Windowed Fullscreen
by PrincParshia
Windowed Fullscreen lets a client keep a fullscreen-sized game window that still exposes the taskbar and other system panels, with the window focus kept on Minecraft.
What it does
The mod changes how the game window is shown. Instead of an exclusive fullscreen mode that takes over the monitor, the game fills the available screen space as a window with its title bar hidden, so the system taskbar stays reachable. Pressing F12 switches the windowed fullscreen mode on and off, and F10 toggles the related borderless windowed mode.
The mod is a client-side only addition: only the player's client needs it, and a server does not have to run it. Files are published for Fabric and NeoForge, with builds for 1.21 – 26.2 across 16 release versions, and the latest Fabric and NeoForge files, 1.4.2, were released for 26.2 on 2026-07-02. The code is available as public source, but the mod is not open source and is licensed as All rights reserved.
Key features
Windowed fullscreen toggle
F12 switches the game between exclusive fullscreen and a window that covers the whole monitor.
Borderless windowed toggle
F10 switches to a borderless window that is sized like a standard maximized window.
Taskbar stays accessible
The system taskbar and other panels remain reachable while the game is shown at fullscreen size.
Hidden title bar
The window title bar is hidden in windowed fullscreen, which gives a cleaner look than a regular maximized window.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Players who prefer a fullscreen look but want the taskbar and other system elements to stay within reach. The mod is a client-side utility and does not change how a server runs.
How it compares
Borderless Windowed is a Fabric-only, client-side mod for 1.21 – 1.21.11 under All rights reserved, so it is not open source and does not cover the newer builds. Gyo is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only and covers 1.21 – 1.21.10 on Fabric. Streamproof is open source under the MIT License, works on Fabric and Quilt, and targets 1.21.11 – 26.1.2, a range that does not overlap the builds offered here beyond 1.21.11.
