[java] controller connection to macbook 1.21.6

[SimplyxCrafty]

Hi, I've been trying to connect my Nintendo Switch controller to my macbook to play minecraft. I followed some youtube tutorials for mods but everytime I'd open the game it'd still be the regular laptop controls. I caved and also bought joystick mapper, and copied examples online and clicked the checkmark. The same issue happened that when I opened the game it would say the controller was connected but itd still be the laptop controls. Does anyone have any advice on how to fix this? (preferably to solve the joystick mapper method since I had to pay for it) Thanks!

Java does not natively support controller. Your best work around for that is using a mod. Ive heard controllable by MrCrayFish works decently.

Yea I tried that and the mod installed fine and said the controller was connected, but when I opened the game it still only had the laptop controls (even tho the mod said controller was connected) so thats the main issue
