I just bought Minecraft, and I’m facing some frustrating UI scaling problems. As soon as I downloaded it, I noticed it’s not using my screen’s native resolution. Instead, it’s downscaling everything. My screen resolution is 2712×1220, but Minecraft doesn’t seem to respect that. I’m really regretting my purchase right now and need a fix.

If the UI scaling and resolution problem is giving you a headache, and you’ve exhausted all other options, consider adjusting the in-game settings to force the resolution manually. Also, check if there are any software settings on your device that could be interfering with how Minecraft reads your screen resolution. This might help restore your display to normal.
You should definitely avoid using the beta versions unless you’re testing features, as they are often full of bugs that can mess with stuff like UI scaling. Try opting out of betas and go back to the stable release to see if that solves your issue. But you mentioned it’s the same for the stable version too, which is odd.
If none of the official versions work for you, you could try an older version of Minecraft, especially if your device is a bit dated. The issue might be that your hardware isn’t fully compatible with the latest features in the Bedrock Edition. There are places like the Internet Archive where you can find older versions that might run more smoothly on your system.
Using the stable release of Minecraft is usually your best bet for avoiding glitches like this, but since you’re having problems with both beta and stable releases, maybe try updating your graphics drivers if you haven’t already. Sometimes Minecraft doesn’t play nice with certain hardware configurations if the drivers aren’t up-to-date.
