Display enhancements

The Windows build includes several display improvements for a better visual experience:
Press F11 at any time to toggle borderless fullscreen mode. The game uses your device’s native screen resolution instead of a fixed 1920x1080.

​
Fullscreen support

The game now supports borderless fullscreen mode, which you can toggle using the F11 key. This implementation is found in Windows64_Minecraft.cpp:683 and provides seamless transitions between windowed and fullscreen modes without changing display modes.

​
Dynamic resolution

Instead of using a fixed 1920x1080 resolution, the game automatically uses your device’s screen resolution. This ensures optimal display quality across different monitor configurations.

​
Platform support

Currently, only Windows is officially supported for building and running the project. The Windows build may run through Wine or CrossOver on macOS/Linux based on community reports, but this is unofficial and not tested by maintainers.
The project has been updated to compile and execute in both Debug and Release modes on Windows using Visual Studio 2022. While the source code contains references to other platforms (Xbox, PS3, PS Vita, PS4), native builds for these platforms are not currently functional.
