Rescale Aspect Ratio Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I open the mod settings?
Press the Insert key while in-game to open the live hand editor and access scaling settings. You can also find Rescale options in your main mod menu if your mod loader provides one.
What aspect ratios does this mod support?
The mod supports stretched 4:3 and 5:4 aspect ratios, which stretch your game view to mimic older monitor formats while keeping your monitor's native resolution.
Why do other players look wider when I use this mod?
The stretched aspect ratio compresses the horizontal field of view, which makes all entities—including other players and mobs—appear wider on your screen, making them easier to spot.
How do I move my hand and items in first person view?
Open the hand editor with Insert, then hold Ctrl and use the Arrow Keys to reposition your items. Hold Shift while doing this to make adjustments move faster.
My items look cut off or misaligned after stretching—how do I fix this?
Use the built-in hand editor (Insert key) to adjust the position and size of your items until they fit properly in your stretched view. You can move items up, down, left, or right independently.
Does stretching the aspect ratio affect my actual game performance?
No, the mod only changes how your screen is displayed and does not impact rendering performance or FPS since it works at the resolution level without changing your monitor settings.
Will this mod work with other mods that change my HUD or first person view?
The mod should work alongside most mods, but conflicts can occur with mods that heavily modify hand rendering or HUD positioning—test in-game to confirm compatibility.
Can I switch between aspect ratios without restarting the game?
Yes, you can change between 4:3 and 5:4 aspect ratios in the scaling settings menu and the change applies immediately without needing to restart.
What happens to my hand position if I switch aspect ratios?
Hand positions may need readjustment when switching aspect ratios since the stretched view changes differently for each ratio. Use the hand editor to fine-tune positioning for each aspect ratio you use.
Does this mod work in multiplayer servers?
Yes, the mod is client-side only and does not affect other players or require server support—it only changes how your screen displays on your computer.
