HarmonyLinkMC
by Jordonbc
HarmonyLinkMC is a client-side optimization mod that adapts Minecraft settings to the device it runs on, such as a handheld like the Steam Deck.
What it does
HarmonyLinkMC adjusts game settings according to the power and docking status of the device, aiming for a tailored experience that suits the player's preferences and the device's capabilities. Only the client needs it, so players install it on their own machine and servers run without it. Its companion, HarmonyLinkServer, has to be active for the mod to work as intended, and the mod's author lists the Steam Deck as a supported handheld.
Installation means placing the mod file in the mods folder of the Minecraft directory, with Fabric or Forge already installed, and starting the game while HarmonyLinkServer is active. The mod is open source under the MIT License and requires Architectury API. Files cover five game versions 1.19 – 1.19.4, with 0.1.0 for 1.19.4 as the latest build for both loaders.
Key features
