How to prevent mouse cursor escaping minecraft

Nitram2000 · Oct 30, 2022

When I play minecraft on Windows 10 with keyboard and mouse the mouse cursor escapes the window. It is full screen but sometimes the cursor manages to click the start menu (presumably when the mouse cursor is at the very bottom of the screen) or the title bar (at the very top). This makes the game unplayable. How do I persuade minecraft to run properly in full screen and capture the mouse?

Good afternoon

In this case it is still in windowed mode, but filling the entire screen, set the resolution to the same as you use in Windows and make sure you set it to full screen.

hello thank you for any advice you have

im on pc

my mouse cursor doesn't work to navigate in any menu, i have to use my arrow keys on my keyboard to get to a item or option in menus, but to select something in a menu i still have to use the left and right clip on the mouse

in game, out of menus the mouse works fine for movement and interacting with things

i didn't know if this was a glitch or a setting i need to enable to use my mouse cursor in menu or if this is just the intended way to operate in menus, but that doesnt seem right to me cause it feels very clunky

thanks again

i figured out if i hold down ctrl and escape the cursor will show up and will register in menu but as soon as i click it disappears again

That doesn't work. An easy way to test if you have mouse acceleration:

Place your mouse all the way on the right side of your mouse pad, and the cursor on the right side of your screen. Move the mouse very slowly to the left, and when your cursor hits the left side of the screen, put your left index finger on the mouse pad. Now do the same movement fast, and see where your mouse is, when the cursor makes it to the left side of your screen.

Hi HenriCard,

You are not supposed to see your mouse cursor when Minecraft is full screen. You are only supposed to see the mouse cursor when the game is paused or if you are in any kind of inventory screen.

If you would like to see your mouse cursor while in-game, I recommend that you run the game in Windowed mode.

If you are referring to the in-game crosshair and you are not able to see that, then I recommend that you uninstall and reinstall the game onto your computer. If the issue persists after that, then please reach out to Mojang and submit a ticket using the link below.
