Request for Adjustable Deadzone for Controller Support

As an avid player who primarily uses a controller, I've noticed an issue that has affected my enjoyment of the game: a lack of adjustable deadzone. On the Playstation 4 version of Minecraft, the deadzone is small enough that joystick drift can become very prominent. This significantly diminishes the gameplay experience, causing unintended movements or actions that can be frustrating, especially in scenarios that require precise control, such as intricate building or combat. Adjustable deadzones would allow players to customize the sensitivity of their controller's analog sticks, providing greater control and reducing the impact of drift. This could be achieved through an addition to the settings menu, where players can adjust the deadzone size to suit their preferences. I understand implementing new features requires time and resources, but I believe that by addressing this issue, Minecraft can become even more enjoyable and accessible to a wider audience of players. Thank you for reading

    I aggre 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.
