PS4 dualshock controller no longer working with Minecraft (1.13-pre)
I use DS4Windows to map my PS4 dualshock controller buttons to keypresses used in Minecraft PC/java edition. This has worked (and continues to work) with every Minecraft version prior to the Aqua Update snapshots. Minecraft 1.13-pre, however, doesn't recognize any of the DS4Windows keyboard emulation configured to my PS4 dualshock controller. When I try to map the controller directly to Minecraft under Minecraft Options.../Controls..., every button on the PS4 controller generates the same scancode.256 entry in the Minecraft Control mappings and Minecraft doesn't respond to the controller in-game. This bug was reported in November 2017 for aquatic update snapshot 17w45b, and I am dismayed to find it still not fixed in 1.13-pre. This must be fixed! Please, either re-instate support of keyboard emulation by 3rd-party game controller profilers, or build in native support into Minecraft for the PS4 dualshock controllers (USB and Bluetooth).

Yes it's still an issue with 1.13-pre6. However I believe this can be closed as a duplicate of MC-130857
Can also confirm that the controls work for everything else but for MC. Previously used to play in 1.12.
All mouse controls currently work using DS4 in 1.13
No keyboard actions register using DS4.
Hope this helps.
Attaching screenshots of the control menus and how they differ from 1.13 to 1.12
[media]Confirming that DS4Windows keyboard emulation continues to work in Minecraft versions 1.12.2 and earlier, and continues to fail in Minecraft versions 1.13.0, 1.13.1 and 1.13.2.
This issue does not appear to be resolved in 1.15.2 Snapshot nor in 1.15.2 release. Dualshock controller works fine in other programs – verified DS4Windows keybindings are correct. Does not work in Minecraft.
