HiResShot
by DHJComical
HiResShot captures Minecraft screenshots at resolutions above the display size, from 4K and 8K up to 16K and beyond.
What it does
The mod enables screenshots with resolutions larger than the current screen, which avoids simple pixel stretching. It works by resizing the internal framebuffer so the game renders natively at the chosen size. Custom width and height can be set for formats such as 21:9 ultrawide, portrait or mobile wallpapers, and the mod supports captures up to 64 times the screen resolution, limited by GPU video memory.
Three capture modes adapt to different hardware conditions. A CPU upscale mode builds very large images, 16K and higher, through algorithmic synthesis when the GPU lacks the memory for them. A real-time mode is tuned for shader packs that produce black screens or underexposed frames. Auto cleanup hides the GUI, crosshair and player model so they do not appear or cast self-shadow during the capture, and the game waits a configurable number of frames for the shader pipeline to settle before saving. Captures can briefly cause lag while they run.

Custom resolution
Width and height can be set directly, for ultrawide, portrait or mobile wallpaper proportions.
Shader-aware real-time mode
A capture mode tuned for shader packs, with frame waiting so black screens and underexposure are avoided.
