[Suggestion] Render Scale #6257

Description of the new feature

In a lot of game engines, there's a setting called "Render Scale" that, when set to lower than 100%, renders the game at lower than native resolution and scales it up to native. It avoids the glitchiness of running fullscreen apps in less than native resolution on Windows and also runs much faster, especially on MacBooks that have retina displays (absurd pixel density, thus massive resolution) or on slower computers. (Integrated graphics/computers with terrible cooling for example) It also avoids the UI being unreadable because it only affects the 3D portion of the game and not the 2D overlays. There are mods that do this already, but they either are no longer being supported or don't have support for older versions. (1.8.9 for example)

IMO the problem here is not that these mods are not available for 1.8 (which should have died a long time ago), but that they are not for Forge.
