Issue confirmed by Minecraft Developer MOJANG, whom has stated the issue can not be fixed by them, it must be fixed by AMD.

https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-274190

Issue also popping up on Reddit and Minecraft Forums.

AMD must fix this issue immediately, or suffer the consequences of our armies of Creepers being sent to their Headquarters.

This effects Adrenalin Driver 24.6.1

Rolling back to Adrenalin Driver 24.5.1 resolves the issue; but this is not a suitable "fix" to constantly swap back and forth between Drivers.

Also for the record my PC is running a Ryzen 7 7800X3d which is paired with a Radeon RX 7800XT Nitro+.

i have the same issue and same solution with a 6650 xt. in my testing, minecraft turns black when you resize the window or fullscreen it.

the video below shows this happening, albeit with some mods however this still occurs without them.

Yup im also having this issue now, 7900xtx with the latest driver 24.6.1.

and like above me i can start the game small windowed but any attempt to make it larger causes a black out

[Nazrex]

My original issue has nothing to do with Resizing the Window.

My issue is, Minecraft LAUNCHES to a Black Screen. 

I do not even have access to the game settings menu, and therefore can not resize the Window.

[mangoesw]

that's what i thought the issue was too, but then i did some testing and realized its not actually the launching, but the resizing, but it looks like it's the launching because the game fullscreens immediately upon launching.

i went into options.txt and disabled fullscreen from there so that the game window wouldn't resize or fullscreen and the game did not turn black. then, when i manually resized the window, it immediately turned black, and the same with when i also reenabled fullscreen.

Well that could be a "temporary fix" ... but its far from a permanent solution.

I found another fix on REDDIT last night...

Someone reported going into their Adrenaline Software and adding the "javaw.exe" file, from the minecraft folder, to their list of "games" and disabling "OpenGL Triple Buffering" on it.   

They reported that this fixed it for them, so I tried it... and it fixed it for me too...

BUT... again, this is not an actual "solution" and is only a "temporary fix" as clearly AMD changed something in their Drivers to have caused this problem in the first place, which argues that AMD still needs to fix it.

FIXED for me

This is how mine was acting too, all the same symptoms and had to change option.txt full screen to false. 

after that I started playing with settings in Adrenaline Software, focusing on ones that may affect scaling and res. I turned Triple buffer OFF and turned Integer scaling ON for Minecraft. restarted the game and now it works in full screen.

I believe the integer scaling is monitor specific so make sure you turn it on for the correct monitor if you use multiple.

Hope this fixes it for everyone else

Update

well that only fixed it till I restarted the launcher, messed with some more setting and now it has worked 5 times in a row of fully shutting down the computer and loading Minecraft launcher with no issues.

here are screen shots of the settings I am using.

changed aspect ratio to preserve aspect ratio also turned triple buffer back on.

In Minecraft changed Full screen resolution to "current"

I will update again if any further issue arise

Same issue here;

Os: Windows 10

CPU: R7 2700x

GPU: RX 7800xt

RAM: 32gb 3200mhz

Adrenalin Ver: 24.6.1

[peruka93]

Could you please test the most recent Adrenalin 24.7.1?

[mangoesw]

fixed on 24.7.1 for me

[Mifu]

Please fix this AMD
5700X3d
6600xt

Same issue, factory reset the driver won't help at all

[Mifu]

Revert to 24.5.1 actually fixed the issue. But it will have trouble running fallout....

[Mifu]

24.9.1 still occur this error after 5 mins of gameplay in Minecraft

[sputnikvii]

My sons Laptop with Adrenalin 24.9.1 had the Black screen issue when starting the game today. 

So I found this reddit and just disabled the Triple buffer setting in the AMD Adrenalin Driver Settings, the integer scaling is on = Minecraft is working = son is happy again. 

[NotNoobody]

How did you turn integer scaling on?

[sputnikvii]

Open your Adrenalin Software and go to the Display options and then look for the setting.

e. g. a googled picture :

On the Laptop it was "enabled"...

As of 10/30/2024:

Disabling the OpenGL Triple Buffering allows you to play normally again. Currently playing Minecraft 1.20.1 with 100+ mods.

[Mifu]

Mine has already been disabled.
24.10.1, and this is still happening. 

24.5.1 have 0 problem so they mush have change something that affecting Minecraft

[dinky]

I'm having this issue as well.  My set-up is:

Drivers: Adrenalin 24.10.1 

GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6650 XT

OpenGL Triple Buffering:  ON and OFF

Minecraft Java versions:  1.19.1, 1.20.1, 1.21.3

MY CURRENT WORKAROUND / SOLUTION:

I did find a mod that appears to fix this issue:  Cubes Without Borders. It is available on CurseForge for Fabric, Forge, and NeoForge:  https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/cubes-without-borders 

I've tested it 1.20.1 and 1.21.3, and I am able to switch to and from full-screen and manually resize the window without any issues.  In Minecraft Video options I have full-screen set as "Borderless Full-screen".  I haven't had any problems with it so far, and I have added it to a large modpack without any issues.

I hope this will at least help a few people until AMD can fix the problem.
