Nope, there's no joystick support for Minetest. What you can do, though, is use a program to convert joystick axes and buttons to mouse and keyboard controls. Joy2Key is a command-line program of that sort that works on GNU/Linux, QJoypad is a graphical one that works on GNU/Linux, and JoyToKey is a popular graphical one for Windows. I'm sure there are others.

There is currently an open bounty on this missing feature. The pot for it is currently at $50- bored coders, here's a chance to earn some Steam games!

I used to use XPadder with my old fake PS2 controller. It was good.

7:42 PM - Bauglio: so fudge the stable build
7:43 PM - Bauglio: get the staple build

qjoypad (google it) - works great - jstest is also helpful in getting the button and axis numbers for the qjoypad layout
MT IS MC'S SMARTER BROTHER
minetest 0.4.8 compiled from latest git on linux mint 15 with qjoypad and wired 360 controller
freeminer, pilztest, buildcraft and next are the idea factories
my minetest page is http://1337318.zymichost.com if zymic isn't down - meh, it is free...

No need to say that. Some people learn different things better than others.

Native support is always better. And splitscreen would be really cool...
