Comment on Mojang reveals The Sift as the first new Minecraft dimension in 14 years
TheSambassador@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoIdk, I visited my niece and nephew who love Minecraft. I came with my Steam Deck, and the recommended way to run Minecraft was through some 3rd party launcher that wasn’t officially Minecraft. It worked fine, but I kinda would have preferred an “official” pathway to running it there.

Yeah, I mean the only problem with the Steam Deck is that Steam OS (which is based on Arch) doesn't allow for package layering, otherwise you'd be able to use the official launcher which is on the AUR. I have no idea why they still haven't promoted that one to the extra repo yet. Given that Minecraft has been out for donkeys years now...There is clearly no incentive for them to launch it on Steam. They are big enough that they are fine without Steam for Minecraft.
