## Not required in 24w11a and above!<\/p>\n
**Note: This resource pack requires a full game restart to load correctly. A restart is also required after disabling the pack.**<\/p>\n
Improves the blur algorithm used in 24w09a’s new GUI.<\/p>\n
The vanilla blur algorithm uses an unweighted average of surrounding pixels, which produces a blocky appearance (especially look around the hotbar):<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This resource pack slightly modifies the algorithm to reduce the weight of further away pixels, which produces a much nicer blur effect:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This is the entire patch to the vanilla blur shader:<\/p>\n “`diff Given the `strength` and `totalStrength` variables are already in the vanilla shader but are unused, it seems possible that the blur algorithm was originally intended to be more similar to this resource pack. I release this under CC0 1.0 Universal, although it probably isn’t substantial enough to be eligible for copyright anyway.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Improved blur algorithm for 24w09a’s new GUI<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":27882,"template":"","meta":{"_minecraft_slug":"better-blur","_minecraft_project_id":"gQOt7U6i","_minecraft_author":"arthomnix","_minecraft_license":"CC0-1.0","_minecraft_downloads":699,"_minecraft_follows":13,"_minecraft_client_side":"required","_minecraft_server_side":"unsupported","_minecraft_storage_type":"zip","_minecraft_archive_name":"better-blur.zip","_minecraft_size_bytes":1312,"_minecraft_version_count":1,"_minecraft_updated_at":"2026-05-16T09:24:21.706194Z","_minecraft_date_created":"2024-03-01T08:40:13.227708Z","_minecraft_date_modified":"2024-02-28T20:06:32.968537Z","_minecraft_project_url":"https:\/\/modrinth.com\/mod\/better-blur","_minecraft_icon_attachment_id":27882,"_minecraft_imported_at":"2026-06-01T10:51:02+00:00","_minecraft_import_hash":"45aab88942d0aec2ac4de9dfe0cee183","_minecraft_versions":"","_minecraft_links":"","_minecraft_gallery":"","_minecraft_api_metadata":""},"mod_category":[870,6,7,8],"mod_loader":[9],"minecraft_version":[741],"class_list":["post-27881","mod","type-mod","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","mod_category-core-shaders","mod_category-minecraft","mod_category-tweaks","mod_category-vanilla-like","mod_loader-minecraft","minecraft_version-24w09a"],"yoast_head":"\nCode<\/summary>\n
