Description

Mod Info (fill out the following information)

  • Mod name: Effortless Building
  • Mod version: 4.1 [effortlessbuilding-fabric-26.1.2-4.1.jar]

Describe the problem
The Effortless Building radial/build-mode menu works correctly from the keyboard, for example by holding Alt or another keyboard-bound key. However, when I bind the same Effortless Building radial menu keybind to a physical controller button through Controlify, pressing or holding that controller button does nothing.

This happens even though the Effortless Building radial menu appears as a bindable keybind in Minecraft/Controlify.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Install Controlify and Effortless Building.
  2. Open Minecraft with a controller connected.
  3. Go to Controls / Controlify controller bindings.
  4. Find the Effortless Building radial/build-mode menu keybind.
  5. Bind it to a physical controller button.
  6. Enter a world.
  7. Press or hold the bound controller button.
  8. Nothing happens.
  9. Bind the same Effortless Building action to a keyboard key, or use the default Alt key.
  10. Hold the keyboard key.
  11. The Effortless Building radial menu opens correctly.

Expected behavior
The controller-bound keybind should open the Effortless Building radial/build-mode menu in the same way as the keyboard-bound key.

Screenshots
Not applicable. There is no visible error message; the controller-bound action simply does nothing.

Minecraft Info (please complete the following information):

  • OS: Windows 11
  • Minecraft Version: 26.1.2
  • Controlify Version: 3.2.1+mc26.1 [controlify-3.2.1+mc26.1-universal.jar]

Research direction

Start in Minecraft's Controls and Controlify controller bindings, reproducing the issue with the listed Controlify 3.2.1+mc26.1 and Minecraft 26.1.2 versions. Compare the controller-bound action path with the keyboard-bound Effortless Building radial menu action. Done means the controller button opens the radial/build-mode menu while held, matching the keyboard behavior.
