Top 4 Best Minecraft Game Recorders For Windows
1. Bandicam
Bandicam has been known as one of the most powerful game recorders in the world now. It is the most powerful of all the software we tested for recording Minecraft on Windows. It is also the most lightweight screen recorder we found. Whether you want to record a certain area of your PC scree or capture a game that use DirectX/ OpenGL/ Vulkan graphic technologies. The only downside of Bandicam is its watermark on top of your recording in free version. Added to that, Bandicam don’t have a built-in video editor for you to cut or trim your video after it is recorded. Read our full review about Bandicam here!
2. Mirillis Action Screen Recorder
Like Bandicam, Mirillis Action Screen Recorder is powerful enough for recording Minecraft game in any resolution. The quality of the results is great. Sadly, this program also leaves a watermark on your recording. To remove it, you’ll need to purchase a license at $29.95. However, Action! allows streaming and real-time recording of Windows desktop in a superb HD video quality. With Action! you can record and stream your gameplay, web player videos, record music, capture screenshots, add webcams, microphone commentary… and more!
