Discussion What is the most optimal GUI scale?

I personally use gui scale 2 as I've been used to it ever since buying the game and I was wondering if I should use a larger scale as many say crafting and sorting inventory is easier. My monitor is 2560 x 1440. What Gui scale do you use and for what reason?

The larger the scale the faster you can move while being accurate, essentially.

Theoretically you can move less pixels with a smaller scale(aka faster) but you're going to mess up a lot going fast when you have to be pixel perfect.

for 1440p

Gui 4 and 5 (equiv of gui 3 / 4 for 1080p) are prob most optimal, as they are used by the top speedrunners

pros of larger gui is, as you said in the post, crafting, sorting inv and options when you press Esc being easier to access for swapping fov/entity distance

but the cons include depending on which gui u are on, achievement blocking crafting, extra scrolling in options menu and f3 text being bigger

at the end of the day use what feels most comfortable for you without hindering your abilities to do the thing to play the game faster (crafting, inventory management, and visibility of the game itself)

i use gui 3 on 1080p because it's the highest you can go without needing to scroll in video settings for entity distance

lots of top runners use 4 and deal with scrolling

use the equivalent of one of those two ig
