• Re: minecraft on raspberry pi mouse issues

    From Olivier Morin@3:770/3 to michael...@gmail.com on Mon Feb 15 12:05:03 2021
    Hi, just got a raspberry pi with Minecraft-pi edition installed on it. I am also trying to show my son how to program.
    We are REALLY stuck since Minecraft-pi starts and goes directly to fullscreen mode without giving us a chance to move the window side-by-side with the python editor/shell. We tried using two monitors, we tried Avery combination of keys. We tried killing
    processes at the console...

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Has anyone else experienced this issue? I have searched google, raspberrypi.org, etc and can't find anyone experiencing the same issues. Next steps are trying a complete SD card wipe, reinstall everything, and then buying a replacement pi.

    Sounds like a mouse issue. Though I've never seen that with a



    USB mouse, only with a PS/2 mouse sometime around the transition



    from COM port mouses to PS/2 mouses. When I had that, whichever



    way I moved the mouse it always went down and left. IIRC the



    solution was in the configs somewhere. But... big but: The



    technology is well established now, and this shouldn't be the



    probelm you're seeing.







    Check the mouse with another computer to rule out a hardware



    problem.







    Justin.

    Unfortunately, I have tried 3 different optical USB mice and the problem still occurs.
    Figured it out. The issue was the SD card. I reformatted the SD card and installed Noobs/Raspbian. Now the mouse is working properly.

    Did you google it? I've just googled

    how to get out of fullscreen mode in minecraft-pi

    and got some possibilities suggested. One suggested ...

    F11 for Fullscreen

    By default, F11 (Fn + F11 on some keyboards) toggles fullscreen mode.

    If that doesn't help, pause the game (by pressing Esc) and go into
    Options# # Controls# and check your keybinding for toggling fullscreen
    mode (under the "Miscellaneous" section).

    Alternatively, you can go into Options# # Video Settings# and click
    "Fullscreen: ON" to turn it off manually.
