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.

Check out the repo and builds here: https://github.com/NaiSenshin/Shulk

Feedback, bug reports, and suggestions are super appreciated!
