Fullscreen Tweaks Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
Where do I find the Fullscreen Settings button?
Open your Options menu in Minecraft and look for the Fullscreen Settings button—it appears alongside your other display options. The button's position may vary depending on your mod version and other installed mods.
What's the difference between native and borderless fullscreen?
Native fullscreen uses your graphics card's exclusive display mode and typically offers better performance, but may minimize when you click elsewhere. Borderless fullscreen fills your screen without exclusive control, so Minecraft stays visible when you interact with other windows or monitors.
How do I stop Minecraft from minimizing when I click another monitor?
Enable the "Prevent native fullscreen minimization" option in your Fullscreen Settings, or switch to borderless fullscreen mode instead. Either approach keeps the game window visible when you click on other screens or applications.
Can I make Minecraft stay hidden in my taskbar while it's loading?
Yes—enable the "Start loading screen minimized" option in Fullscreen Settings. The game window will remain in your taskbar during startup and automatically appear once loading finishes.
Do I need to install this mod on my server?
No, this mod is client-side only and works entirely on your computer without any server changes. You can use it on any server, including vanilla servers.
Where are my mod settings saved?
Your Fullscreen Tweaks configuration is automatically saved to an external configuration file on your computer. Your settings persist between game sessions without requiring manual saving.
Can I set the loading screen to be different from my main game display?
Yes—the "Loading screen" option lets you choose whether the startup screen appears windowed, fullscreen, or follows your default display preference, independently from your in-game fullscreen setting.
What happens if I enable borderless fullscreen on a multi-monitor setup?
Borderless fullscreen fills your active monitor (the one where Minecraft is running) without affecting your other displays. You can freely click between monitors and applications without the game minimizing.
Does this mod affect my game performance?
The mod is lightweight and primarily manages window behavior rather than rendering, so performance impact is minimal. Native fullscreen may perform slightly better than borderless mode depending on your graphics card.
Can I toggle fullscreen with a key while these settings are active?
Yes—the standard fullscreen toggle (F11 by default) still works and respects your Fullscreen Tweaks settings. Your chosen fullscreen mode and focus-loss behavior will apply when you use the hotkey.
