DirtyAliasing

DirtyAliasing 1.1.0

Now available for Minecraft 1.20.1 – 26.3 on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge (30 builds; 1.0.0 was 1.20.1 Forge only).

FXAA — rewritten

• Proper FXAA Quality: contrast threshold, edge-end search, subpixel smoothing.
• Only smooths geometry edges, found from the depth buffer. Block textures stay crisp: texture detail went from ~82% to 100% of the no-AA image.
• The hand and held items are smoothed separately.
• Low-contrast edges such as clouds against the sky are smoothed too.

TAA — rewritten

• Reprojection without jitter, so no shimmering, including the sky.
• Nearest-depth history, variance clipping, Catmull-Rom sampling, motion-aware blending.
• Separate sharpening pass on surfaces only, not on silhouettes.
• Much less blur: texture detail is ~100% (was 66%), and edge error is 13–20% of the no-AA image (was 24%).

Upscale — now FSR 1

• Uses our own implementation of AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution 1 (EASU + RCAS) instead of bicubic + CAS.
• The low-res frame gets FXAA before upscaling.
• Gives more FPS when you're GPU-bound (weak integrated graphics, 4K, shader packs).

New settings screen

• One simple settings screen on every version and loader, built from vanilla widgets.
• Press O in game to open it. You can rebind the key in Options → Controls → DirtyAliasing.
• A one-time chat hint tells you the key the first time you join a world.
• You can also open it from the mod list (Config button on Forge/NeoForge, Mod Menu on Fabric).
• Each mode has a tooltip explaining what it does.
• English and Russian translations.
• Cloth Config is no longer required.

Fixes

• The mod no longer breaks the game's OpenGL state after its passes.
• NeoForge 1.21.9+ / 26.x: effects silently didn't work.
• 1.21.9+ / 26.x: the game rejected the mod's pack.mcmeta.
• Forge 26.x and 1.20.5–1.20.6: crash on startup.
• Fabric 1.20.5–1.20.6: crash when leaving a world.
• Fabric 1.21.5+ without Fabric API: shaders weren't found.
• Fabric 1.21.2–1.21.4: GL state leak and missing hand in upscale mode.

Requirements

• Fabric API on Fabric 1.20.1 – 1.21.4 and 1.21.11.
• Nothing extra on Fabric 1.21.8 and 26.x, or on any Forge/NeoForge version.
• Mod Menu is optional.
• Java 17 (1.20.1–1.20.4), 21 (1.20.5–1.21.x), 25 (26.x).

Your settings from 1.0.0 are kept (config/dirtyaliasing.properties).
