Joypad Enhanced 0.4.0 — Controller Interface Refresh

Updated controller icons and Minecraft-inspired button textures throughout the settings interface.

Changes

• New icons for face buttons, triggers, bumpers, sticks, D-pad and system buttons.
• Stone-style buttons and sliders with clear highlighted and disabled states.
• Updated settings, bindings, controller diagnostics and calibration screens.
• Selected tabs are easier to identify, and button textures fit different screen widths.

Includes the console-style defaults, Y menu-back action, macOS Bluetooth support and automatic mouse capture from previous versions.

Installation

Close Minecraft and replace the previous JoypadMod JAR in mods with JoypadMod-1.7.10-Enhanced-0.4.0.jar. Keep only one JoypadMod version enabled.

Requires Minecraft 1.7.10, Forge and Java 8. Native macOS controller support requires macOS 11.3+ and supports Apple Silicon and Intel Macs.

This is an experimental pre-release. The new interface still needs full in-game testing; Windows controller support remains unverified on hardware.

Joypad Enhanced 0.3.0 — Pixel Icons and Console Defaults

Controller hints now use pixel icons, with a Minecraft-inspired stone, grass and wood color palette.

Changes

• Icons in gameplay hints, bindings and diagnostics follow your actual controller mappings.
• Inventory hints use the correct menu bindings and fit narrower screens.
• Console-style defaults: A selects, Y opens inventory or goes back in menus, X splits stacks, and B quick-moves items.
• LS sprints, RS sneaks, LT/RT use or attack, and LB/RB cycle hotbar slots.
• D-pad up changes perspective, down drops an item, left picks a block, and View/Back shows the player list.
• Recognizable old defaults are updated automatically; other custom bindings are preserved. Use Reset twice to apply the complete default profile.

Compatibility and usage

Changes

• Releases the cursor in menus, inventories and when switching applications; captures it again when gameplay resumes.
