MaxGL
Forces Minecraft to use OpenGL 4.6 instead of the default 3.3 cap.
Why This Exists
Minecraft 26.1 caps OpenGL at 3.3 by default. ThreatenGL was the go-to fix for this — but it silently stopped working on 26.1 because Mojang moved the OpenGL hint calls from Window to GlBackend.setWindowHints() internally. This fork fixes that.
Use This If
- You need OpenGL 4.x features (compute shaders, persistent mapped buffers, etc.)
- ThreatenGL isn't working on 26.1
Requirements
- Minecraft: 26.1 only
- Loader: Fabric 0.18.4 and above
- Java: 21 and above
- Side: Client only
Notes
- Does absolutely nothing on dedicated servers
- Only tested on Minecraft 26.1 — do not expect it to work on older versions
- If 26.1 support is added to the original ThreatenGL, use that instead
