Getting Minecraft And Mods On Steam Deck Is Nice And Simple

Wish to get Minecraft working simply on Steam Deck or a standard Linux desktop without much fuss? Here is one way you might do it and it makes it simple. For this I picked the PolyMC launcher (a fork of MultiMC) out there 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.

- Install PolyMC from the Uncover Software Centre on Steam Deck, or Flathub directly for desktop Linux.
- Launch PolyMC and add your account in the top right corner. It helps each Mojang and Microsoft logins.

- Ensure in the PolyMC Settings that Java is ready to the newest version, which is required for the latest Minecraft.
- Click Add Occasion in the top left, then choose both normal Minecraft or discover some mods with the built-in search and it installs every part you need for you.
- To have the ability to launch directly from Steam: go to the Video games menu up the top -> click on add a Non-Steam game and then discover PolyMC within the record.

Some YouTube comments instructed attempting out some optimized modpacks, but actually I didn't see a giant enough difference in terms of efficiency or energy use to make them actually price it on Deck compared with vanilla Minecraft when testing on the same map seed. Controller mods have been also instructed, however they're not often updated and infrequently solely work with particular Minecraft versions so sticking with Steam Enter and just adjusting a number of keys is the best choice for that.
