I am trying to setup minecraft pi edition to teach programming to my son. I have the model B pi setup with rasbian. However, when I run minecraft the mouse keeps constantly jumping which causes the view to reorient. This makes the game unusable. I have tried different power adaptors (thinking it might be usb power dropping), I have tried different keyboards, mice, and monitors. I have tried with minecraft maximized and in windowed modes. I have tried different configurations of memory sharing and overclocking vs no overclocking. No luck. The mouse seems to operate fine in x windows.

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.

thanks to anyone with ideas or info.

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.

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.

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.

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.
