Improve Performance While Using Anti-Aliasing

Why FXAA is Performance-Friendly

FXAA is designed to be computationally efficient compared to other anti-aliasing methods. It performs edge detection and smoothing as a final screen-space pass, requiring minimal GPU overhead.

Optimizing Your Setup

1. Prioritize FXAA over TAA if performance is critical — FXAA has a smaller performance impact. You can enable FXAA alone and disable TAA if your frame rate drops noticeably.

2. Reduce render distance if needed — Anti-aliasing doesn't slow your computer much, but rendering distant chunks does. Lower your render distance to 8-12 chunks if you're experiencing lag.

3. Disable other resource-heavy features — Ensure no other shader effects are enabled. Lighting, shadows, and reflections consume far more performance than anti-aliasing.

4. Monitor your frame rate — Use your FPS counter (F3 in vanilla Minecraft) to track performance. Anti-aliasing should have minimal impact; if frames drop significantly, another shader feature may be active.

Result

You can enjoy smooth, clean edges without sacrificing frame rate. Anti-aliasing TAA FXAA Shaders is designed to be lightweight, so performance loss should be negligible on most systems.
