hi I got my controller to connect but for some reason the configurations don't work on the game. I can jump and look around with the right stick but I can't move forward, open inventory or basically do anything else. I've tried multiple different configurations do you happen to have any idea what I'm doing wrong?
Hey, I chose my input on the controller button next to the settings and created a button layout. I just can’t get it to transfer onto the game itself, controller doesn’t even work on the Minecraft menu. I’m pretty sure I’m missing a step somewhere, I’d appreciate any help I can get, thanks.
1:00 after I selected minecraft.exe to open it it says "you don't have permission to open this file." I try to run as Administrator and still no access. Thanks Steam and Microsoft.
Move The XboxGames folder to a new folder. It will cause you to redownload some things, but your saves will be saved and you'll work around the permissions issue.
@@KyxtoJSame here but I think it's the one that says "Minecraft" without the ".exe" or "gamelaunchhelper" you could try to work around with these two
For people that are having trouble with it going into Xbox games folder. Installing the ‘legacy launcher’ option worked for me, put it under a different location and then use ‘Minecraft launcher’ with the grey creeper icon to run through steam
I have absolutely no clue what I'm doing wrong at 2:30 I followed all the instructions and it just won't open Minecraft. I added the Minecraft.exe file to steam and nothing is happening. Please if anyone can help let me know.
@@thatperson1812 I reinstalled Minecraft Launcher. Not from the store, but from the website. You will also keep all of your profiles, skins,... if you close the launcher before (atleast that's what I did. I don't know if you have to) And then you just copy the minecraft launcher folder (C:/Xbox Games/Content /Minecraft Launcher or something like that) I hope it helped.
So after 30 minutes of trying to find the Minecraft launcher folder and finding where you said, when I try to add minecraft.exe to steam, it says permission is invalid.
Not sure but I believe you can download an older version of the Minecraft launcher and that will create a exe that you can use. Not sure if that’s it but I’ll look into it and if I do find a solution, I’ll update in this thread. 👍
I have a problem. When I select the file, it says I cant because I dont have permission as administrator even though I'm using an administrator account, please help
@mohamedelsafadi6355 I have the same problem . I bought the minecraft bedrock and java edition from the Microsoft store? It says it has a game pass, but I bought it (the game, not game pass) at full price ? Does this mean it won't work
@@MckennaSpotsAviation Unfortunately I gave up on this issue. Yes while I could use mods, you need to download the original mod, then something to launch it… I was hoping I didn’t need to do all of that.
I also needed to go into "Steam > Settings > Controller" on the steam UI and enable the XBox controller and check it was connected to steam. Theres a bit of keyboard mapping ahead of me (in game and in steam) but it looks ok.
@@Dustinclev-3 I'm no wizard but no it didn't when I added curseforge + java instead of the base launcher. I'm thinking if you could this would be more talked about.

I can now successfully open the MC Launcher from Steam, but when I hit play, there is no pop-up about the steam community and my controller does not control the mouse. When I open a world, the controller controls do not work, only mouse and keyboard. I am using the PS4 Minecraft Input Config by erwinalarcon. Any ideas?
Since Java and Windows Minecraft combined, things have been changed and moved. I believe you can download a legacy launcher from the official Mojang website.
open your minecraft launcher, then go to the windows logo and open taskmanager. you will see a list with minecraft in it. click on the arrow left of 'minecraft launcher'. then in the row where is says: name, status, command line etc right click and you get a list with options. then click command line in that list. that will show you where the files are saved on your computer
It works for like 2 seconds then stops the control is still connected to steam and everything but no matter how many times you move the toggle stick you wont move
How do you do this on Mac? “Minecraft” is the only available option to add to Steam by default and I found a Java location but pasting it wouldn’t allow me to load the launcher.
I have a specific problem. When I use steam, my right analog stick controls the camera and everything. But the left analog stick doesn't do anything. I can't move, and only the right analog stick is moving the camera, and I can also crouch by holding down the right analog stick. I think that somehow that steam is ignoring all of the button inputs I say to sub in for the controller buttons (left analog stick as wasd ect.) How do I fix this?
I used to not see the "Controller Layout" button as well when I connected my controller. Here's the fix that I found that worked for me: Go to your Steam Settings > Controller Under "External Gamepad Settings", click on "Enable Steam Input for (...) controllers" (Choose whichever controller you connected) Hope this helps!
Somebody knows why i cant modify the controller modification?, i can modify the buttons but inside the game it doesnt recognize the changes, and it doesnt matter how many configuration i'll try it, the changes does not apply.
Make sure all the drivers are installed. There is a paid version on steam called dsx if you are interested in their paid version. Its like 5 dollars i believe usd.
