Rescale (Aspect Ratio)
by TCD1234
Rescale forces a chosen aspect ratio such as 4:3 or 5:4 on any monitor, so player models appear wider on screen, and it includes a built-in View Model editor.
What it does
The mod lets a player set a specific aspect ratio, including 4:3, 5:4 or a custom value, regardless of the native resolution of the monitor. A True Stretch option gives the stretched look of those ratios while the game keeps running at the monitor's own resolution. Player models render wider as a result, and the change applies only to the player's own display.
Rescale also includes a live editor for the first-person hands and held items. Pressing Insert in game opens it, arrow keys with Ctrl move and resize the view model, and holding Shift makes each adjustment faster. Settings are reached from the Mods menu under Rescale, and the config screen requires Cloth Config API, while Mod Menu is optional for opening it from the mod list.
The mod runs on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt. Its files cover 1.20.1 – 26.3 across 18 release versions, and the latest builds are 1.1.0 for 26.3 on Fabric, 1.0.1 for 1.20.1 on Forge, 1.1.0 for 26.1.2 on NeoForge in the beta channel, and 1.0.2 for 1.21.4 on Quilt. It is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and is open source, with public source code and an issue tracker.

Use cases
Stretched look on widescreen monitors
A player who prefers the classic 4:3 or 5:4 picture can keep a widescreen monitor at its native resolution.
Adjusting the first-person hands
Players who want their hands or held items placed differently can change their position and size in the live editor.
Who it’s for: Players who want a stretched or custom aspect ratio on their own display, and players who want to reposition the first-person hands and held items. It is a client-side mod, so only the player's own game needs it.
How it compares
Visual Ratio is client-side only, open source under the MIT License, and built for Fabric only with files for 1.21.8 – 26.2. View Model is also client-side only and open source under the MIT License, for Fabric with files for 1.20 – 26.2. Ence size is client-side only under the MIT License, not open source, and has a Fabric file for 1.21.11 only, so it covers a single version where Rescale covers 1.20.1 – 26.3 on four loaders.
