Wiki - Minecraft not Working With Game Capture

Minecraft does not default to the high-performance GPU. To make it work with game capture, you will need to follow these steps:

This is mostly for laptops and all-in-one systems.

A first troubleshooting step is to make sure that the Game Capture source "Mode" is set to "Capture specific window", and select javaw/Minecraft in the "Window" drop-down

Close OBS and Minecraft

- Start the Windows 10 Settings App (Start button + Cogwheel icon).

Navigate to System and select "Graphics Settings" at the bottom

Select "Desktop app" or "Classic app" and click "Browse".

After Minecraft/javaw.exe has been added, click on "Options" to choose "High Performance".

The javaw.exe is typically located here:

For Minecraft Vanilla Java edition 1.16 and up:

%localappdata%\Packages\Microsoft.4297127D64EC6_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Local\runtime\jre-legacy\windows-x64\jre-legacy\bin\javaw.exe

For Minecraft Vanilla Java edition 1.17:

%localappdata%\Packages\Microsoft.4297127D64EC6_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Local\runtime\java-runtime-alpha\windows-x64\java-runtime-alpha\bin\javaw.exe

For Minecraft Java edition 1.18:

%localappdata%\Packages\Microsoft.4297127D64EC6_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Local\runtime\java-runtime-beta\windows-x64\java-runtime-beta\bin\javaw.exe

You might not find Javaw.exe in the default location when you use the Lunar Client or Custom Launcher. It may instead be located in a subfolder of the launcher. Here's how you can locate the file:

- Launch Minecraft(the game, not just the launcher) - Press Ctrl+Shift+ESC(Escape) to open Task Manager - Right-click OpenJDK Platform binary and select "Open file location" - The folder that opens is the location of your javaw.exe. Scroll to the top and use that path to find the right javaw.exe to set to High-Performance Graphics.
