Disable Auto Minimize

by Bestsoft100

Disable Auto Minimize is a Fabric client mod that stops Minecraft from minimizing when the player tabs out of a fullscreen window.

FabricClient-side onlyCC0 1.0 Universal1.15 – 1.21

What it does

The mod was made quickly after the author noticed that Minecraft's fullscreen minimized itself shortly after tabbing out, and that it could not be turned off. With the mod installed, the game keeps its window in front when focus moves to another program, so other windows can be used without the game dropping out of view. The game still enters exclusive fullscreen mode, which keeps input lag minimal. Only the client runs it, and files exist for 1.15 – 1.21, with 1.0.0 for 1.21 as the latest.

Key features

  1. No auto minimize

    The game window stays open when the player switches to another window, instead of minimizing on its own.

  2. Exclusive fullscreen kept

    The game still uses exclusive fullscreen mode, so input lag stays low.

  3. Other windows stay usable

    Other windows can be brought to the front while the game keeps running in the background.

What the author says

I quickly made this mod because I was annoyed by minecraft's fullscreen, but shortly after I made it I realized you can't move any other windows in front of the game window, so now this mod has been replaced with a more polished and customizable one: Borderless Fullscreen With this mod, Minecraft will no longer…
