    I have been researching this for a while, because I wanted to know what Minecraft would be like when playing it with a controller. I'm using the wii classic controller because I never play my wii anymore and it has no use right now. The problem is though, I can get the analog sticks to work. There is a program called Darwiinremote, but that only configures buttons. Really, the onlything I need is for the analog sticks to act as a mouse. I can play MC without analog sticks, but I cant look around with my right analog stick. So does anyone know of a program or driver that can do this for me?

    You could use an xbox wired controller, and download a program that gives you nearly unlimited control over the button-mapping. That way you can have several quick-keys while playing, and have the clicker, etc.

    Or pretend that you can get a Wii controller to work without the knowledge to do it yourself, either way works.

    I only have wireless controllers. Charger kit is said not to work either.

    Mmm, that would be correct, they do not. It is soooo annoying, because the wireless are the ones that come default >.<

    Well, I wish you luck.

    GlovePie.

    Uh, yeah. Minecraft with a controller isn't fun. Like, no. I used a wired xbox controller at one stage, and the aiming sucked. Everything else felt great, it's just the mouse movement. It felt...strange. It doesn't work as well as you'd think it does.

    The biggest problem with GlovePie is, you don't actually just input the controls. You have to script it. However, I have a .txt file with a script for each controller, so I'll post the Classic one here:

    Download link for GlovePie: http://glovepie.org/glovepie_download.php

    Script to make the controller work:
    Mouse.LeftButton = Classic1.R
    Mouse.RightButton = Pressed(Classic.L)
    Mouse.MiddleButton = Pressed(Classic.ZL)
    Mouse.WheelUp = Classic.Up
    Mouse.WheelDown = Classic.Down
    Key.W = Classic.LeftStickY < -0.5
    Key.S = Classic.LeftStickY > 0.5
    Key.A = Classic.LeftStickX < -0.5
    Key.D = Classic.LeftStickX > 0.5
    Key.R = Classic.x
    Key.F = HeldDown(Classic.x, 0.25)
    Key.Escape = Classic.Home
    Key.Space = Classic.y
    Key.E = Classic.a
    Key.C = Classic.Plus
    Key.Ctrl = Classic1.b
    //Joystick aiming
    If Classic.RightStickX < -0.2 or Classic.RightStickX > 0.2
    Mouse.DirectInputX = Mouse.DirectInputX + (30)*(Classic.RightStickX)
    EndIf

    If Classic.RightStickY < -0.2 or Classic.RightStickY > 0.2
    Mouse.DirectInputY = Mouse.DirectInputY + (30)*(Classic.RightStickY)
    EndIf

    If that doesn't do it, PM me I guess.
