Am I able to use a controller to play the PC version of Minecraft? If so, can I just plug it in and play or do I have to do something else before being able use one?
There is no built-in controller support on the PC version of Minecraft. You will need something like Xpadder to change each controller input to a keyboard/mouse input in order to use a controller.

If you're on Linux, you may have luck with Joy2Key, found here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/joy2key/
Debian package: http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=joy2key
Ubuntu package: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=names&keywords=joy2key
Another option is QJoyPad: http://qjoypad.sourceforge.net/ which also claims mouse support.
I haven't tested these myself.

With a mod, yes. You can use the Minecraft Joypad/Split Screen Mod for actual analog movement (not just eight directions like with XPadder) and UI modifications for the controller (instead of only using an analog stick to emulate a mouse). It also creates the possibility of playing split screen with a friend (but you can use it just to play full screen single-player with a controller): http://retro-hack.blogspot.com/p/minecraft-joypad-mod.html

I created an (open source) application called PlusPad, specifically for use with Minecraft: Java Edition. It runs in the background and uses MonoGame to capture gamepad input to translate into Windows API calls for mouse and keyboard actions.
It runs on Windows and has been tested with Xbox 360 gamepads.
The simulated inputs are:
| Controller Input | Mapped to |
|---|---|
| Left Stick | WASD |
| Right Stick | Mouse movement |
| Back | F3 |
| Start | ESC |
| Back + Start | Enable/disable input |
| L3 | Ctrl |
| R3 | LShift |
| A | Space |
| B | Q |
| X | F5 |
| Y | E |
| LB | Mouse wheel up |
| RB | Mouse wheel down |
| LT | Mouse 2 |
| RT | Mouse 1 |
| DPad up | Text input - next character |
| DPad down | Text input - previous character |
| DPad left | Backspace |
| DPad right | Text input - accept character |

The Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition supports multiple control schemes, including controllers and touchscreens. Just connect the controller to your PC and play.
Keep in mind that the Windows 10 Edition is missing many features of the Java version. It is possible to convert Java worlds into Windows 10 Edition worlds, but this is not officially supported. Do it at your own risk.

you can use your xbox 360 controller and steam controller with steam. Just add the game to steam and choose the controller layout with 15 upvotes. In game swap the q and lshift buttons so you'll go down with red b button

This may not work for everyone but its usefull for me if you have steam. you can add the short cut to your library,change it to big picture,go to minecraft short cut,click game settings,then change the button scheme.Also be sure to have the driver software installed.
