Getting Minecraft And Mods On Steam Deck Is Nice And Simple
Want to get Minecraft working simply on Steam Deck or a normal Linux desktop without much fuss? Here's a method you would do it and it makes it straightforward. For this I picked the PolyMC launcher (a fork of MultiMC) out there on Flathub, as the current official Minecraft launcher Flatpak doesn't save your password on Steam Deck and PolyMC in fact deals with modding too.

Some YouTube feedback advised making an attempt out some optimized modpacks, but actually I didn't see a giant sufficient distinction by way of efficiency or power use to make them actually worth it on Deck in contrast with vanilla Minecraft when testing on the same map seed. Controller mods have been additionally suggested, however they're not often up to date and infrequently only work with specific Minecraft versions so sticking with Steam Enter and simply adjusting a few keys is your best option for that.
