About this Modpack
Deck-Ify
Deck-Ify is a fast, lightweight and performant modpack made for the Steam Deck running on the Fabric Loader.

🚀 Performance is the priority
Deck-Ify is based on making performance as good as possible, whilst adding QoL specifically for the Steam Deck, it is tinkered specifically for the usage case of the Steam Deck's models.
If you are not using a Steam Deck or a similar handheld, I disadvise using this modpack due to how its configurations are probably not built properly for your system.It intends to give better performance than its competitors, whilst lacking the bloat that some of them provide.
Deck-Ify make rendering much better via mods like Sodium, optimize memory usage with mods such as FerriteCore and ModernFix. Deck-Ify attempts to keep 100% vanilla parity.
➕ Features
- Amazing performance (A stable 60 FPS on my LCD model)
- An easy to use and configure controller implementation
- Incredibly lightweight to save on your storage space
- Optifine parity
📦 Additional Features

- Community based translations (Contribute at the Loqui Website!)
- Bugfixes for the base game that may otherwise be inconvienent or annoying
- Input fixes

Frequently Asked Questions
Deck-ify server crashes or won't start – what to do?
Most common causes: insufficient RAM or wrong fabric loader. Check latest.log for "OutOfMemoryError" → increase RAM to at least 6 GB. For "Mixin" or "ClassNotFoundException" errors: modpack version and loader don't match. With Mado Hosting, loader and Minecraft version are auto-configured on modpack install – preventing most startup issues.
How much RAM does a Deck-ify server really need?
Minimum 4 GB, recommended 6 GB for stable performance. per 8 players. Important: Minecraft modpacks need more RAM than vanilla – plan extra per additional player. With Mado Hosting, you can scale RAM up live at any time without data loss (from €8/month).
Can I add custom mods to Deck-ify without conflicts?
Yes, but check compatibility: only use mods for the same loader (fabric) and same Minecraft version (1.20.6). Common issues: ID conflicts with recipe mods and incompatible coremod versions. The Mado dashboard mod browser only shows compatible mods and warns about known conflicts.
Deck-ify server lagging – performance tips
1) Increase RAM to 6 GB+. 2) Reduce server view-distance to 8 (server.properties). 3) Pre-generate chunks with the "Chunky" plugin. 4) Use /spark profiler to check which mods consume the most tick time.
