While using the new launcher, Minecraft no longer supports the use of Mac OS-X's built-in fullscreen feature which worked flawlessly on prior versions and was highly preferred by myself over the game's own( as it grants much more freedom of multitasking, allows me to reach other programs without rebooting the game's render engine, and increases game performance by isolating the render in a separate desktop space).

I'm referring to the fullscreen function in Mac OS-X versions 10.7 and newer, where any compatible window can be brought into its own desktop space as a fullscreen application. The screenshot included with the post shows 1.5's window with the fullscreen button present and a snapshot where it is missing. I can also confirm that it is still missing in the latest snapshot (13w18b).
It's probably just some little variable somewhere in the window protocols.
Grum, Feed The Beast adds a feature which allows you to use OS X fullscreen. It works perfectly. The FN+ALT F11 does break many conventions and is very un-intuitive. It is common procedure to support this in a Mac app.
And now the question is how, give some more details. How would one even go into this 'for one screen only fullscreen state' ? 🙂

So it looks like this may become an option again in the future.
I would greatly appreciate some kind of tabs being kept on this.
As someone who must use fullscreen but must also multitask, this is a very important feature to me.
I am keeping "tabs" on this and can report 13w36b seems to half-implement it.
You can, for instance, open notification center, but minecraft exits fullscreen.
You can also go into mission control, but the entire screen is black rendering it useless.
Lastly, you can go to other window pages, but they don't receive keyboard input.
Which fullscreen is not working? just maximizing the window? It works fine here 😞
