Hello!
Last time I played a little bit minetest and in my opinion this game should have a controller support!
Because otherwise I have to play with mouse and keyboard and I can't sit on my couch to play minetest!
I know, I could use wireless mouse and keyboard. And I have them but thats not comfortable!
Is it possible to add a controller support?
I would love it !

This would be quite interesting.

I don't personally have a controller that my computer can use.
What controller do you use?

Do you have a Wii control by chanche? I'm asking because I wrote a program that allowed you to use those for Minetest.

I generally think controllers do not work well for 3D games.

I do actually. How does it connect to the computer?

Bluetooth

Nice idea... I can connect my lappy to my TV and sit on the couch a play now :D

Nice idea Regen :)

Thanks for the positive feedback!
But what about the developer?
Is it possible to implement that?
And everybody can have an own opinion, so everybody could choose which method they use!
Adding the possibility to play with controller would be a big step in to a great game feeling!
