Getting Minecraft And Mods On Steam Deck Is Good And Easy

Want to get Minecraft working simply on Steam Deck or a traditional Linux desktop without much fuss? Here's one way you could do it and it makes it easy. For this I picked the PolyMC launcher (a fork of MultiMC) accessible on Flathub, as the current official Minecraft launcher Flatpak does not save your password on Steam Deck and PolyMC of course offers with modding too.

Text steps:

- Set up PolyMC from the Discover Software Centre on Steam Deck, or Flathub directly for desktop Linux.- Launch PolyMC and add your account in the top proper corner. It supports each Mojang and Microsoft logins.- Go into the primary PolyMC Settings, click on Minecraft within the left panel and click on the option to close PolyMC when the game window opens. In any other case, loading in Game Mode / Deck UI on Steam Deck it's going to flicker between the two windows.- Ensure in the PolyMC Settings that Java is set to the latest model, which is required for the most recent Minecraft.- Click on Add Instance in the highest left, then decide both regular Minecraft or discover some mods with the constructed-in search and it installs every part you want for you.- To be able to launch immediately from Steam: go to the Games menu up the highest -> click add a Non-Steam recreation and then find PolyMC within the checklist.

Some YouTube feedback prompt attempting out some optimized modpacks, but really I didn't see an enormous sufficient distinction by way of efficiency or power use to make them truly worth it on Deck compared with vanilla Minecraft when testing on the same map seed. Controller mods were additionally advised, but they're hardly ever up to date and sometimes solely work with particular Minecraft variations so sticking with Steam Enter and simply adjusting a few keys is the best choice for that.
