Getting Minecraft And Mods On Steam Deck Is Good And Simple

Want to get Minecraft working simply on Steam Deck or a standard Linux desktop without a lot fuss? Here is one way you can do it and it makes it easy. For this I picked the PolyMC launcher (a fork of MultiMC) available on Flathub, as the present official Minecraft launcher Flatpak doesn't save your password on Steam Deck and PolyMC of course deals with modding too.

Here is a current video information for you, with textual content steps beneath:

You'll find this video additionally on the Steam Deck part of the PolyMC Wiki!

Text steps:

- Set up PolyMC from the Uncover Software program Centre on Steam Deck, or Flathub immediately for desktop Linux.- Launch PolyMC and add your account in the highest proper corner. It supports both Mojang and Microsoft logins.- Go into the primary PolyMC Settings, click Minecraft in the left panel and click the choice to shut PolyMC when the game window opens. In any other case, loading in Sport Mode / Deck UI on Steam Deck it would flicker between the two home windows.- Ensure in the PolyMC Settings that Java is ready to the latest version, which is required for the most recent Minecraft.- Click on Add Occasion in the highest left, then choose both normal Minecraft or find some mods with the built-in search and it installs every little thing you need for you.- To have the ability to launch directly from Steam: go to the Video games menu up the top -> click add a Non-Steam recreation and then find PolyMC within the checklist.

Some YouTube comments advised trying out some optimized modpacks, however actually I didn't see an enormous enough distinction by way of efficiency or power use to make them actually value it on Deck in contrast with vanilla Minecraft when testing on the same map seed. Controller mods have been also instructed, however they're rarely updated and often only work with specific Minecraft versions so sticking with Steam Input and just adjusting a few keys is the only option for that.
