DirtyAliasing

by fullfud

DirtyAliasing is a Forge mod for Minecraft 1.20.1 that adds FXAA, TAA and CAS image algorithms to the game's final render.

What it does

FXAA, the Fast Approximate Anti-Aliasing method, is a lightweight pass that softens jagged edges at a small performance cost. TAA, Temporal Anti-Aliasing, is a higher-quality option that blends data from previous frames to stabilize the picture, and it uses neighborhood clamping to reduce ghosting. Both smoothing modes are available in the mod's settings.

A third option, Dirty Upscale, is marked experimental and applies the AMD FidelityFX CAS algorithm as a sharpening filter. It changes the internal render resolution, so the image is scaled rather than only sharpened, and the author advises using it with caution. The mod is client-side only, so a server does not need it, and Cloth Config API is required next to it on Forge.

Key features

  1. FXAA smoothing

    A fast post-processing pass that smooths jagged edges with little added cost.

  2. TAA smoothing

    Temporal smoothing that reuses earlier frames to stabilize the image and limit ghosting.

  3. Dirty Upscale

    An experimental upscaling mode built on AMD FidelityFX CAS, which sharpens the image while changing the render resolution.

  4. Standalone upscaler

    Dirty Upscale works correctly on its own, without the other smoothing modes enabled.

Questions

Does DirtyAliasing need Cloth Config API?

Yes. Cloth Config API is a required dependency on Forge, so it must be installed alongside DirtyAliasing for the mod to load.

Does DirtyAliasing have to run on the server?

No. Players add it to their own game, and a server needs no copy.

Is Dirty Upscale safe to leave on?

The author marks Dirty Upscale as experimental and advises use with caution, since it changes the internal render resolution.
