Suggestion: Option to manually assign an axis or button to an input

[gegentan]

OS: Ubuntu 24.04
Minecraft Version: 1.20.1
Mod version: 1.2.4

I have a PS4 controller connected via bluetooth to my pc

In controller configurations, when i click right/left trigger the red lines light up instantly and in the config menu next to those buttons the "Output value as axis" instantly changes from 0.000 to 1.000 even when barely touching the trigger. Using PS4 controller test websites works (the trigger value is correct)

So in the menu you can see that the mod detected the trigger inputs as buttons, and not as axis (see the name of the input)
This means that GLFW expose this input as a button, which seems to sometimes be the case with theses controllers (I had the same issue a while ago with a similar controller)
So here I can't really do anything, since I can't modify GLFW. It is possible that GLFW expose the triggers as both axis and buttons, in which case the mod detects the button change first. If that is the case, you can try to bind the axis by having your trigger slightly pushed before clicking on the bind button, then pushing completely the trigger down so that the "fake" button is already down.
Some rework of the button binding for this are planned, but theses will probably not come before this summer.

Also, if GLFW detects your controller's shoulder axis as buttons only, then I can't really do anything since its an issue with GLFW, which I don't have control over (btw GLFW is an external library that Minecraft uses for handling inputs)

Ok so I tested this because I wasn't sure if it would work, and it does not.
I made a test profile with some edited values, based on what I could see from yours
gamepad_profile_0.zip
You can try to replace your current profile with this one
To do that, unzip the above file and place its content in the config folder of the mod: .minecraft\config\gamepad_profiles folder (you might need to change the path if you use another folder for your game)
In the gamepad_profiles folder there should be already a gamepad_profile_0 file, so make sure to replace it with the one in the zip. (you can make a backup of it just in case)

Tell me if that help

It worked! Thank you!

Alright, good to know that it worked for you
I will leave this open, but rename it as a feature request for the improved UI that should come with the next big update

Stumbling upon this issue again. I found out that if I hold the left or right trigger axis and only then click on the input select button in the mod then it binds the axis, but it's inverted.

Edit: I was blind and didn't see the "Invert button output value" checkbox. So maybe this would be a solution for now to use the triggers. Turns out it's a checkbox only for buttons so this has to be done with the axis range setting.

You can flip the axis range in the input entry's configs in order to have them using the correct range. This can be used as a workaround for now.
The next update should make it so that the controller profiles are stored in a json format. This is not the best that could be done, but in the meantime it will allow people to edit the bindings by just modifying the file directly
