Keyboard Mapping didn't work

[AnigamerWasTaken]

For some reason, when i launch the game, it says that the gamepad/keyboard mapping is missing, so it creates it's own mapping, and the mapping is terrible. I downloaded the launcher on the pop shop, can anyone help?

Do you have problems with your Keyboard and / or a Gamepad? Two different things

Keyboard input not working fine.

make shure to select a normal en-US keyboard layout, not the en-US international keyboard layout which doesn't work
In the settings of your linux distribution.

numpad doesn't work, broken on android too

Are your gamepad button, axes hats swaped?

Create a correct gamepad mapping and open a pull request to https://github.com/gabomdq/SDL_GameControllerDB/

A utility to help creating such a mapping can be found here
https://generalarcade.com/gamepadtool/
create your own mapping and put it into this file
~/.var/app/io.mrarm.mcpelauncher/data/mcpelauncher/gamecontrollerdb.txt

The supplied file used by the launcher can be found here https://github.com/gabomdq/SDL_GameControllerDB/blob/master/gamecontrollerdb.txt

If your own mapping is rejected you still get the warning with an sample mapping which was accepted by glfw the window provider

Please note the mappings needs to be in ~/.var/app/io.mrarm.mcpelauncher/data/mcpelauncher/gamecontrollerdb.txt to be read by the flatpak version.
