FAQ

  • Q. Why is minecraft so small and part of my screen white?
    • A. You probably have screen scaling on or are using a high DPI screen. There are 5 possible ways to fix this:
      • The best option is to install Gambac: https://modrinth.com/mod/gambac
      • You could also pass the following string in as a java argument in the settings tab
        • -Dsun.java2d.uiScale=1.0
      • You could also install ClientsideEssentials mod or UniTweaks and use their screen scaling fix from GCAPI config options (fix may produce small artifacts with this option)
      • You could also change the DPI settings for Prism Launcher to system
      • Or, you could change your screen scaling to 100%
