Fullscreen Windowed (Borderless) for Minecraft

Table of Contents

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.

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!

Hey, You said you were interested in usages of your mod in modpacks. Here's a Modpack I created that uses your mod. It's a Farming-oriented Modpack without technic stuff.

I've compiled a version that fixes window resizing after exiting fullscreen! You can find a download and further explanation here.

Credit for the fix goes to comp500.

Why is this a mod? you can literally do this in game... what is the point?

You just add "-Dorg.lwjgl.opengl.Window.undecorated=true" to the JVM arguments.

In reply to poolcool22:

It's true that you can add this to the JVM arguments and have fullscreen windowed mode working. However, you cannot have the game in windowed mode and resize it anymore.

That is why I created the mod two years ago - to have working F11 functionality between windowed and fullscreen borderless mode. Also, I wanted to be able to fullscreen to the current monitor, and not the primary one ( I have a beautiful ultrawide primary monitor, but streaming 21:9 would not be ideal). After making the original version of the mod, I assumed other people could also benefit from this so I packaged it on Curse.

The mod also has a few configuration settings that make it useful for streamers such as fixed window size & position. I expect the vast majority of users will never touch the mod configuration, and don't need these features, but the few that do appreciate them.

TLDR: If the tradeoffs of the JVM argument method don't impact you, you totally can use that and have borderless fullscreen. If you want more control about it, this mod provides the extra options.
