How to get Minecraft Java on Steam Deck
To play Minecraft Java on your Steam Deck, first, you'll need to install the Linux version of Minecraft since the Steam Deck runs on SteamOS, a Linux-based OS. You can do this by enabling Desktop Mode on your Steam Deck, downloading the Minecraft Java Edition from the official Minecraft website, and then following the setup instructions. Make sure to switch back to Gaming Mode to enjoy Minecraft with your Steam Deck's controller support!
