**Note:**  
Before bug reporting, please make sure you have tried the **latest** (alpha) version of BetterTouchTool and that you have already tried to restart your system :-). If you encounter a crash, please attach a crash log from the macOS Console.app's "Crash Reports" section.

**Describe the bug**  
For the past few months I’ve had a problem playing Minecraft. Unfortunately, I don’t know from exactly when, but I kept thinking it was related to bad game optimization, because the issues started happening right when I changed the game version from 1.21.11 to 26.2. Today, however, I connected the dots and it turns out the problem clearly comes from BetterTouchTool, because when I quit the app during gameplay, everything works as it should. The game also works properly when I set a conditional group to the game’s executable path and turned off the “Disable BetterTouch Tool completely” function. The problem manifests as the game stuttering, but it doesn’t stutter the entire game—only the mouse input it receives. As a workaround, I used exactly disabling BetterTouchTool completely during gameplay. However, I also use it for gaming and I never had any problems with it, and only for some time now has the issue described above been happening.

Most likely you don't need to disable BTT completely, but disable the Accessibility API related features. Often games do not support these properly. Disabling window snapping and AX Observation should be enough.

That's weird, so far this has helped in all game related cases. Possibly Minecraft is not detected correctly, it might need a conditional activation group to recognize it as active (via the process name variable) so BTT can disable the features on it

No, because I created the Conditional Activation Group and everything works correctly when I set "Disable BetterTouchTool completely" - that solves the problem, but unfortunately it means I can’t use gestures over the trackpad in the game

Possibly try to restart minecraft after window snapping has been disabled for it. (There are multiple reports here on the forum where that solves the issue, e.g. [Laggy clicking in some games/apps (namely Minecraft)](https://community.folivora.ai/t/laggy-clicking-in-some-games-apps-namely-minecraft/46921) )

I did it exactly, and it didn't help. I even restarted my MacBook
