Minecraft Java Edition – How to Set Default Window Size for Minecraft

minecraft-java-editionwindows 10

I'm annoyed that every time I launch Minecraft, it's a tiny window (854×480 pixels + window borders) that I have to resize. I don't want to run the game in fullscreen, or maximized, but I do want the window larger than that.

And since it's difficult to scale the window precisely, my screenshots end up all different sizes.

I don't see anything in the Options GUI.

It's easier than in the self-answer. In the launcher, you can click on "Installations", then on the profile you want (default is "Latest release") and then set a resolution in there.
