Features

  • Compatibility: TAA Project is fully compatible with both OptiFine and Iris.
  • Temporal Anti-Aliasing (TAA): The core feature of this shader pack is its implementation of TAA, which effectively reduces visual artifacts such as jagged edges and shimmering. By using previous frames' data, TAA smooths out edges and enhances the overall visual fidelity of the game.
  • Sharpening Options: To further enhance image clarity, the TAA Project supports two types of sharpening techniques:
  • Unsharp Mask: Leaves trails behind fast moving objects.
  • CAS (Contrast Adaptive Sharpening): More stable, but still has some downsides to it.

The TAA Project is a hard fork of VanillAA made for better performance and faster updates.

How to install TAA Project

  1. Install Iris (with Sodium) or OptiFine for your Minecraft version: shaders need one of them.

  2. Download the .zip file from Modrinth. Do not unzip it.

  3. In Minecraft, open Options, then Video Settings, then Shader Packs, and click Open Shader Pack Folder.

  4. Drop the .zip file into that folder, pick TAA Project in the list and click Done.

  5. Shaders are heavy on the graphics card. If the game gets slow, pick a lower profile in the shader settings.
