Virtual Camera for Discord Screen Sharing

When Minecraft is in full screen with an Nvidia GPU, Discord screen sharing may not work properly. There are two workarounds:

Option 1: Play in windowed or borderless mode instead of full screen.

Option 2: Use the Toolscreen virtual camera:

  1. Go to Advanced > Settings and enable Virtual Camera.
  2. If the option is not available, you need to install OBS first. OBS doesn't need to be running — it just needs to be installed so the virtual camera driver is available.
  3. In Discord, instead of screen sharing the Minecraft window, screen share the virtual camera device.

The virtual camera can also be used as a video capture device source in OBS if you have issues with the game capture source.

Key Repeat Rate

To change how fast keys repeat when held down (useful for F3+F to increase render distance faster):

  1. Go to Advanced > Inputs > Keyboard.
  2. Adjust Key Repeat Start Delay — how long you hold a key before it starts repeating. Set this to at least 100 milliseconds. Setting it too low causes keys to register multiple times on a single press.
  3. Adjust Key Repeat Delay — the interval between repeats. Lower values mean faster repeating. Very low values (like 1ms) may cause lag.

Warning: If you set the start delay too low and get stuck on the pause menu because keys are repeating, click the Unpause button, then go back to settings and increase the start delay.

Config Folder Locations

The global Toolscreen config folder is located at:

C:\Users\<your username>\.config\toolscreen\

This is where Toolscreen stores its configuration files by default.

Per-Instance Config Override

If you want to override settings for a specific Minecraft instance:

  1. Go to that instance's folder.
  2. Inside the .minecraft folder, create a new empty folder called toolscreen.
  3. The next time you run Toolscreen on this instance, it will store its config files in that folder instead of the global one.

This is useful if you want different settings for different instances.

Pre-Launch Commands

Toolscreen automatically creates a pre-launch.txt file inside every instance folder it's installed in. Any text in this file is executed as a command whenever you launch the game.

Example: Automatically launch Ninjabrain Bot on startup:

"C:\path\to\javaw.exe" -jar "C:\path\to\ninjabrain-bot.jar"

Replace the paths with the actual paths to your javaw.exe and the Ninjabrain Bot JAR file.

You can have multiple lines for multiple commands. For example, launch both Ninjabrain Bot and Jingle:

"C:\path\to\javaw.exe" -jar "C:\path\to\ninjabrain-bot.jar"
"C:\path\to\javaw.exe" -jar "C:\path\to\jingle.jar"

You can use this to automatically start any programs you want.
