We Can Now Easily Play Minecraft Splitscreen On The Steam Deck Thanks to a New Script

It's using PolyMC to launch multiple instances (depending on how many connected controllers there are) and automatically tile them. I would personally suggest using an optimized minecraft build like Fabulously Optimized to minimize any performance hit from having that many players.

Damn, I guess I'll have to check it out and see if my caveman vibe coding skills can do the trick.

the script makes various assumptions about the system ranging from

/home/deck is the users home dir, to kde plasma is the used desktop environment or can be launched from gamemode.

so probably not without tweaks ;)

*Heads*

"Damn it! All I can do with the left side is move! All the buttons are on the right!"

"Thems the rules!"

Does anyone know if it works on desktop Linux? My kids would go crazy over this.
