Game Version: 1.12.2
This mod is a very simple addition to the game that will allow you to make your game run in borderless windowed instead of the default fullscreen available in Minecraft.
Advantages of borderless windowed versus default fullscreen
- You can just hit Escape and use your other monitors without minimizing the game
- You can alt+tab out of the game more smoothly
- You can have other windows on top of the Minecraft client when it's not active
Great! How do I use the mod ?
- Move the Minecraft window to the monitor you want to use for fullscreen.
- Then simply hit F11 (or the key you have keybound for fullscreen).
- That's it! You'll get a borderless windowed client!
Is this compatible with <Mod X>?
This mod uses Forge and should be compatible with all mods you're using! Just add it to your pack or mod folder and you're good to go.
I found a bug! HELP!
Please head over to the issue tracker if you found a bug in the mod so it gets fixed.
Can I use Fullscreen Windowed (Borderless) in my modpack?
You are free to include this mod in any modpack without my explicit permission. I would like to hear about it, just out of curiosity.
This mod is great! I was just wondering if there’s any chance that this’ll be updated for (Forge) 1.15.1 in the near future?
This is one of the most taken-for-granted mods ever. It wasn’t until I tried disabling this mod that I realized how important this mod is.
It's not working for me on version 1.7.10
In reply to gyzr131:
I'm not sure where you see a 1.7.10 version on the side. This mod is meant for 1.10 and versions up to 1.12.
In reply to Lv44EnderShaman:
There is a 1.7.10 version, you just have to click through to files -> all files.
In reply to comp500:
Ah. Yeah, I had noticed when I had checked the Files section of the page. It's an honest mistake of mine; my bad. :)
Is it possible that this mod will get a Fabric version as well? That would be awesome as borderless fullscreen is annoying to set up on its own (I need it to record my screen)
In reply to Hexcede:
I'm thinking of rewriting this mod for Fabric 1.13/1.14/1.15. I did start work on a 1.14 Forge port of this mod (in my GitHub repo) but the original author doesn't seem to be responding, and I'd like to have his permission to use his code, if I'm going to. 1.13 also changed a lot of how fullscreen in Minecraft works, so I'd rather rewrite the mod if I'm going to port it anyway.
Will you be updating this mod to more recent versions? (A.T.O.P. the most recent version of Forge is 1.14.4)

In reply to tugboatnightowl:
Don't confidently comment something to show up the mod author unless you actually know what the mod does and understand the difference between borderless windowed fullscreen and real fullscreen. Why would the mod exist unless it had a real purpose? Because you just assumed it didn't have a purpose.
Check yourself.
Nice! Out of interest, is it possible to give this mod the ability to scale down the game's render resolution and then scale it back up (nearest neighbour interpolation?) to an appropriate resolution within the borderless window, using black for where the desktop would be? So, lower resolution for FPS but no impact on the actual size on screen.
It's a cool mod whatever you do, thanks for making it. I can finally alt-tab to Discord properly :D
Any plans on making it 1.13.2?
Thank god for this, I was getting so tired of having to rely on the always-crashing Borderless Gaming app (which also means I can close Steam)
Thank you!
Does this support 1.12.2?
In reply to SlicerNorthD79778:
I’ve tried it, and yes, it does.
Hey is there any plan or development going on for the newest versions of minecraft?
In reply to XpireMaximus:
This should work a treat with the joypad mod!
Any chance of getting this for 1.13.2?
