Borderless Mining changes the fullscreen option to use a borderless window that fills the screen. This allows you to have Minecraft open on one monitor, while using other programs on another monitor - as normally Minecraft minimises when you unfocus it.
This mod also adds the Borderless Windowed option to the Video Settings screen, so you can easily disable the mod ingame, and has a configuration menu accessible through Mod Menu.
This mod is a rewrite of a Forge 1.12 mod, Fullscreen Windowed (Borderless), however it used to be a fork of that mod (which the 1.12 version of this mod is) - see the bottom of the Curseforge page for the original description.
- Minecraft 1.13+ uses LWJGL 3, which completely changes how window management works.
- It technically uses borderless fullscreen when your fullscreen mode is the same as your display mode (Fullscreen Resolution: Current), but when you unfocus the screen it minimises.
- GLFW provides a way to disable this functionality with a window hint, GLFW_AUTO_ICONIFY, but this just makes a window that is atop all other windows!
- Therefore, this mod makes the normal fullscreen setting (controllable with a slider) use a window with no borders that covers the entirety of the current window. (although this can be configured)
- Unfortunately, this has slightly worse performance than the normal borderless fullscreen mode.
- On Mac, this mod is disabled by default, as it is impossible to position the window above the menu bar.
