Microsoft confirmed that their Minecraft game on Nintendo switch will run at 720p regardless of the console being docked or used in mobile mode. 1080p is not possible due to issues with resolution switching when the game is docked and undocked say Microsoft.
The Nintendo Switch has the power to run Minecraft at 1080p at 60fps on the console and it was down to Microsoft's implementation of the Switch version that has caused the lower resolution.
A possible update in the future could resolve the issues.
At $30, Minecraft for Switch features local and online multiplayer support as well as Mario-inspired skins.
