About this Modpack

i made a modpack that you can use for playing minecraft on your steam deck.

use it in gaming mode, thats what i tested it in anyways

it has some performance mods and stuff
and a controller mod

theres some shaders, if you use those i recommend turning down your render distance to 16, youll get around 30 fps with that.

ill add support for more versions later.

if you have any complaints, join my discord server and ask for help in the general chat.

thats all

have fun playing minecraft on your steam deck
