A few months ago, my Steam Deck arrived. So, obviously, one of the first things
I did was play Minetest. Whilst Minetest isn’t available on Steam yet, it is
available on Flatpak and so can be installed from desktop mode.
Minetest plays very well on the Steam Deck, it performs great and Steam Input
makes setting up controls easy. The Deck is an open console, so there’s full
support for modding and you can cross-play with other platforms.
In this article, I will explain how to set up Minetest on the deck, and review
the controls, performance, and experience. I’ve already written
my thoughts about the Deck
in another article, and recommend checking that out.
