Pack setup

How should I set up Steam Deck Core for players and a server?

Use Steam Deck-1.17.1-1.0.zip as the pack version. Install the pack as its own launcher instance. The creator’s listing does not name a separate server file, so check the release notes before setting up a dedicated server. Do not upload the ordinary client folder blindly.

Client instance Install Steam Deck-1.17.1-1.0.zip
Dedicated server setup Match Steam Deck-1.17.1-1.0.zip
Pack loader Forge 37.1.1

A pack is a matched client and server setup, not one mod with an install-side label. Keep its release, loader, manifest and overrides together.

Referenced mods 4
Client only 0
Server only 0
Not labelled 4

These numbers come from the pack file you chose. “Not labelled” means we don’t know which side it belongs on—not that it is safe everywhere. The file count is not a RAM estimate.

What are the server requirements for Steam Deck Core?

Steam Deck-1.17.1-1.0.zip on 1.17.1. The pack contents and setup notes below stay tied to that release.

4 mods in this pack file

The selected pack release is Steam Deck-1.17.1-1.0.zip. That file is for Minecraft 1.17.1 with Forge 37.1.1. It contains 4 mod projects. The creator’s listing does not name a separate server file. Check their notes before using one, and do not upload an ordinary client folder or rebuild the pack mod by mod. A file count cannot tell us the right RAM, CPU or storage; size the server for the players and world you actually run.

About this project

What kind of pack is Steam Deck Core?

A basic modpack for playing minecraft java edition on steam deck, with some built-in mods for easing gameplay

Inludes:

  • Appleskin for seeing saturation

  • Journeymap for minimaps

  • Controllable for steam deck controlls

  • Controlling for setting controls

To install follow this video guide: https://youtu.be/Tpk5a1X_5jY

Additionally I recommend setting these controls:

  • L4 ctrl

-L4 add subcommand, J, this lets L4 turn the minimap on and off

  • L5 T, for chat

  • R5 B, for waypoints with the minimap

this leaves R4 free for your own settings, or actiion layers
