How to Install
Since the modrinth launcher has a few issues on SteamOS, i reccomend using Prism Launcher:
- Switch to desktop mode
- install prism launcher via Discover (the build in app store)
- Import the .mrpack
- create a shortcut for the mincraft installation
Make sure the shortuct program is
flatpackand The arguments are"run" "org.prismlauncher.PrismLauncher" "--launch "YOUR_INSTALLATION NAME""

Recommended Settings
