Microsoft has officially dropped support for borderless window mode starting with Minecraft version 1.13. That leaves two options for enabling borderless window mode.
Option 1: Using JVM Arguments
To take this route, downgrade Minecraft to version 1.12.2 or earlier. After setting up an older installation of Minecraft, enable borderless window mode through the Minecraft Launcher.
1. Run the Minecraft launcher.
2. Switch to the Installations tab.
3. Highlight the downgraded installation in the list, click the ellipsis icon and select Edit from the menu.
4. In the Edit installation window click More Options.
5. Scroll down to the JVM Arguments field and append the following flag at the end:
-Dorg.lwjgl.opengl.Window.undecorated=true
6. Click Save and switch back to the Play tab.
7. Play the game in borderless window mode.

Option 2: Using Mods
The other option is to use a mod. To use mods, you will need the Minecraft Forge modding API. To install Minecraft Forge:
1. Visit the official Minecraft Forge website and download the latest installer of Minecraft Forge (1.65.5 – 36.1.0 at the time of writing).
2. Navigate to the folder where you downloaded the installer file and run it.
3. Once the installation finishes, run Forge from the Minecraft Launcher.
Next, install a mod for borderless window mode. We recommend Fullscreen Windowed (Borderless) Mod 1.16.5/1.15.2.
1. Download and save Fullscreen-Windowed-Mod-1.16.5.jar from //www.mc-mod.net/fullscreen-windowed-borderless-mod/.
2. Run the Minecraft Launcher.
3. Select Forge in the Play tab from the drop-down menu and press Play to launch the game.
4. Click Mods in the main menu.
5. Click Open mods folder. This minimizes the game and opens the mods folder.
6. Paste Fullscreen-Windowed-Mod-1.16.5.jar.
7. Click Done and restart Minecraft.
8. Go to Mods again, and you will see the Borderless Window mod in the list.
9. Play the game in borderless window mode.
Conclusion
Running Minecraft in borderless window mode can make for a more enjoyable gameplay experience. While the game no longer officially supports borderless window mode, you can still enable it in just a few steps.
