Super Resolution
With Super Resolution installed, the game can render at a lower internal resolution and upscale the image, using one of several built-in algorithms.
What it does
Super Resolution bundles several upscaling algorithms and lets a player pick one from the game settings. Each algorithm renders the scene at a reduced size and reconstructs a larger image, which can trade visual detail for frame rate or be used to raise image quality at a fixed resolution. The mod is client-side only, so only the player's installation needs it, and servers run without it.
The mod is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 16 release versions, 1.20.1 – 26.3. Latest files are alpha builds dated 2026-10-03. Its code is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, and public links exist for the source code, issue tracker and wiki. Snapshot builds are not part of the file list.

Use cases
Lower-end hardware
A player with a weaker graphics card can render at a reduced internal size and keep frame rates higher.
Sharper output at fixed resolution
A player on a high-resolution display can use an upscaler to reconstruct detail from a lower render size.
Who it’s for: Players with a client that supports OpenGL 4.3 who want to trade rendering resolution for performance or image quality.
