Rendering experiments

Salt’s Anti-Aliasing

Exploring anti-aliasing options in Minecraft, and the boundary between the rendered world and its interface.

Project purpose

This project adds selectable anti-aliasing techniques to Minecraft and integrates them with the rendering pipeline.

Implementation

A portable configuration and planning core works alongside version-specific rendering adapters. Scene processing happens before the HUD, so the world and interface can be treated deliberately. Related experiments use Python image and edge analysis.

Development status

Rendering behavior and compatibility depend on the game version and renderer. The landscape image is a development capture, not a measured before-and-after comparison.
