How to Make Minecraft Windowed: A Simple Guide
Last updated
Ever wondered how to switch Minecraft to windowed mode for a more compact view? You’re in the right place!
Let’s dive into how you can make Minecraft run in a window instead of taking up your whole screen.
Quick Steps to Windowed Mode in Minecraft
Getting Minecraft into windowed mode is super easy! First, you’ll start the game as usual. Once it’s up and running, press F11 on your keyboard. This magic button instantly toggles between full screen and windowed modes. Yep, it’s that simple!
If pressing F11 doesn’t work for you, don’t worry! You can also change the settings directly in the game. Just head to ‘Options,’ then ‘Video Settings,’ and look for ‘Fullscreen.’ Turning this option off will switch the game to windowed mode. You can then adjust the window size just like any other window on your computer.
