You have Minecraft running on your phone, but the controls still feel awkward. The jump button sits a little too far away, opening your inventory takes an extra reach, and moving while looking around is harder than it should be. Sometimes, changing the button layout makes more difference to a session than changing another game setting.
That is where these Mojo Launcher controls come in. You can download a ready-made layout, try it in your own world, and move the buttons you want to change. You do not have to build every control from scratch.
This Mojo Launcher Controls Download collection includes six layouts: Control, CPVP V1, Dark LegendOP New Control, Pyes King Replay (2), Sigma Boy Controller, and Vgr Gamerz R Control. Download the complete ZIP if you want to compare them, or pick one JSON file from the list below.
Download Mojo Launcher Controls
Each JSON file contains one control layout. If you download the ZIP, extract it first so you can choose the layout you want to import. The file names below have been kept simple to make them easier to find in your Downloads folder.
What Are Mojo Launcher Controls?
A control layout decides where the on-screen buttons appear and which keyboard or mouse inputs they send to Minecraft. It can include movement buttons, a joystick, jump, attack, use, inventory, chat, and shortcuts you would normally press on a keyboard.
The JSON file stores that arrangement. Importing it changes your touch controls; your Minecraft worlds and installed mods stay separate. You can keep more than one layout and switch when you want a different setup.
MojoLauncher is also known as MJLauncher. Depending on the build you use, you may see either name when opening a control file on Android.
A Closer Look at the Included Layouts
Control
Control is a useful place to start if you want a joystick with familiar shortcuts. It includes buttons labelled Jump, Run, Zoom, Drop, Inventory, and Place, along with extra actions such as Hitbox and Chunk. Try the basic movement first, then decide which of the extra buttons you actually want on screen.
CPVP V1
CPVP V1 uses directional buttons and includes shortcuts labelled crystal, Totem, sword, anchor, glow, and pearl. These labels make it easier to recognize the intended setup, but you still need the right items in your hotbar and matching in-game key bindings. A control file does not supply items or perform the fight for you.
Dark LegendOP New Control
Dark LegendOP has a fuller set of on-screen buttons, including numbered hotbar shortcuts, directional movement, chat, inventory, and extra labelled actions. If you like having more inputs within reach, start here and move the less-used buttons away from the middle of the screen.
Pyes King Replay (2)
Pyes King Replay (2) combines a joystick with several keyboard-style shortcuts, including F1, F2, chat, and third-person view. The name alone does not add replay features to Minecraft. If you use a replay mod, check its key bindings and match the buttons to the actions you need.
Sigma Boy Controller
Sigma Boy Controller includes a joystick and labelled controls for Place, Inventory, Zoom, Hitbox, and Menu. It gives you a different arrangement to compare with the Control and Vgr layouts. After importing it, check that your thumbs can reach movement and your main action buttons together.
Vgr Gamerz R Control
Vgr Gamerz R Control pairs a joystick with Attack, Inventory, Chat, third-person view, and several numbered shortcuts. You may prefer this arrangement if you want to move with one thumb while keeping common actions nearby. Resize or reposition the buttons before settling into a longer session.
How to Import Controls Into Mojo Launcher
If you have not launched Minecraft yet, complete the account and first-launch setup before importing a new control layout.
Start by saving your current layout under a separate name. That gives you an easy way back if the new controls do not feel comfortable.
- Download one JSON file from the table, or download and extract the complete controls ZIP.
- Open your phone's file manager and find the JSON file in Downloads.
- Use Open with or Share and choose MojoLauncher or MJLauncher. On the Import controls screen, give the layout a name and confirm the import.
- Open Custom Controls in the launcher, open the editor menu, and choose Load to select the imported layout.
- Try the buttons in the editor, adjust their positions or sizes, and save your copy.
- Use Select default controlmap if you want that layout as your usual control setup. If your game profile has its own control selection, check that setting too.
The menu wording can vary between launcher builds. If your file manager opens the JSON as text, go back and use Open with or Share instead. Choose the launcher from the list of apps rather than a text editor.
Which Layout Should You Start With?
If you mostly play survival or explore with friends, try Control, Sigma Boy Controller, or Vgr Gamerz R Control first. They include joysticks, so you can compare how movement feels while reaching jump, attack, and inventory.
If you prefer separate movement buttons, compare CPVP V1 and Dark LegendOP. For a setup built around extra keyboard shortcuts, take a look at Pyes King Replay (2). There is no single layout that feels best on every phone; screen size and the way you hold your device matter.
Give each layout a few minutes in a familiar world. Walk, jump, open a chest, switch hotbar slots, and look around while moving. You will notice awkward button positions much faster that way than by studying the layout in the editor.
Adjusting the Controls for Your Screen
A layout that looks comfortable on someone else's phone may feel cramped on yours. Open the controls editor and move your most-used buttons within a natural thumb reach. Keep the center of the screen clear enough to see what is happening in the game.
Make small changes first. A slightly larger jump button or a little more space between attack and use can reduce accidental taps. Adjust opacity if the controls cover too much of your view, but keep important buttons easy to find.
For Zoom, replay actions, or other custom shortcuts, compare the button's assigned input with Minecraft's key bindings and any relevant mod settings. The label printed on a button is only a name; the assigned input is what the game receives.
If a Control File Does Not Import or Work
First, check that you selected an extracted .json file. The ZIP is a download bundle, so selecting the ZIP itself will not load an individual layout. If the download was interrupted, save the file again before retrying.
If the launcher says the name already exists, import the layout with a different name. If your edited controls disappear after opening a game profile, check whether that profile is using another saved controlmap.
When a button is visible but does nothing, check its assigned key and the game's key bindings. When buttons sit too close to the edge, use the editor to move them inward and save the adjusted layout under a new name.
You can download the app from the Mojo Launcher homepage. If you are comparing launcher builds, the old versions page lists the APK downloads separately from these control files.
