Hello, i bought a steamdeck and i wanna switch to windows and play minecraft (ik its also possible at steamos) i get 60fps in steamos and i watched a video where minecraft was running flawlessly with shaders on steamos but with just 15 fps on windows. The video is about 2 years old and i wonder if the situation got better because i just cant believe that such a huge performance gap exist since most games run flawlessly on win11
I want to suggest you not to use Optifine for Shaders on the Steam Deck.
Use the Prism Launcher or Modrinth Launcher, and install the mods Iris Shaders & Sodium + Lithium for the optimal experience, also make sure you install a controller mod that support the Steam Deck!
Edit: This will give you approximately 200-300 FPS without shaders, well over 60+ with!
Did you experienced minecraft on win11
On a computer with Windows 11 yes.
But not on steamdeck or. MY GOD WHY IS MINECRAFT SO LAGGY AT WINDOWS AT THE STEAMDECK WHYYYYYYYYYYYY (my expectation)
This video really SCARES me :( https://youtu.be/tdBSYulSqNQ?si=fsViJAgciIDkv7fd i wanna use windows so much but this is just sht :(
Windows on a Steam Deck is honestly not the recommended vision right now… and it’s Minecraft JAVA edition, runs on any operating system.
Seeing you are on the Steam Deck reddit most of us are SteamOS users on our Decks, thus it’s a recommended way! But you can always use Windows. Eitherway it works both ways.
Just like I said, do not use Optifine. Especially on on a Steam Deck there’s way better mods for shaders and performance.
