Getting Minecraft to work on Steam Deck

Getting Minecraft to work on Steam Deck

I cannot for the life of me get Minecraft to work, either using the Official Minecraft Launcher or with Prism Launcher using Controlify.

I have to admit, I'm not very good at navigating things on the Steam Deck, I'm not very technologically aware in this vein.

When I try to play with the official Minecraft Launcher, the controller (the built in joysticks/buttons/etc on the Steam Deck) works on the menu and such until I actually get into the game. Once I have a world loaded, I can't move around at all. I can't jump or walk, I can only look around using the camera and use the right trigger to mine whatever's close enough.

As far as the Prism Launcher goes, I cannot for the life of me get the controls to work at all. I get the error that pops up saying the controls were disabled because it's conflicting with the mouse and keyboard.

I tried getting my partner to help me (He isn't much better with this than I am) and he helped me go into the controller layout settings in Game Mode on the Steam page to put all the inputs to "None", as I found recommended somewhere. This didn't fix anything unfortunately.

I am at a loss and I don't really understand what I'm doing well enough to describe what I have tried/what I might be doing wrong.

At some point in the past I did actually manage to get it to work, but I stopped playing for a while, came back and tried to start a new instance and I think I threw out everything I had somehow managed to do right. I don't even remember what I did last time that worked?

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Here's the information I've tried to use:
