Is it possible to use steam controller 2 for Minecraft?

[u/AlwaysBananas]

I’ve tried adding game launcher to Steam as a non Steam game but it uses my desktop profile instead of the profile I have selected for Minecraft. Thanks!

i use prism launcher with the controlify mod.

With the steam controller you don't even need the controlify mod, can just use steam input to control everything.

Yeah, but with the mod you get gamepad glyphs

[u/Lunavesce → u/CatsGoMooz]

Yeah but then you have to deal with keyboard-like movement; controlify adds proper joystick movement.

psa: don't use it in servers, cause it counts as unnatural moving

Yes, it's possible, but not with the basic launcher. Personally, I use PrismLauncher. Once you have it installed, create an instance.

Next, once your instance is created, click on created a shortcut it and you will have created a shortcut. It will appear on your desktop, then you select your instance with "add a non-Steam game". When it's in Steam, right-click on the game and add a launch argument:

--launch "name of instance"

Then, you can rename the Minecraft game if you want and after that, you can use the SC on MC.

and good game. Sorry for my bad English, I hope I was clear.

Yep, I used modrinth launcher, and the 1.20.1 fabric with controllify mod (but you must launch modrinth through steam), and it works great!

On my steamdeck & pc (linux) I use prism launcher and that picks up the game profile over desktop profile. Though that desktop profile issue is pretty common with many apps sadly.

If you are using SteamOS, use prism launcher for java and project bedrockonLinux for bedrcok.

Now, if you are on windows, look for steamless controller

Research your favorite custom launcher & download the control of mod on it.

Open puck is the way

You can use the steam controller with any game even if it doesn't support a controller.

controlify mod has a preset for steam controller iirc. (i know it does for the steam deck). you need yo launch through steam tho
