Control Flex Controller Support Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I open the controller config screen?
Press the key you've bound to open the mod menu (default is often a specific controller button or keyboard key set in your mod settings). From there you can access the controller layout editor and customize your bindings.
Can I use this mod with a keyboard and controller at the same time?
Yes, the mod works alongside keyboard input. You can switch between controller and keyboard freely, though you'll need to make sure your bindings don't conflict with each other.
What's the difference between a press, hold, and toggle trigger mode?
Press activates the action once when you press the button, hold keeps it active while you're holding the button, and toggle switches the action on and off with each button press.
Why isn't my radial menu showing up when I press the button?
Make sure you've actually assigned a radial menu to that button in the config, and check that the menu has at least one action in its slots. Also verify the button binding itself is working by testing it in the controller settings.
Can I have different controller layouts for different mods or modpacks?
The mod uses a single active configuration, but you can manually swap between saved config files or create multiple profiles within the mod's settings and switch between them as needed.
How do I bind an action that requires holding multiple buttons?
Use the mod's button combination feature to map multiple inputs to a single action—select each button you want to combine, and the action will only trigger when all of them are pressed together.
What happens to my controller bindings if I update the mod?
Your configuration file is usually preserved during updates, but check the mod's changelog to see if any breaking changes affect your setup. If issues occur, you may need to reset and reconfigure.
Can I use a radial menu to open my inventory or other GUI screens?
Yes, you can bind GUI actions like opening inventory to radial menu slots. The mod automatically switches to GUI layer mode when you interact with menus, so your radial menu will work in both gameplay and inventory screens.
Is there a way to make certain buttons only work in specific situations, like only in GUIs?
Yes, use the GUI layer feature to create button bindings that only activate when you're in menus, keeping your gameplay layer separate and uncluttered.
My controller isn't being detected at all—what should I check?
First confirm your controller works in other games or applications, then check that the mod is actually loaded in your instance. If the mod is installed but your controller still isn't recognized, you may need to restart Minecraft or check for conflicting mods that also handle controller input.
