Experimenting with fullscreening Minecraft on AMD GPUs using specific drivers can lead to crashes or even corrupt your driver setup. This issue is particularly common with AMD Adrenalin versions 23.3.1 and 23.4.1. My tests covered various hardware, including RX 6800 XT and RX 6700 XT. Some systems simply stopped working after a crash, others required a complete reinstall, and a few needed GPU repositioning due to rejection. I've shared this problem on multiple platforms—AMD forums, YouTube, and Reddit—and have reported it several times. My tone was more of a "hear me!" statement than a request for help. Unfortunately, AMD hasn't acknowledged this bug yet. For Minecraft, driver 22.10.x showed performance drops, while 22.11.x caused visual glitches on certain releases. Driver 22.5.1 offered decent stability but was outdated, leading to compatibility issues with games like Fortnite and Hogwarts Legacy. Versions such as 1.12.2, 1.18.3, and Beta 1.7.3 tend to be more prone to crashes across the board. I'm considering upgrading to an nVidia GPU if this continues, as it would allow smoother gameplay without sacrificing too much performance. Thanks in advance for your support!

Based on what I've seen, crashes usually occur when another program—like YouTube running in the background—interferes. AMD drivers seem to clash with YouTube, which is why I face similar problems with Minecraft and Hearts of Iron 4. It’s the only AMD driver issue I’ve encountered, but it’s definitely frustrating. Loading Minecraft with mods takes a long time; it helps to close other apps first before starting the game.

Hi, I noticed a similar problem with your 6900XT (Powercolor RED DEVIL). The driver often crashes and restarts around 75% of the time when launching Minecraft. After reading this, I’m planning to try running it in windowed mode. Are others experiencing the same issues?
