Hi, I recently got a Surface Pro 4 and if you don't know anything about the SP4, it has an incredibly high PPI and screen resolution(2736x1824). The problem with such a high resolution is that games will lag if the resolution of the game isn't turned down a bit. Unfortunately, there isn't any such option in Minecraft to scale the graphics(and no, I'm not talking about GUI scale). A quick Google search of the issue has 95% results of people talking about GUI scaling(not my problem) and the other 5% of people saying that Optifine has this feature. I tried Optifine and when I go into full screen, Minecraft only takes up a quarter of the screen. Is there any method of scaling Minecraft without having to scale the screen manually?
I don't need to be using vanilla if there's a mod that solves this issue.
Bear in mind,
You can go into the compatibility tab on the shortcut and disable(or enable depending on what is set to) High DPI scaling, and that should fix the size for bigger resolutions

I've tried that, but no avail. It's surprising to me how that works for many other programs, but not Minecraft. Even the launcher doesn't scale. I'm assuming the issue there is caused by the executable being just a link to a Java application. Though, I've attempted changing the same property with javaw.exe and even that doesn't work.

If you want to do it on fullscreen, you can reduce the resolution of the entire system(Would save a bit of battery too), else just use it windowed

The solution there is for Java2D, not LWJGL.

IIRC Minecraft uses Java2D for text, so that would help it being too small, and thats not the only solution there
