Windowed Fullscreen Mod FAQ

10 questions players actually ask, answered.

How do I enable borderless windowed mode?
Open your mod configuration settings (usually accessible from the main menu or mod options) and toggle the borderless windowed mode option on. Restart Minecraft for the changes to take effect.
Can I use this mod with multiple monitors?
Yes, borderless windowed mode works well with multiple monitors. You can move the Minecraft window between monitors or position it to span across them, and you'll retain the ability to click on other windows without minimizing the game.
Will this mod affect my game performance?
Borderless windowed mode typically has minimal performance impact compared to exclusive fullscreen, though some players report very slight differences depending on their system. The trade-off for multitasking ability is usually negligible.
How do I switch back to regular fullscreen?
Disable the borderless windowed mode in the mod's configuration settings and restart Minecraft, or use the in-game video settings to switch to exclusive fullscreen mode if available.
Can I resize the window in borderless mode?
You can adjust the window size through Minecraft's video settings menu while in borderless windowed mode. Some configurations allow dragging window edges, though this depends on your operating system and mod settings.
Does this mod work with other mods?
Borderless windowed mode is generally compatible with other mods since it only affects how the game window displays. However, conflicts are rare—if you experience issues, try disabling the mod temporarily to confirm it's the cause.
Why does my cursor sometimes get stuck or behave oddly?
Borderless windowed mode can occasionally cause cursor behavior issues when switching between Minecraft and other applications. Try toggling the mod off and on, or check if your graphics driver needs updating.
Can I use Alt+Tab smoothly with this mod?
Yes, that's one of the main benefits—Alt+Tab works smoothly in borderless windowed mode without needing to minimize the game window first, making it ideal for multitasking.
What if the game window goes off-screen?
Move your mouse to where the window should be and try dragging it back into view, or disable borderless windowed mode in the config file to reset the window position to default.
Does this mod work on Mac or Linux?
Compatibility varies by platform and mod version—check the mod's documentation or community forums for your specific operating system, as borderless windowed behavior differs across Windows, Mac, and Linux.
