Getting Minecraft And Mods On Steam Deck Is Good And Easy

Want to get Minecraft working easily on Steam Deck or a normal Linux desktop with out a lot fuss? This is a method you can do it and it makes it straightforward. 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 offers with modding too.

Here is a current video information for you, with text steps below:

Some YouTube feedback steered attempting out some optimized modpacks, however actually I didn't see a big enough difference when it comes to performance or power use to make them really value it on Deck in contrast with vanilla Minecraft when testing on the identical map seed. Controller mods have been additionally instructed, however they're rarely updated and sometimes only work with specific Minecraft versions so sticking with Steam Enter and just adjusting a few keys is the only option for that.
