Here because of the recent PolyMC debacle. Thanks for the video!

[LigerRhymesWithTiger]

THANK YOU! I was feeling like poo today and all I wanted was to lay in bed and play Minecraft. But not on my tablet, that's lame ;) This was easy peasy

Dark messiah was one of my earliest favorite games! You sir know a good game that I feel has been forgotten

[thesuperzfamilyvlog]

Worked perfectly! Thank you so much for this.

Hi when i type into the discover store nothing comes up

[Haych]

It's nice that they added it but it's easier to stick to PolyMC for now when you don't need to log in every time.

It would work great for me but the only problem i have is that i have to sign in to microsoft every single time i open it up on steam and with the steamdeck layout on the community page i cant access the keyboard and so i cant actually log in, do you possibly know a fix for this?

[freedomofmotion]

Logging in each time is a deal breaker. Any launchers that don't have this?

[mikelsaezdeeguilaz]

Could you do a video installing the bedrock one plz?

[labeep]

where do you find your save files when you install this way? Dolphin doesn't show the files but when I look in the minecraft launcher I can find them through it's internal file browser.

If you have a bedrock account and log into that on the steam deck will it still be java?

[miss.unfortunate]

Do you know how to add optifine to this on steam deck? Thank you sm for this video, I’m crossing my fingers it works since GDLauncher did not

[Inko_Inko]

Mojang AB is a third party launcher itself though?

[jacktech]

Hey idk if youre still looking at comments on this video, but if you are can you do a video on how to install optifine with this launcher

How do I make worlds download links with this method, I want to get the realms cape but I can’t figure out how people can download my world

[TofuProductionz]

isn’t it that if you have bedrock you get java too? y does it say i don’t own it

[trevskiskotty]

so you dont need java to install mods on it right ?

[lrcarlsen]

Anyone know where the folder is? I cant find it to put mods and stuff in.

[DoughsPickles]

Hey a another save thanks man also is it multiplayer

[rileywhitehead]

I cant seem to open a Microsoft login window. When I click on the Microsoft login, it just loads for a while then says it just "failed the login process".
