How to Stop Minecraft From Minimizing When You Click Another Monitor

The Core Fix

The reason Minecraft minimizes when you click away is that it is running in exclusive fullscreen. Cubes Without Borders solves this by offering a Borderless mode, which behaves like a normal window stretched to fill the screen. Go to Options → Video Settings and cycle the Fullscreen toggle until it shows Borderless.

Once set, click on any other application or monitor. Minecraft keeps running and stays visible instead of dropping to the taskbar.

Why This Helps Multi-Monitor Setups

In borderless mode the operating system treats the game as a regular window, so it does not grab exclusive control of the display. That means you can watch a video, read a wiki, or chat on a second screen while the game continues rendering in the background.

If It Still Minimizes

• Make sure you selected Borderless and not standard Fullscreen.
• Check that no other mod or overlay is forcing exclusive fullscreen.
• If you launch with a custom profile, verify the --borderless flag is present or that your saved setting was not overwritten.

Because the mod adds no extra input latency, gameplay stays responsive while you multitask.
