ResolutionControl++

Note: If you want to use Minecraft 1.21.5+, please use Note:. I don't have the time to fix every breaking change Mojang is currently making whilst working towards Vibrant Visuals.

ResolutionControl++

ResolutionControl++ is a fork of ResolutionControl+ just a bit more up to date.

Features

Resolution Scaling

ResolutionControl++ allows you to change Minecraft's render resolution separately from the HUD elements. If you have a good GPU, you can increase the multiplier for anti-aliasing. Otherwise, you can lower the multiplier to improve performance or give Minecraft a retro style. You can also set a custom multiplier value by pressing the `S` button.

Additionally, you can set the upscale/downscale algorithm used to scale the render to the viewport. Linear is useful as an anti-aliasing filter, and nearest neighbor generally looks better for lower than native resolutions.

Screenshots

ResolutionControl++ can be used to take larger than native resolution screenshots. To do this, use the `Screenshot Framebuffer` keybind which is unbound by default.

Compared to *Fabrishot*, this implementation does not lock up the game until the screenshot is saved. This makes taking large screenshots much faster. And while a screenshot is being processed, you can take another one without any problems.

Here is the time it takes to take a 16k screenshot, on an i7 4770 and GTX 1060:

``` Fabrishot: 12 seconds (pause) ResolutionControl++: <1 second (initial pause) + 13 seconds (background processing) ```

Settings

Resolution Scaling

- Render scale - 0.0 - 8.0x (can be exceeded by manually setting the value) - An estimate VRAM usage is displayed - Upscale/downscale algorithm - Linear, nearest

Screenshots

- Use set size - Enabled: render screenshots at the specified resolution - Note: can produce artifacts if the screenshot aspect ratio is significantly different from the aspect ratio of the viewport - Disabled: render at the scaled render resolution - Always allocated - Enabled: screenshot framebuffer is always allocated in memory - May reduce screenshot pause times, at the cost of more VRAM usage during normal gameplay - Disabled: screenshot framebuffer is allocated on-demand and freed immediately after - Screenshot size - Screenshot size if `use set size` is enabled - An estimate VRAM usage is displayed

Compatibility

Currently, ResolutionControl++ does not work with Fabulous Graphics.

Sodium - Compatible

Canvas Renderer - Mostly compatible, lower resolutions break HUD item rendering

Optifine - Compatible, stacks with its own render scale implementation
