Hi all,I've We have created a mod allowing you to control Minecraft with a joypad. It works both in SSP and SMP, and you can use it while simultaneously controlling regular MC with keyboard + mouse, allowing for something like split screen.
You can hook up multiple joypads, as many as your PC can handle .Get it here: http://retro-hack.bl...reen-on-pc.html

The new version is out and it is Forge compatible (1.9)! I have moved outdated info to spoiler tags.

A new developer joined the board - eastsider98052. He is responsible for this new Forge port, and git repo. Great kudos to you sir! Everyone else if free to contribute as well - head to our github repo for the full sources - https://github.com/l...SplitscreenMod
Thanks bjbinc for updating it to 1.7.10 and 1.8! Your continued support is truly awesome.
New version is compatible with Forge 1.8.9, 1.8, 1.7.10 and 1.6.4 (they are separate downloads). Since this is a partial rewrite of the original mod, not everything is the same as before. Obviously, the mod should be now compatible with most Forge mods out there, given the same Minecraft version. Also, it features a new navigation scheme, using a virtual cursor controlled by analog stick. It allows the player to control all menus and GUI screens in game. Unfortunately, the old method - D-pad navigation - is not available in this version. It is planned for it to have a comeback in the future though, with improved compatibility.The installation method has changed. Since this is a Forge mod, it basically breaks up to these steps:
- Install Forge (if you don't already have it) - make sure the version is 1.6.4, 1.7.10, or 1.8
- Download mod and put in %appdata%\.minecraft\mods folder
- Play Minecraft Joypad/Splitscreen! (enable and configure in the in game "Controls" menu)

Thanks
eastsider98052 for finishing the Forge port, setting up the git repo, all the work he have done so far on the mod and general enthusiasm and selflessness (it's a word)
bjbinc for his continuous support with porting mod to new Forge versions.
Countless youtubes who made awesome videos/let's plays/tutorials about the mod. You rock!
I'd also like to thank everyone else who contributed to the mod success, especially the selfless folks on the forums who provided others with the ton of support and information. All feedback appreciated!
This is my first mod, so bear with me. I plan to improve and maintain it, so feel free to check it out and comment.For now it supports basic controls, menu navigation and inventory screens.Please note that this is different than the joy2key or xpadder method, as it allows you to control multiple Minecraft windows at a time (each with one joypad). Joy2key and xpadder only emulate keyboard and mouse.Cheers!UPDATE!Version 0.15.1 is out.
Changelog:-[fix] not being able to move the camera without window focus
Download it here: http://retro-hack.bl...joypad-mod.htmlConfigsDefault config should be suitable for wired XBox 360 Joypad and a Logitech ChillstreamIf you wan't to customize it you can do it by visiting the game options.The only thing you might have to edit by hand are the deadzones. You can change them by opening the file named "options.txt" located besides your screenshot directory. Then you find the lines containing the the word "axis". Like for example:joy_joy.cameraX+:axis/3/0.9/0.05Deadzone is the last value. Change it to somting higer, like 0.15 or 0.25 and save the file. Start the Minecraft and see if it's better now.Troubleshooting:
