Window Rule Not Applying to Minecraft Window

[ArkhamCookie]

For some reason when trying to apply a windowrule to Minecraft, it doesn't work. I want to make it into a tiled window (instead of the floating it starts as).

Here is my window rule:

windowrule = tile on, match:class Minecraft*

@gab-dev-7 what made you decide to bomb many GitHub discussions with regurgitated AI slop?

Please STOP this.

Hopefully you get banned by @vaxerski

EDIT: Well that was quick... troll slop by @gab-dev-7 was deleted thankfully.

Unfortunately there's still about a dozen other threads with this nonsense.

EDIT 2: The forces of good are at work, and looks like all the slop has been removed from the various threads.

you forgot a dot my guy windowrule = tile on, match:class Minecraft.*

[MajedAlghoul]

then u are not doing this properly, can u run minecraft and share the output of hyprctl clients?

I just don't like it floating when I unfullscreen it.

Here is the output of hyprctl clients

try this: windowrule = tile on, match:class ^Minecraft*\s.+$

[C0Florent]

try this: windowrule = tile on, match:class ^Minecraft*\s.+$

Need to escape the *, otherwise you're matching for zero or more t then one whitespace character.
I'd suggest match:class Minecraft\*.* or something along those lines

This might be more about Xwayland games in general, they just don't like to follow the rules. Minecraft should run wayland native though and tile by default by enabling the native glfw tweak in prism. I hear that might have some cursor position issues though...

and for those who run minecraft in native wayland, on my end it doesn't set a class, its blank, so matching to initial title also works
