Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
No.

Describe the solution you'd like
Create a new mod which will only include the gamepad compatibility features.

Describe alternatives you've considered
The user could probably disable them by their own.

Additional context
The extra (eg. BE parity) features such as the front block placing can be considered as cheats, which make this mod less client-side.

(Maybe name the other mod MidnightControllers?)

The cheats are automatically disabled on servers that don't have explicit compat, so I don't see a need for a seperate mod. These features are added to make playing with Controllers more enjoyable, so it makes sense to have them in MidnightControls.

Also, another question: Can they be disabled by the user in the config?

Yes, and they're disabled by default.
