Hello! I’ve been playing the Bedrock version of Minecraft on Steam Deck with the help of MCPELauncher from the Discover store. Performance is generally great, except there are these massive performance spikes that cause the game to hitch every 30 seconds or so.

Sometimes specific actions can trigger smaller spikes, like when you open a chest or other inventory space, but the larger spikes happen pretty regularly and they don’t seem to be triggered by anything in particular. It doesn’t make the game unplayable, but it is a little distracting.

Has anyone else experienced this when using this version of MC on the Deck, or does anyone know of any solutions?

Notes: Non-OLED deck with CryoUtilities active. Minecraft is installed to an internal NVME drive and not a MicroSD card. Changing video settings doesn’t seem to have an effect.

Thanks for reading o7

    I experienced this exact same thing and I was never able to find a solution, unfortunately.

    I ended up just installing Java edition (prism) with a mod called controlify and that’s been working very well.
