Hi, I am struggling to understand a few things i think.

I am using an xbox360 controller

lets start with mappings

1. Ive been to the midnight page where it gives a brief tutorial to download the gamepadtoolkit which I did. I followed the prompts in the gamepadtookkit. mapped, got the guid for it. opened minecraft when to mappings file editor. Pasted it. Then whats next? the brief tutorial on the midnight site doesn't seem to conclude what the next steps actually are, do i just click "done" or do i do something else. when i click done and return back to the mapping file editor in the controller settings the string line i just pasted is no longer there. the default GUID in the bottom is still the same. nothing changed. I get a prompt saying "mapping has changed" or what ever it says, but the same guid when i first downloaded midnight controls is still there. is that default guid supposed to change to the string i just pasted? if it is, it does not. So could some more clarity be given in this please.

To the actual main thing i am struggling with. Controller button mappings to mods.

To replicate, i installed all the mods 10, and midnight controls.

set up the controller for split screen. all works fine.

for IRONS spellbooks mod, there are controls to set for

1. cast spell
2. open the spell wheel
3. scroll the spells on screen (bottom left)

So i just used the controller to bind them to

1. left dpad
2. up dpad
3. down dpad.

no matter what i do these do not work. ive obviously tried googling the issue but when i google how to bind new controller in midnight controls or similar such searches the returns are plentiful amounts of other issues and i cant seem to find the answer to my issue, so i am wondering where i am going wrong and what im not understanding to do what i need it to do. appreciate any help given.
