Description

Steam deck

Replace the name of your controller with this text

Conroller VID & PID

Replace this text with the vendor and product ID of he controller. This can usually be found within latest.log with Controlify detected. Attach here if you cannot find it.

I cannot find the product id and stuff but hopefully knowing it's a default steam deck oled will be enough to help me

The issue: The mod acknowledges my controler exists, but outside of testing calibration of the joy sticks nothing registers input as controller. Disabling steam input overlay did nothing.

Key details: This happens only in gaming mode, in 1.21.1 on newforge. It will work on this version in desktop mode, it will work in gaming mode on 1.21.11, but a few key mods I want are only updated to 1.21.1 so I need it on that version. I tried multiple releases of the mod for this version and all behave the same. If I turn steam input overlay on and set the controls to imitate the keyboard and mouse those work (but dont register as controller and defeat the purpose of the bedrock-like control integration). Everything including prism launcher is up to date.

Ive never commented on github like this so I hope Ive provided enough details.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in Steam Deck gaming mode on Minecraft 1.21.1 with NeoForge, then inspect latest.log for the detected controller details. Compare behavior with desktop mode and the working 1.21.11 setup; done means controller input registers normally without Steam Input keyboard-and-mouse emulation.
