Add option to disable anti-aliasing in Java Edition

I just noticed (as of, at latest, 1.21.11 Pre-Release 1, perhaps earlier) that anti-aliasing was added to block textures. However, it only applies to the surfaces of individual blocks; the edges of blocks and transparent textures, the seams between adjacent blocks, entities, particles, and the clouds and sky, are not affected by AA and retain their "jaggies". IMO this inconsistency looks bad (and misses the point a little because it fails to account for the most noticeable jaggies on the silhouettes of objects) and i personally would like to turn it off (i am fond of my ugly little jaggies :P). However, despite all the new video settings, i noticed there wasn't one for anti-aliasing, and i see no reason for one not to be included!

    This has been bothering me ever since it got added. I suspect it may have something to do with the antistrophic filtering since the snapshot it was added in was also created this bug. I've made a bug report but was told it "Works as intended." I'd say either make everything anti-aliased or none of it (I personally also like the jagged lines).

    I agree wholeheartedly. I loved how sharp the game used to look, now it feels blurry. What's worse is that blocks and items held in your hand or dropped on the ground do not use anti-aliasing, which is inconsistent and feels unfinished. An option to disable anti-aliasing would be perfect.
