Looking forward to this one on Steam Deck since it'll support support Linux out of the box! in c/steamdeck@sopuli.xyz

Bedrock Minecraft on the SteamDeck? in c/steamdeck@sopuli.xyz
[–] Voodoo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I 've been playing minecraft bedrock using the steam deck, over LAN with my daughter on the Windows PC. We needed two Minecraft accounts $29 from Microsoft. The deck controls worked identical to Xbox controller once I loaded the Minecraft bedrock launcher from the discover app and added it as a non steam game to game mode. That was the key to get the controller to behave right. It all works like a dream now and is super fun!

Thanks everyone for the educational responses! My daughter and I are now happily playing in one of her bedrock worlds on LAN using the steam deck. Steam deck setup for the bedrock launcher was a bit tricky but now it runs awesomely, in game mode, and even has the exact same controller setup. If anyone is curious about how to set this up I'd be glad to help, I had lots of tricky missteps on the way, but I got there.

Looking for answers to simple Minecraft questions (lemmy.world)
 

Hi folks,

I introduced my daughter to Minecraft and we have both been playing a great deal on my PC (on Bedrock). I enjoy survival and creative modes but she is more into creative mode. I've just ordered a Steam Deck and am planning to install Minecraft on it (as I have learned, it would be Java which is fine). Here's what I was wondering:

I'd like to try playing multiplayer with her, each with our own character, and play together (one of us on the Steam Deck and one of us on the PC). We have not played at all online (she's only 7) and I am inexperienced with servers so forth. I'm looking for some advice on what the best setup is. Do we each need our own Minecraft account? Do we need to play on Realms or something like that? I'd like for us to be able to play creative or survival together. Is there some easy cool way to play together over the home network, sort of old school LAN style? Ideally I'd like for us to play alone together (I'm not ready to have my 7 year old daughter socializing online, I think).

Here's a blocky Santa she made last christmas! I hope this post is not painfully cringe or newby.

I'm unable to reply to comments on Jerboa. Not sure if it has to do with the recent version updates.
