Hello guys! Im using the official minecraft launcher, and decided to give Beta 1.7.3 a try for that nostalgic feeling of playing it for the first time on my grandmother's ancient PC. However, even when full screen I get what you can see in the image above, and I cant find any settings to change the resolution.
Keep in mind, Im on a weird setup. Im on Arch Linux with bspwm and 2 monitors.
If I press F11 while fullscreen it cycles through several modes and eventually gets to one where the game looks right as it should, but unfortunately that disables my second monitor and I need to restart bspwm to get everything as it should be (otherwise it just duplicates the first monitor to the second one).
I read in some forum threads that where might be some java launch arguments that can set the resolution, but Im not sure how to do any of that from the MC launcher.
Any help is appreciated!
change the resolution of the screen to what the game expects. 1024x768 or whatever its using.
Im not sure if Im understanding correctly. The other commenter on this post at this time mentioned going into the settings for the launcher and setting resolution from there. If thats what you mean, I already tried 1920x1080. Ill try 1024x768 now and edit this comment with the result.
Edit: No change with 1024x768 either
Yeah I don't see the other commentator unfortunately. Federation can take some time. So yeah if reducing the resolution does not make the window bigger then its not going to work. Every reduciton should cause it to take up more screen with full screen only happening if the resolution of the screen is the same for the program in full screen. I don't have anything else as monitor resolution is the only time I have seen something like this.
