this is on the newest stable branch of steam os 3, also using the lastest version of the launcher from flathub.
also using the newest google play release. the older versions work fine

Same issue,

i browsed to the flatpack folder and found that camecontrollerdb.txt didnt exist. i created it, and then ran gamepad tool. I attempted with the steamdeck profile and with a profile for a PS3 controller i had lying around.

I cant unplug the steamdeck controller, but i could unplug the PS3, neither functioned. Happy to give more data but i dont know what would be useful for debug.

V0.8.1-flatpack-qt6 (build 56)

The following report provided an important detail that this is a regression caused by a game change flathub/io.mrarm.mcpelauncher#94.

You can still play with controllers on Minecraft 1.19.50 or lower.

Too many repos, where the same issue can be reported, but it is a false claim that this is related to steam deck only

Note on the Steam deck you can use the default "Keyboard (WASD) and mouse" as a starting point to get you close. I enabled "full keyboard support" and remapped some buttons in the control editor, then remapped the ingame controlls a bit. it is not good but it is playable. It does require touch screen inventory managment and some menus. but the rest is fine. After i finish a work around steam profile i will post a link to it. But i want to minimize the number of remaps in game.

This should work as a limp along method as long as mouse and keyboard work...

Fixed in 0.8.5
