Take full control of your controller experience with pie menus, quick actions, and remappable buttons.

Star Control - Better Gamepads

🎮 **The only controller mod you need** ✨

---

🌟Module introduction

Star Control—full name **Stardew Valley Controller**—is a complete redesign of Stardew Valley's otherwise functional but clunky controller input system.

🎯 Core Features

Compared with the original joystick control, Star Control brings revolutionary improvements:

• ✨ Each button has a unique and useful function
• ⚙️ (Almost) all inputs configurable and remappable
• 🎮 Use items directly from the menu, no need to press multiple keys to select, use and confirm
• 🔧 Most mod features can be accessed and used with a controller, even if not specifically designed by the mod author

🎪 Main functions

Pie Menu

• 📋 Inventory pie menu and module operation menu
• 🎯 Use the analog sticks to navigate easily
• ⏸️ Game pauses when selected (except online mode)

Quick operation slot

• ⚡ Configurable quick action slot
• 🔘 Single button activation, no joystick required
• 💾 Settings will still be remembered even if the item is no longer in inventory or the operation is not possible

Instant operation

• 🗡️ "Zelda style" controls
• 🔧 Bind specific tools or items to controller buttons
• 🌟 For example: X key to swing a pickaxe, Y key to swing a sword, B key to chop a tree

Configure the system

• 🛠️Extended in-game configuration system
• 🎮 Designed specifically for handle navigation
• 🔧 Customizable almost every aspect of the mod
