Controller analog stick dead zone setting

Set the distance that you have to push the stick away from the center before the movement registers. Currently there is no dead zone, which causes noticeable stick drifting even in good condition controllers. Stick drifting is, when the game acts as if the stick is being moved when it isn't. This is common in damaged controllers, but can be fixed with such a setting. This would make the game more fun to play without having to pay for a new controller.

    I just wanted to submit this idea by my self. My dual sense analog sticks both are severally damaged and drifting a lot. A dead zone setting would make the game way easier for everyone with a damaged controller. To be fair, yes, i could just buy a new one, but i actually can not afford to spend 70€ for that. So please Mojang, add a dead zone setting. Thank you.

    Hello,
    I am a player of Minecraft Bedrock Edition on PS4. I have encountered persistent joystick drift due to the small default deadzone. This causes unintended camera movement and makes precise control difficult, especially when building or interacting with the world.
    I would like to request that Minecraft add adjustable deadzone settings for controller analog sticks in the options menu. This would allow players to customize stick sensitivity and compensate for drift issues on many PS4 controllers.
    Thank you for considering this feature request.
