It worked once (the bookworm version, the normal one never worked), but then I updated some system packages and boom, no more minecraft bedrock .

I'm not using archlinux anymore, since I no longer want to see surprises after updates without doing upgrades

As last resort you can try if the sdl3 framework is still compatible with your drivers
Otherwise try the AUR package and compiling this

The eglut fork used by current releases is planned to be phased out long tern.

Warning

this is a nightly, no applicable changelog, no applicable versioning
Like archlinux an rolling appimage

I tried to install the launcher with yay, but no aarch64 support...

Your OpenGL ES3 drivers seem to be broken due to your update, while your screenshot says some drivers are still there and could show information.

eglGetDisplay is returning an error, for both eglut and sdl3.

Due to using archlinux you are potentially unable to go back to the last known good drivers.

The Flatpak build usually uses the drivers from flathub sdks so this might be a try...
however flatpak usually cause driver issues due to this behavior for my own devices

Regarding bookworm vs non bookworm appimages, bookworm ones are built from debian bookworm with native wayland qt components and require a newer glibc system to run. (the sdl3 bookworm appimage / flatpak are wayland native)
On the other hand non bookworm appimages are for old distros like ubuntu 18.04+ (arm64) / buster+ (arm32) / ubuntu 16.04+ (amd64/i386), so it doesn't make sense to make the runnable on newer distros going forward
