How do I connect my wired controller to Java Minecraft on PC?

Hello!

Hope you are well. I'll be glad to assist you.

I'm sorry you're experiencing these issues.

Unfortunately, the Java version does not have official support for use with a controller; it is only possible to do so with the Bedrock version.

Best regards!

Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

My name is welcome to the community and Happy New Year.

Hello Aj, de mi investigación Minecraft Java Edition, por definición, no admite controles.

"This depends. For "PC Minecraft," are you saying Bedrock Edition or Java Edition? To know which is which, Java is only available on PC, and is downloadable from Minecraft.net. Bedrock Edition is available on all major consoles, phones and PCs running Windows 10. It is downloadable from the Microsoft store. On PC, it is usually known as Minecraft Windows 10 Edition. Another way to tell is that the latest version of Java is 1.14.4 and the latest version of Bedrock is 1.12.1. Now, Java Minecraft is only available on PC, and can only connect to other PCs, or servers run on a PC. If this is the one you have, sorry, you're out of luck. If you have Bedrock edition, congratulations! You can play with any other PC, phone or console with Minecraft Bedrock edition on it."

Is this the Bedrock edition of Minecraft you're trying to play, or is this the Java edition? Those would be different solutions to get the controller to work.

I'm understanding your setup is a PC with Xbox 360 wireless controller receiver, an Xbox 360 controller, and Minecraft. The controller is working for other titles on the PC, but not so in Minecraft, correct? I am GUESSING that it's the Java version, because
I do know that the Bedrock edition has built in controller support. The Java edition would require additional mods to make it work, and if so, I would recommend reviewing the Official Minecraft forums for the best solutions that have mods from a trustworthy
site.

There are several different versions of minecraft. Minecraft: Java edition is PC only and can only crossplay with Java players (mac, Lenox, PC) The minecraft that doesnt have a version next to it is the play together version or more commonly called bedrock.
Bedrock is the version that can be played across mobile, console, and PC. There are also editions that are made specifically for most consoles and even a stand alone mobile version. Examples would be Minecraft: Xbox One Edition, Minecraft: Pocket Edition.
These do not work with Bedrock which is just called Minecraft. Java is the most updated version of minecraft while bedrock would be right behind that one. The others I'm really not sure how often they update them if at all. Each edition of Minecraft has to
be purchased separately. I happen to own both Minecraft: Xbox one edition and Minecraft since they released at separate times. I also have Java on my PC. As for your issue they do not have a Bedrock version on the 360.

Minecraft Launcher is the same thing as Minecraft Java! I have issue with Minecraft: Bedrock Edition (Not JAVA EDITION). Do you understand this?
When i installed Minecraft: Bedrock Edition on my laptop from Microsoft Store it has the latest version but when i installed Minecraft: Bedrock Edition at another device (PC) from Microsoft store it stuck on 1.17.10 version and don't updating to 1.17.41 version. This is Microsoft Store's problem, it doesn't updating my Minecraft to the last version on my PC.

P.S PC and laptop has Windows 10.
