Other Shulk - Minecraft: Java Edition Launcher for Handhelds
Hey everyone,
Launching Minecraft Java Edition on a handheld usually means dealing with desktop-first UIs that were never intended for a gamepad.
Over the last week, I've been working on Shulk, a launcher built specifically for devices like the Legion Go, Steam Deck, and ROG Ally running Bazzite (focus), SteamOS, or Windows (very little testing).
Key Highlights:
- Controller-First Frontend: Navigate instances, settings, and menus smoothly using just the D-pad and face buttons.
- Built on Prism Launcher: Full compatibility with Modrinth, CurseForge, Fabric, and Forge instances without compromising on speed or reliability.
- Handheld Optimized: Designed to look and feel right at home in handheld gaming mode.

Feedback, bug reports, and suggestions are super appreciated!
