How can I increase the screen resolution of Minecraft on a mac?

Question

When I maximize Minecraft on my mac it just changes the size of the window, not the actual game. How can I get a higher resolution?

(Example):

I believe that is 1280x800px.

Answer

You can't increase the resolution of the Minecraft world, but you can make sure the interface elements don't scale upward.

As of Minecraft Beta 1.5, you can set the scale of the UI by going into Options → Video settings... and clicking on GUI scale.

If you leave GUI scale set to auto, it'll continue to use the old GUI scaling: if your window exceeds 1280x720, Minecraft scales the interface elements up with the window.
