Midnight Controls Mod FAQ

10 questions players actually ask, answered.

How do I open the Midnight Controls settings menu?
Open the game's Controls or Options screen and look for the Midnight Controls button or tab, which opens its own config screen. From there you can toggle controller support, adjust the on-screen button indicator, and change sensitivity.
Why isn't my controller working after installing Midnight Controls?
Make sure the controller is connected and recognized by your operating system before launching the game, then enable controller support in the Midnight Controls config. If it still doesn't respond, check that no other mod or program is capturing the controller input.
How do I remap buttons on my controller?
Open the Midnight Controls config and go to the button mapping or bindings section, then select the action you want to change and press the controller button you want assigned to it. You can also create and save your own custom mapping profile for controllers that aren't automatically detected.
What is the on-screen button indicator and how do I turn it off?
It's an overlay that shows which controller buttons correspond to actions, similar to Bedrock Edition's button hints. You can toggle it on or off in the Midnight Controls config if you find it distracting.
Can I use keyboard and mouse at the same time as a controller?
Yes, Midnight Controls supports keyboard, controller, and touchscreen input, so you can switch between them. Keyboard controls can also be used to look around, which is useful if you want mouse-like camera movement without a mouse.
How do I increase the interaction radius so I can reach blocks further away?
Midnight Controls increases the interaction radius with objects compared to vanilla, and the relevant option is available in its config. Check the config screen for the reach or interaction distance setting and adjust it to your preference.
Does Midnight Controls work with modded keybinds from other mods?
Yes, it automatically supports modded key bindings, so actions added by other mods should appear in the controls list and be assignable to controller buttons. Developers can also use its API to add their own button bindings.
Which controllers are supported?
DualShock, DualSense, Xbox, and Switch Pro controllers are supported, along with many others. If your controller isn't detected automatically, you can set up a custom mapping manually.
My controller works but the camera or movement feels too slow or fast — how do I fix it?
Adjust the sensitivity options in the Midnight Controls config, which control how fast the camera moves with controller or keyboard input. Tuning these separately from vanilla mouse sensitivity usually gives the best feel.
Does Midnight Controls cause lag or conflict with other control mods?
It's generally lightweight, but running it alongside other mods that also handle controller or input mapping can cause conflicts or double inputs. If you notice issues, disable the overlapping mod or its controller features and test again.
