Many of you have already figured this out, but for those who haven't, or aren't sure where to look and what to do, here is a Tip of how to change some settings for your videocard to get rid of them.
Changing settings within the game won't affect them for the most part, the changes have to be made in your videocard's Control Panel.
To access this, right-click on your background and then select the control panel for your video card (there are multiple ways to open it however, this is just one).
Here is what most NVIDIA ("GeForce") and AMD/ATi ("Radeon") videocard owners will see. I have put arrows at the options we will be changing. Don't worry, steps on what to do follow the image:

NVIDIA owners can open their NVIDIA Control Panel.
From here, under the 3D Settings category on the left, select Manage 3D Settings. On the right, change Antialiasing Mode to Off. This will disable Anti-Aliasing for all games (another article on how to set AA for specific games in the future).
AMD owners can open their AMD Vision Engine Control Center.
From here, under the Gaming category on the left, select 3D Application Settings. On the right, simply put a checkmark in the Use Application Settings box in the Anti-Aliasing Area. This will let you set AA within games now (such as in the Options sections within games) but since Minecraft doesn't have the option for that, it effectively disables it for that game and allows other games to use it if desired.
Here is what those same video card control screens will look like after the changes:

Note:
If you are still having 'pink lines' or 'lines between blocks' at distance/angled viewing [they may be fine up close but start to have lines at a bit of a distance], then:
NVIDIA » Turn Off Anisotropic Filtering (no arrow but highlighted above, found on the same screen), too
AMD » set "Use Application Settings" for Anisotropic Filtering (no arrow shown above, green arrow indicates below, found on the same screen), too
With these changes, here is what Minecraft should look like now:
'Those Lines' should now be gone (for example, from around torches and water blocks). Yay! Click to see Full Size. |
Enjoy your line-free worlds of blocks and See You In The Games!

DeleteI will give a try
ReplyDeleteGood luck! If you want, come back and say if it didn't - I can give some ideas on things to try to get it to work :)
DeleteIt WORKS!!!
ReplyDeleteHaha glad to hear it still does! :D
DeleteSanta recently gave me an NVIDIA-based GPU for Xmas, so I plan on putting an NVIDIA screenshot up soon too, to show what it looks like, just for a little extra clarification for NVIDIA Videocard users.
Thanks for letting me know it worked, have fun!
thanks
ReplyDeleteYou are most welcome - glad to hear it is still working for others :)
DeletePeace to you
What's up i am kavin, its my first time to commenting anywhere, when i
ReplyDeleteread this piece of writing i thought i could also create comment due to this brilliant post.
Didn't work for me with Nvidia. Turned off AA and texture filtering. Tried different resolutions.
ReplyDeleteHmmm... Is this the Stand-Alone/Web Version or the Windows 10 Version?
DeleteI will take a look, as I have both now.
I don't think FXAA or MFAA (in the NVIDIA Control Panel) would affect it the same way, but you could also try Disabling those (if they are Enabled).
Hi, Thank you so much! I can with 100% confirm this still is the solution in 2019 and with Windows 10!
