibility of playing split screen with a friend (but you can use it just to play full screen single-player with a controller):http://retro-hack.blogspot.com/p/minecraft-joypad-mod.html

The Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition supports multiple control schemes, including controllers and touchscreens. Just connect the controller to your PC and play.
Keep in mind that despite its name, the Windows 10 Edition is not available for Windows 10 smartphones (yet); only PCs (desktops, notebooks, convertibles, etc.). It is also based on the Pocket Edition, which means that many features of the Java version are missing. Although owners of the Java version can redeem the Windows 10 Edition for free, their worlds and savegames aren't compatible with each other, so you'll have to start over if you ever decide to switch.

you can use your xbox 360 controller and steam controller with steam. Just add the game to steam and choose the controller layout with 15 upvotes. In game swap the q and lshift buttons so you'll go down with red b button

This may not work for everyone but its usefull for me if you have steam.you can add the short cut to your library,change it to big picture,go to minecraft short cut,click game settings,then change the button scheme.Also be sure to have the driver software installed.

If you're on Linux, you may have luck with Joy2Key, found here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/joy2key/
Debian package: http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=joy2key
Ubuntu package: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=names&keywords=joy2key
Another option is QJoyPad: http://qjoypad.sourceforge.net/ which also claims mouse support.
I haven't tested these myself.

Hello fellow Minecrafters,
I've been playing MC360 since it's release, and I've loved it. The downside of course being that it is several updates behind the PC version. I've considered also getting the PC version. However, I really dislike gaming with a mouse and keyboard, and (Brace for downvotes) I REALLY dislike the PCs manual crafting system...
So my question is: Is there a good mod for the PC version that adds Xbox controller support and a XB360 style crafting menu?
EDIT: Thanks for all the tips for the controller. What I am most interested in, however, is the existence of a MC 360 crafting system mod.
