Absolutely, the Steam Deck can run Minecraft Java Edition! Thanks to its PC-like architecture, you can install Windows on your Steam Deck and then run Minecraft Java Edition just like you would on a traditional PC. It's a bit of a workaround but totally doable for those Minecraft cravings on the go.
