True Window is a utility mod designed to fix and improve the default window behavior in Minecraft. It ensures proper operation of the game's borderless window, fixes incompatibilities with screen capture programs (Discord, etc.), and allows recording applications (Medal or OBS) to properly detect the your custom title game.
Key Features
- Proper Borderless Fullscreen: No more awkward gaps or taskbar overlaps. A clean, immersive edge-to-edge experience.
- Smart Window Title: Change "Minecraft x.x.x" to whatever you want. Includes a "Title Guard" that keeps your custom name active even if other mods try to change it. Best for custom client.
- Content Creator Friendly: The window title system is specifically designed to work with Medal, OBS, and etc, ensuring your game is always recognized correctly.
- Replace Icons: Support for two icon modes (Standard and HQ). Use a .png image as a window icon or an .ico image for an even higher-quality icon after the game has loaded. The best option for a custom client.
- Smart Maximize: An optional feature that automatically maximizes the window when launching and exiting borderless mode ensures you'll never see an awkwardly small game window again. (Can be disabled)
Configuration
All settings can be found in
(1.7.10 - 1.12.2 Forge)
config/truewindow/truewindow.cfg
(1.13+ Forge)
config/truewindow/truewindow.toml
(1.16+ Fabric)
config/truewindow/truewindow.json5
To use custom icons, place your icon.png and icon.ico files in the
config/truewindow/ folder
For a high-quality .ico image, use a converter that can save most sizes in the finished file (256, 128, 64, 32, 16)
Why True Window?
True Window is the ultimate all-in-one solution for your game window. You get everything out of the box: proper borderless, custom titles, and HD icons. Additionally, it includes unique fixes and features that you won't find in other mods.
Compatibility
The mod will run alongside any other mods, even if they perform similar functions.
However... it's best to follow these recommendations to avoid strange game behavior:
- itlt: If you have this mod installed, be sure to disable the icon and title settings in its config. Otherwise, the mods will compete for window control.
- custom window title: True Window performs the same functions. It's recommended to choose one or the other. Otherwise, there will be competition for the game's title and icon.
- Borderless Mods: You'd better avoid using them together with true window to avoid window conflicts of the game window.
FAQ
Q: Do I need to install this mod on the server? A: No, this is a purely client mod.
Q: What do you mean by fixing the window detection by recording applications? A: Some recording apps only detect the game if the window is named "Minecraft". The mod uses a technique to keep the title clean for you while ensuring the software still recognizes the game correctly.
Q: How can I get an .ico image from my .png? A: Use an online .png to .ico converter. But choose a site that will convert most file sizes into a single file (256, 128, 64, 32, 16).
Q: The mod always maximizes the window on startup. Can I disable this? A: Yes. Change alwaysMaximized to false in the config if you want the game to keep its normal window size. Important: If the fullscreen: parameter in options.txt is set to true, the setting will be ignored when the game starts.
Q: Can I include this mod in my modpack? A: Yes, absolutely. This mod is built to improve the player experience.
