ResolutionControl+
With ResolutionControl+, the game's render resolution can be changed separately from the HUD, and very large screenshots can be saved in the background.
What it does
The render scale is set independently of the HUD elements. A higher multiplier can serve as anti-aliasing on capable graphics cards, while a lower one reduces the load on the GPU or gives the image a retro look. A custom multiplier value can be entered with the S key. The mod is a fork of Resolution Control and adds functions on top of it. Fabric API is required.
The upscale and downscale filter that scales the render to the viewport can be switched between linear and nearest neighbor. Linear works as an anti-aliasing filter, while nearest neighbor usually looks sharper at resolutions below native. Screenshots can be taken at a set size, and that size is used when the option is enabled. Unlike Fabrishot, the game does not freeze until the file is written, so another screenshot can be taken while one is still processing. The mod runs on the client alone, and it is released under the MIT License as open source. It is published for 1.16.5 – 1.20.4 on Fabric, with 3.0.0 for 1.20.4 as the latest file.
Key features
Render scale
The render resolution changes independently of the HUD, using a multiplier that can be set from presets or entered by hand.
VRAM estimate
An estimate of the video memory a chosen resolution will need is shown on screen before a large render is started.
Scaling filter choice
The upscale and downscale algorithm can be set to linear or nearest neighbor, depending on the look wanted.
Sized screenshots
Screenshots can be taken at the specified resolution, with the option enabled in the settings.
Background processing
A large screenshot is written in the background, so the game stays responsive and more screenshots can be queued.

Use cases
Anti-aliasing with a strong GPU
Raising the multiplier above 1 renders at a higher resolution and then scales it down to smooth edges.
Low-end performance or retro look
Lowering the multiplier below 1 reduces the rendering load or produces a pixelated style.
Very large screenshots
A 16k screenshot took about 13 seconds of background processing after a short initial pause in the author's test on an i7 4770 and GTX 1060.
Who it’s for: Players who want to change render resolution without changing the HUD, or who need very large screenshots. Known limits: it does not work with Fabulous Graphics, and lower resolutions can break HUD item rendering in some setups. Screenshots with a strongly different aspect ratio can show artifacts.

What the author says
ResolutionControl+ is a fork of Resolution Control with additional functionality. 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…
