Minecraft on Steam Link with X360 controller?

[DevilDuckDan]

Hey all,

I've been plugging away at this for hours with no joy but was wondering if anyone has found a way to play Minecraft over the Steam link with controller?

Normally I would use Pinnacle Game Profiler to let me use it (I am playing the snapshots so can't use the joy pad mod) but as the controller isn't directly detected on the PC Pinnacle is unable to start the service.

Has anyone had any luck or have any ideas on how or if this could be done?


Cheers,
Dan

Hi, it can be done but you have to edit the profile so that the Minecraft launcher doesn't close when you start the game. Once I checked that setting it all worked ok.

Thank you reck, I've tried getting it working with setting the launcher to stay open but still no input. Do you have any additional software running alongside steam and minecraft?

No just Steam and Minecraft. Does the controller work ok with Minecraft from the PC. maybe this is a link issue?



So in Steam I have a shortcut set to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Minecraft\MinecraftLauncher.exe"
In the Minecraft Launcher I edit my profile and tell it to not close the launcher on game start.
Then I run Steam in BPM and run Minecrafft. Once loaded I can edit a controller profile and off I go.

Thanks Rekt for your continued help. I'm seriously tearing my hair out (pretty sure this isn't a link issue though).

Where do you edit your controller profile? Do you have a controller plugged into your pc when you load the games?

Thanks again,
Dan

Ive got the controller plugged in to the PC at the moment. Not tried it vis my link box yet but can't see why it wouldn't work on that.

Once I get to the Minecraft menu I hit the steam button to get the overlay up and then I can edit\create my controller profile from there as normal.

What's actually happening when you try and run it, how far do you get?

I thought of trying this, but I am not sure how it would work with MultiMC instances. Anyone have any idea how you go about uh, getting those working?

because who in their right mind plays vanilla minecraft? ;v

Ahh I think that explains it, I'm using an X360 controller. That'll teach me!

The only way I can see i can do thos is with a 2nd controller left plugged in on the desktop so I can start pinnacle game profiler (maybe).

Kazeskyfox - not sure as of yet sorry but as you have the steam controller I'm pretty sure you will have a lot more luck than me. Can you add MultiMC into Steam? If you can I think you should be up and running from the off.

Oh and I play vanilla :P lol. Modded MC is just too many versions behind for me at the moment, though I'm very tempted with FTB infinity evolved

My desktop is 20 feet from the desktop, so I have Forge and Joypad mods installed to use my xbox controller. Just google Joypad minecraft and it will explain how to install both. The problem is joypad reads the pc if the controller is hooked up, so with the xbox wireless adapter can't be connected to the Steam Link. The adapter has to be connected to the desktop to work. This is fine for me not sure if it work for you. I don't have a current solution for having the controller connected to the steam link itself and playing minecraft.

Add MultiMC as non-steam game and it works for me.

Good to know, thanks quazeye. Is that with the steam controller? I've got a feeling that I'm just gonna have to get one if I want minecraft on the couch.

I don't have Minecraft but I have games I want to use Pinnacle Gamer Profiler with and so far it kinda works if I add the pinnacle.exe as a Non-Steam Game and when I run Pinnacle as a Non-Steam game then run my other game (Example Oblivion) It will work and pinnacle runs but its slow and sometimes when I press button and release it Pinnacle thinks I am still holding the button which can be annoying.

I didn't even think of this, thanks for the suggestion. I'll give it a go tomorrow and report back :)

I should also mention in pinnacle when running it through the Steam Link I needed to add the controller again to Pinnacle Gamer Profiler. You may need to do this with Xpadder. I named my controller in Pinnacle Xbox 360 (Steam Link) and load the profiles for that conroller.
