Dynamic Window Resizing Disabled in the Newest Version of Minecraft.


I have been accused before of being a Microsoft fanboy because i wildly prefer Windows to Mac. That is not true at all. I disagree with ALOT that Microsoft has done in the past. I never bought any of their consoles, i disagree with many of their policies regarding software, and when they bought out mojang, I was skeptical to say the least. I really hope that what i am seeing now is not a reflection of what is to come.

So i was playing minecraft the other day after downloading the newest version and was very displeased to learn that i couldn't have my game take up half of my screen anymore.
The newest version of minecraft has disabled dynamic window resizing and i am actually quite surprised to find out nobody else is talking about this. The fullscreen option is still available by pressing F11 but otherwise, the only option you have now is a really small window if you want to use the latest version. While it may be a minor thing right now, it may perhaps be a precursor of what is to come with minecraft. Messing with something that never needed to be messed with.

I personally may stop playing minecraft as much because of this change. I often like to have minecraft take up one half of the screen and youtube take up the other. and the default size of the window is just too small for a 27' 2560x1440 monitor.

I am watching you Microsoft.
