Minecraft recording troubleshooting
Minecraft recording causes lag or FPS drops
DOR uses low-overhead background capture, so the impact is minimal. If it still struggles, switch to 720p/30fps mode in settings.
Minecraft records as a black screen in fullscreen
DOR captures fullscreen, windowed and borderless modes alike, none of the fullscreen black-screen issues common with OBS.
Will a recorder get my Minecraft account banned?
DOR only captures the screen and never touches the game client, so it doesn't conflict with Minecraft's anti-cheat.
Minecraft recording FAQ
Can I record Minecraft build timelapses?
Yes. Full recording keeps the whole session so you can speed it into a timelapse when editing, and one tap saves highlight clips.
Does it work on both Java and Bedrock?
DOR captures the screen, so Java and Bedrock record the same, mods and shaders included.
Will shaders cause lag while recording?
Low-overhead background capture keeps the impact small; if shaders are pushing your GPU, drop to 720p/30fps in settings.
Is it free? Is there a watermark?
DOR is free and adds no watermark.
Will it drop frames while playing Minecraft?
DOR uses low-overhead background capture, so the impact on in-game FPS is negligible.
What specs do I need?
Windows 10 or later runs DOR on most machines. Low-spec PCs can use 720p/30fps mode.
Can I change the Minecraft recording key?
You can remap the clip-save and manual-record keys to any key in DOR settings.
Where are my recorded clips saved?
Clips are organized in the DOR app library and can be shared to the DOR community or via link.
Is there a limit on recording time or clip count?
No time or count limits, record as much as your storage allows.
