Description

Better Resolution

Better Resolution improves GPU performance by rendering Minecraft’s 3D world at a configurable internal resolution, then back to native resolution using smart and lightweight algorithms.

I had a personal gripe with how pixelated, aliased and blurry the game becomes when using other scaling mods.

Performance Benefits

Better Resolution provides a large GPU performance boost, especially on systems limited by graphics performance.

The benefit can be even more significant with shaders, where lowering the world render resolution can greatly reduce the cost of shader rendering.

For lower-end GPUs, this can make higher settings or shaders much more practical.

What Does The Mod Do?

The world is rendered at the selected internal resolution and reconstructed to your display resolution. This keeps the interface sharp while allowing the 3D scene to scale for better performance.

Resolution Scaling

You can use built-in presets or manually adjust the internal world resolution with a slider.

Lower scales improve performance more. Higher scales increase the quality of the render.

Upscaling Methods

Better Resolution includes two upscaling methods.

Smooth

The default option.

Smooth uses lightweight edge-aware reconstruction to reduce harsh aliasing, pixelation and improve line stability.

This helps the image feel closer to how it should look while keeping the upscale fast.

Sharp

A lightweight sharp reconstruction option.

Sharp keeps the image crisp with smart sharpening. This option is useful if you prefer a sharper look. Provides the highest performance without any blurring.

Configuration

Available in Sodium’s Video Settings.

You can enable or disable the mod, choose the upscaling method, select a resolution preset, or enable the manual resolution scale slider.

The manual slider is disabled when presets are enabled.

Mod Compatibility

Better Resolution is a client-side Fabric mod.

It is designed to work with Sodium and popular performance mods. If you find an incompatibility, please report it and I will check it out.

Updates & Future Plans

I will be updating this mod to every stable Minecraft release.

Further image quality improvements and performance optimizations, new features will be added over time.

The mod will be ported back to some earlier versions of Minecraft. Head over to Discord if the mod isn't available in a version you are playing in.
