My cursor does not show up in minecraft when it is in fullscreen but it works fine when in windowed mode. Can anyone help with this?

There's a setting for that in the capture properties. You probably have the Display/Screen Capture set one way and the Window Capture set the other way.

@AaronD is still doesnt work, any other fixes?
Well, there's a brute-force method, otherwise it's just the checkbox in the display/window capture properties.

The brute-force method is to get a (good!) physical video capture device, and use that as your source. Either get one that has a passthrough, or get a 2-output splitter to go with it. (same architecture either way; the passthrough is simply an internal splitter) The physical output of your computer goes to the splitter's input or the capture's input, and the monitor connects to the splitter's other output or the capture's passthrough. Then you get EXACTLY what's on the screen, with no exceptions at all.

But make sure you get a GOOD video capture device! The $20 HDMI->USB things are just trash. No guarantee that they even work at all, and if they do, they're often not as advertised, or the advertisement is sneaky and deceptive. Don't bother with those.

If you have to use USB, spend about $100 on a single-channel name brand device. Or if you can spare an internal PCIe slot, those tend to be a little bit cheaper per channel.

If you end up with a multiple-input PCIe card, that can be really useful too, for future expansion if nothing else, but there's a pitfall with them too: The cheapest multi-input captures are designed for security systems that only need to see one at a time, so they only have one converter (the expensive part) and a quick-and-dirty switch to connect just one input at a time to that converter. Make sure you get one that has a dedicated converter for each input, so you can see all of them at once, which is not necessarily the cheapest.

I kinda like these myself, at least for their 4-input cards:
No passthrough on most of those, so you'll need a separate splitter, but that part *can* be cheap and work well, thanks to TV's and various set-top boxes (Cable TV, Blu-Ray, etc). Pretty much all they are is a decoder chip from a TV behind the input connector, that feeds an encoder chip from a set-top box behind each output connector.
