Hi, I'm new to these forums, so I just wanted to show you this cool thing I hacked together... I used GlovePIE and the Xbox 360 wired controller (It would also work with wireless, with an adapter) to allow you to build entirely using the controller! All the commands are mappable to different buttons. I've copied a small portion from their help forums. You just need to:
1. Download GlovePIE
2.Download and install Xbox controller for Windows
3. Download my script (It's editable) here
4. Open script in GlovePIE , press Run and start up Minecraft!
5. Optional, post improvements to the code in comments

Controls: Left trigger: Destroy
Right trigger: Build
Right shoulder button: Noclip
Left shoulder: Speed boost
Left joystick: move
Right joystick: Look
A: jump
B: toggle fly
Start or back: Pause
Click left stick: Users online
Click right stick: change function
X and Y: flying (In flying mode)
Up and down on Dpad: same as above^
There is others, just discover them!

 TODO: Create macros,, so for instance back+ start would send you home, etc. (Almost working)
Typing with chatpad? I don't have one, so if someone does, it would be great if you helped!

Awesome idea.

I don't have an xbox controller but this is a great idea.

The same could be done for PS3 controllers.

Thanks!

Thanks! Yes, it would be easy to modify to use PS3 controllers, although I dont have any, GlovePIE has that abilty. (Even bluetooth!)

Thanks for the update

Yeah, you can easily get out by pressing start to close the chat window. I should probably modify that, but it's really late, I can do tomorrow. You can try to find it in the code; to remove completely, remove the line that starts with T = XInput1.X
 GlovePIE is pretty easy to understand, so you should be able to find it.

Good Idea, but doesnt work D:

I plugged In the Xbox controller into a USB slot, then ran your script on GlovePIE, then opened up World of Minecraft Client 1.8.8, then selected an online server and conected, but it didnt work :( any suggestions?

Possible fix

It could be you need to download and install the Xbox 360 controller software. This is the drivers and software needed for GlovePIE to recognize the controller as a joystick. Just having the drivers, apparently, is not enough. On Windows 7, it may say that the drivers are installed, but you still need this download too.
To test if it is installed, you should be able to press the guide button and a small window will pop up on your screen, showing the statue of the controller(s).
 Try downloading and installing it, then tell me if it doesn't work.

Regular

Can you make scripts for regular gamepad??? I have one from König (Yes, car parts makers, they also have gamepads).
PM me if you are going to make it.

New Version!!

New version! v2.0

Changelog:
--Improved comments (Useable!)
--Talk mode disabled (Just use the keyboard!)

I dont know if I can make any other joystick work... If it has a USB or serial connection, it probably will work. Just find the doccumentation in the GlovePIE wiki (if it's in there) I'm mainly focusing on Xbox controllers (since I have one.) (I also have a Wii controller, I might implement that.)
