About this Mod

RenderScale

RenderScale allows you to change Minecraft's resolution without affecting the UI.

This is a fork of ResolutionControl++, with added support for NeoForge.

Comparison of FPS for each common render scale

Comparison of anti-aliasing for 1x and 2x render scales

Check out Fabrishot if you also want the large screenshot feature that was in ResolutionControl.

How

Press O or, use the mod menu config to control the render scale multiplier. You can increase for better antialiasing, or decrease for improved performance. This is heavily recommended for laptops with retina displays!

You can also force "linear" scale algorithm (similar to FXAA) in lower render scales if you want. It's best to leave it as OFF if you're using shaders since they usually have their own antialiasing.

There is experimental support for FSR 1.0 upscaling on 1.21.11 and above! No plans to support DLSS or FSR 2.0+.

There are plans for Dynamic Resolution!

Compatibility

Frequently Asked Questions

Does RenderScale need to be installed on the Minecraft server?

No. Modrinth marks RenderScale as unsupported on the server side. Install it only in your local Minecraft mods folder. Your server can remain unchanged unless the mod page lists an additional dependency.

Which version and loader does RenderScale require?

Use a file for fabric, forge, neoforge and your exact Minecraft version. Supported versions include 26.2, 26.1.2, 26.1.1. Files for different loaders are not interchangeable.

RenderScale is not working – what should I check?

First check the Minecraft version, loader version and required dependencies. Put the .jar file in your local .minecraft/mods folder and remove older duplicates. Because this mod is client-side, adding server RAM will not fix it.
