Ok, keep trying to find a way to set up minecraft to utilize my dual monitor setup (albeit with the annoying center screen split issue, duh). I've been unsuccessful with finding a how to. Anyone know how to do it?
I tried this but from my experience, when you resize the minecraft window your mousepointer does not click the correct location on the screen. I don't have this issue with default size, maximized or if I resize but keep the aspect ratio he same.
I dont intend this to sound mean, Im just curious.
Why are you trying to make it go across both screens? One should be plenty enough.. unless I've missed a setting somewhere. The only thing that changes for me is making the blocks bigger - it doesn't seem to create a larger 'window area' to see into the game.
My statement is hard to udnerstand. Lemme see if I can explain better.
By stretching the javawindow from its normal size to larger, the only thing that I see affected is the size of the blocks (the same number of blocks are there) until I reach a certain size, which then causes the text and everything to go up one size larger - still keeping the same number of blocks on the window.
Personally, I like having it on one screen and my other monitor is for the forums, websites, and IM chat windows so that I can still see what's happening in minecraft window without having to tab in and out all the time.
Also, turning off explorer.exe sounds silly. Why not just have your taskbar only pop up when you hover over that area? Or is this not available anymore in new Window versions? (Either autohide taskbar, or uncheck 'keep taskbar on top')

not exactly true. when i stretch it out onto two screens (it doesnt fit right roughly 1.5 screens before it bounces back to a normal size) i can actually see a much wider view angle... meaning more content and not just bigger blocks.
When you stretch it wider without making it taller, it doesn't widen your viewing angle, it actually stretches things that are on the edge of the window. So a block might be knuckle width in the center of your screen but it might be 3 knuckles wide on the edge.
I've found it doesn't offer you a wider field of vision, it just scales up until it reaches the maximum of either vertical or horizonal (whichever is smallest) and then it starts to stretch, kinda.
