Description

Hi. Could you add support for launchers that allow you to run Minecraft Java on Android? There are features that do not allow you to directly read the HID of the device, is it possible to add some kind of bypass to this situation? I get an error when trying to launch a game with a mod such as

Failed to start controller HID service! If you are on Linux using flatpak or snap, this is likely because your launcher has not added libusb to their package

Research direction

Start by locating the code path that emits “Failed to start controller HID service!” and trace how launcher access to HID/libusb is checked. Compare the Android launcher constraints described in the issue, then define the supported bypass and verify that Minecraft Java can launch without the error while existing HID support remains intact.
