Custom Control Types

It is possible to create a custom Control Type with a custom Minecraft logo and custom Control Icons.

To make custom control types, you need:

• namespace:font/[id].json - Specifies the sprites that will be used for the Control Icons, as well as the ID in the filename
• namespace:control_types.json - Specifies all the Control Types, with optional fields for using multiple fonts (for different UI Modes) and adding a Minecraft logo for a certain Control Type
• Assets within a namespace folder
  • Typically the structure is namespace:textures/component/[platform]/[ui-mode] (e.g. legacy:textures/component/x360/sd)
