I have two monitors, and when Minecraft is in full screen I can't move my mouse to the other screen without taking it out of fullscreen. Does anyone have a way to fix this? Maybe a setting on Windows or a mod.
That's true for anything in fullscreen. It's a limitation at the operating system level (AFAIK).
You can make it not do that but it doesn't do any good. As soon as you click anything away from the full screen window, it'll minimize itself.

"Sometimes, I just wanna give up, say 'I'm done with this mess' and go to bed. But you know what; you can't shrug off your responsibilities. You got to pull yourself up and meet the challenges head on. That's the only way you're gonna get ahead in life."
This is what worked for me. Large thanks to this guy on Reddit. What I have here is a more thorough adaptation of what he's done. See his post for some pictures if you get confused.
1. Open Minecraft and go into Options and then Video Settings. Make sure Fullscreen is turned off.
2. Close Minecraft. and open the Minecraft launcher
3. Click the Edit Profile button at the bottom left.
4. Enable the Resolution option. From here you have two options:
--- 4a. Edit the Resolution down to slightly smaller than your actual screen resolution, this way you don't have extra pixels on your next screen. My resolution's sweet spot was a reduction of 2 pixels in both width and height but for a Reddit commenter it was 10 pixels in both width and height. YMMV.
--- 4b. If you don't want to bother with that, you can simply maximize the screen once you actually open the game. The problem is that you'll have to do this every time you open Minecraft.
5. If you want to remove the border so it looks like fullscreen, do the following:
--- 5a. Enable JVM Arguments.
--- 5b. Go to the end of the textbox, add a space, and put in without quotation marks "-Dorg.lwjgl.opengl.Window.undecorated=true".
--- 5c. If you haven't edited your resolution down, once you are in-game use the Windows Key + Up Arrow shortcut to maximize the window.
6. Save Profile.
There is a possibility that our issue has to do with some sort of system keyboard shortcut we accidentally push. From what I recall, the problem seems to occur after my daughter attacks my keyboard, and I have seen a similar sentiment on another website, but I haven't been able to find any shortcuts that would do such a thing and it is entirely possible that the correlation does not equal causation. I believe the issue is actually likely to be a bug instead since turning on Fullscreen after these steps are done and then immediately turning it back off again completely disables the ability to maximize the game, which is exactly the same thing that happens when this issue is left unresolved and fullscreen is off. If you accidentally turn on fullscreen after applying this fix, you have to close the game and reopen it to have the option to maximize it again.

Actually, when I play other games in full screen I can move my mouse across the screens just fine.

Retired StaffThis isn't true at all for me, it binds my mouse and I can't even pull it out of the window, never mind actually use my mouse on a second monitor.
I have a nVidia chip also.

Retired StaffIt really is still in windowed mode, but it sets the size to match your monitor, and hides the borders of the window.
No I know it will move screen when Minecraft is open! Mine used to do that but i accidentally clicked a button on my keyboard and now it wont! HELP
