What happened?

Apologies, but I don't know what to try to do to fix this one. It was working perfectly before I updated.

There is nothing that we can do for your issue as we are not the developers of the software MESA or minecraft bedrock. Please report your regression to the appropriate upstream software developers at PiOS, MESA, and/or the MC Bedrock Launcher

I just tried installing Minecraft Bedrock and it immediately had the exact same error.

Usually launch errors are the app's fault, and we can downgrade it, but in this case there have been no pi-apps updates for this app for 10 months. So either the app has been broken for 10 months, or more likely you were correct that it was an OS update that caused the issue. Please do as gman said and open issues.

[Combustion-is-fun]

Until someone can find a way to use the flatpak, a temporary solution has been found. The app has not been broken for 10 months only 1. The app still functions on rpi 5 using the command: QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb GALLIUM_HDD=simple,fps ~/.local/bin/MCBedrock.AppImage

I hope this helps and of course always back up your worlds.
