# Overview<\/p>\n
Have you ever noticed how noisy Minecraft looks in the distance when using a high-resolution resource pack?The reason is that by default, Minecraft only supports full mipmaps for 16×16 textures and below. <\/p>\n
Anything higher than that will have incomplete mipmaps.
\nThis mod fixes this by increasing the maximum level of mipmaps to 10 (1024×1024).<\/p>\n
The optimal mipmap level depends on the resolution of your resource pack and can be found in the table below:
\n| Texture Resolution | Optimal Mipmap Level |
\n|——————–|———————-|
\n| 1 | 0 |
\n| 2 | 1 |
\n| 4 | 2 |
\n| 8 | 3 |
\n| 16 | 4 |
\n| 32 | 5 |
\n| 64 | 6 |
\n| 128 | 7 |
\n| 256 | 8 |
\n| 512 | 9 |<\/p>\n
# Technical Details<\/p>\n
The problem with generating a full mipmap pyramids for Minecraft textures is that Minecraft combines all block textures into one big texture atlas. The maximum mipmap level of this atlas is a smallest maximum mipmap level of any individual texture.
\nSo even when using a 99% complete resource pack, a single left-over 16×16 texture will limit the atlas to 4 mipmap levels. To work around this, this mod will automatically attempt to upscale smaller textures before the stitching process.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
