About this Mod

🎮 Controlify: Forgified

A simple, and unofficial port of Controlify, made for Forge 1.20.1.

The goal is to make it "just work" without crashes or critical issues.
The newer features, such as split-screen or data-driven button guides, are not included.

This port is based on v2.1.2 for Fabric 1.20.1, with manual
backports of some changes from Controlify 2.4.2 and additional adjustments needed to make it work on MinecraftForge
platform.

Note: Unlike the official Controlify mod,
this backport does not support on-screen Controlify data-driven button guides,
as it is an unofficial backport of an older Controlify version.

🐞 Bug Reports

This is not an official port, so any issues should not be reported to the original project.
Please submit them to this GitHub repository instead.

Note that we do not plan to add any features such as Controlify split-screen integration.

🧰 Maintenance

Many mods still target Forge 1.20.1. This port makes Controlify usable in those modpacks,
though support will eventually end once most mods move to NeoForge.

We recommend starting to adapt to NeoForge or Fabric to avoid breakage, as Controlify only supports those platforms.
We did not focus much on code quality or work polish.
That said, the port was not entirely straightforward and still required testing, effort, and time.

🏆 Credits

This project is an unofficial backport based on the original work by isXander.
Without their valuable work, this port would not exist.
