[MC-5178] Lines between all blocks (pink, white, and black) / Custom graphics driver settings

I know this problem has been presented many times before, but I don't understand how my graphic-settings (reading from https://mojang.atlassian.net/browse/MC-2514) can be blamed if I want anti-aliasing in my game and it suddenly shows pink lines whatever I do, while this doesn't happen to any other game I know.

I'm currently using a Sapphire Radeon HD 6870 with the latest drivers available. Some Nvidia users fixed this issue somehow, but most Radeon owners are not able to fix this in any way.

Example, taken from an issue that presented the same problem, is shown below.

I think a fix would be to allow in-game anti-aliasing, or just to fix the origin of this problem.

Gathering information from here and there, I heard the Watershader mod seemed to fix this in the past: http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/727846-anti-aliasing-in-mc/ (last post)

Here more people with the same issue from a more recent thread http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/964617-looks-horrible-pink-lines-between-blocks/

It still persists nowadays, I think it should be fixed within Minecraft itself, the only way to fix it atm is to either use mods or turn anti-aliasing off :\

Can confirm on a Radeon 6700 with latest (12.10) drivers.

Zuriki 2012-12-23T17:49:54Z

Isn't this an issue pertaining to anisotropic filtering rather than anti-aliasing? Either way, the anti-aliasing is forced on by the graphics drivers and the same effect occurs in nVidia. Since you're essentially using a third-party tool to modify the game engine to do something it's not intended to do, I advise against calling this a bug any more than a crash caused by using Tekkit would be called a legitimate bug.

Just my two cents.

Tenebrae 2012-12-23T19:02:24Z

@Zuriki Lee: I get your point, but this is something that goes further than Minecraft only. If anti-aliasing goes well on every game out there except one, that single game is the exception, and should provide a solution/fix for it.

Furthermore, both Anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering cause graphical glitches in Minecraft, and I can confirm anti-aliasing causes problems as well.

I get black lines with a Radeon 6520G even with all possible settings set to "Use application settings". Somewhat annoying and very noticeable on a superflat world.

Tenebrae 2012-12-31T22:15:14Z

Yeah, it would be nice if there would be some more support for various cards..

I updated to LWJGL 2.8.4 and everything is fixed.

Tenebrae 2013-01-01T17:47:24Z

I'll try, hope it'll work

Zuriki 2013-01-02T15:29:48Z

@Shaad Alaka: Minecraft is not the only game that has problems though, I can think of two other cases when driver-forced anti-aliasing has caused problems with rendering. Firstly Mass Effect and secondly The Witcher.

The fact remains that you are using a third-party tool to force the game to do something that it doesn't inherently do. It also accomplishes it's goal in a brute-force way.

If you absolutely can not live without anti-aliasing for some reason, there are mods which allow you to do this in a less brute-force way: Optifine has an Anti-Aliasing option and Sonic's Unbelievable Shader's mod has an FXAA shader iirc.

You might find the glitch to be fixed with 1.5 anyway as a result of the texture system being altered.

Tenebrae 2013-01-02T15:48:18Z

@Zuriki Lee: That last sentence made me happy 🙂

Indeed, I use OptiFine atm for anti-aliasing and anisotropic-filtering, but I can still see little white dots on the edges of a netherbrick block in my inventory for example, but I'm glad that there will be a new texture-system.

Brad McFarland 2013-01-22T21:38:58Z

i have this issue too
and i have a NVIDIA graphics card

Anon Ymus 2013-01-22T21:41:36Z

Can anyone confirm this bug with LWJGL 2.8.4 or later?

Tenebrae 2013-01-22T22:04:02Z

Yes I can

Anon Ymus 2013-02-03T02:24:34Z

Also seen with white and black lines.

Jesper the End 2013-02-03T09:51:17Z

looks a lot like MC-1794 but here it is worse, on MC-1794 they aren't really lines but more dots flickering so fast that they look like lines.

Tenebrae 2013-02-03T17:03:29Z

Remember that this issue is from before the texture change, 1.4.7 and anything before.

Stian Langerud 2013-02-03T21:03:55Z

i have Radeon HD 6450 and i fixed my problems by checking "use application settings" boxes on anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering.

Jackson Hines 2013-02-15T20:58:48Z

I have had exactly the same problem. Only text is also affected, ie. text has outlines aswell as blocks, and some items. So far I haven't found a direct 'fix', but it may be because I changed my NVIDIA graphics driver '3d settings'.

kumasasa 2013-03-04T18:36:23Z

Resolved as duplicate of MC-1794

Anon Ymus 2013-03-25T21:50:56Z

It's a different issue.

Daniel "Glampkoo" 2013-03-26T19:39:09Z

No it isn't

kumasasa 2013-03-26T19:39:55Z

Finally resolving this ticket as invalid, since not a Minecraft issue

Zitchas 2013-07-24T23:20:43Z

How are so many different error types all duplicates of this same bug? For instance, all the different bugs regarding hit boxes being visible? That doesn't sound like a rendering thing. Although I'm not a programmer, so I could easily be wrong.

Are there any solutions for those using Radeon hardware? For that matter, the fact that this bug showed up (for me, anyway) upon upgrading to 1.6 and was not present in earlier versions sounds more like a minecraft issue than a graphics driver one.

Tails 2013-07-24T23:26:02Z

Adjust the settings as shown here.

Jackson Hines 2013-07-24T23:43:57Z

I have fixed the problem for myself. I just had to change my NVIDIA 3d rendering settings to 'Balanced' instead of 'Performance Optimized'. I don't know if this works for other graphics drivers, but I know it was successful with NVIDIA.

Jesper the End 2013-07-25T08:10:24Z

I just realized I don't have this problem anymore. I got this problem when the new textures were introduced. But now everything works fin, I don't know why. I have radeon too

Ian Taylor 2013-10-19T22:40:55Z

I have found that adjusting the anisotropic filtering seems to fix this problem.

Andre 2020-09-29T01:43:36Z

The solution for me was: in Adrenalin 2020 Edition control panel just disable morfological anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering in anti-aliasing section use the application setting then restart Minecraft.
