FAQ:

The controller does not work, and its name appears in orange, what can I do?

Orange controller names indicate a missing controller mapping.
Download GamepadTool, create and copy a mapping, go to MidnightControls' Mappings File Editor and paste the string.
Alternatively, you can use AntiMicroX to create the mappings, in case the Gamepad Tool is not working for you.
If that works, you might as well consider submitting the mapping by opening a PR in this repo: https://github.com/gabomdq/SDL_GameControllerDB
That will make sure other people using the same controller as you don't have to use gamepad-tool anymore.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does MidnightControls need to be installed on the Minecraft server?

No. Modrinth marks MidnightControls as unsupported on the server side. Install it only in your local Minecraft mods folder. Your server can remain unchanged unless the mod page lists an additional dependency.

Which version and loader does MidnightControls require?

Use a file for fabric, neoforge, quilt and your exact Minecraft version. Supported versions include 26.2, 26.1.2, 26.1.1. Files for different loaders are not interchangeable.

MidnightControls is not working – what should I check?

First check the Minecraft version, loader version and required dependencies. Put the .jar file in your local .minecraft/mods folder and remove older duplicates. Because this mod is client-side, adding server RAM will not fix it.
