TipTheScales Mod FAQ

Go to Options, then Video Settings, and look for the GUI Scale entry. With the mod installed, it appears as a draggable slider instead of a fixed button, so you can click and drag it to any position.

The slider only moves within the range your game window and resolution allow, so a very small window limits how far you can drag it. Try resizing or maximizing the game window, then adjust the slider again.

Drag the slider to the position you want instead of clicking preset buttons. The slider lets you land between the standard scale steps for a finer adjustment.

No, the mod does not support Optifine, and combining them can cause the slider to misbehave or the game to crash. Remove one of them if you run into problems.

No, Sodium is not supported alongside this mod. If you use Sodium for performance, you will need to choose between the two rather than running both.

It is client-side only, so you can use it on any server without the server installing anything. Only your own game needs the mod for the slider to appear.

You likely dragged the slider toward the smaller end, which shrinks interface elements like buttons and text. Drag it back toward the larger end until the interface is comfortable to read.

A very large scale can push parts of the interface off-screen on low resolutions. Lower the slider until all menus and buttons fit within the window.

On newer versions the vanilla game already exposes more scale steps, so the mod's main job there is the slider itself. The extra unlocked scale options matter most on older versions where the choices were limited.

The scale setting itself is a display preference and does not meaningfully change performance. Any slowdown you notice is more likely from other mods or your render settings than from the slider.

Another mod is likely overriding the vanilla options screen, or TipTheScales isn't loading on the client. Check that the mod is in your mods folder and that no other options-screen mod is conflicting.

No, TipTheScales does not support Optifine. If both are installed, the slider may not appear or the game may crash, so remove one of them.

No, TipTheScales does not support Sodium. Sodium replaces the video settings screen, so the slider won't show up correctly alongside it.

On older versions, TipTheScales unlocks additional scale steps beyond the default set. Just drag the slider in Video Settings to reach those extra values.

This usually means a conflicting mod is handling the options screen instead of TipTheScales. Remove Optifine or Sodium, or any other mod that edits the video settings menu, and try again.

It depends on your screen resolution and how much UI you want visible. Lower values show more of the world with smaller text, while higher values make the interface larger and easier to read.

No, it only changes the GUI scale value and the options screen widget. It does not add rendering work, so it shouldn't impact your framerate.

Your options file may not be saving, often because the game crashed on exit or the file is read-only. Make sure the game closes normally so the chosen scale is written to options.txt.
