# OptiFine
In accordance to the [Familiarity principle](https://its-miroma.gitbook.io/fo/about/..#familiarity), one of FO's objectives is achieving parity with [OptiFine](https://optifine.net/), to ease the transition away from it.
However, FO has more to offer than just OptiFine features! You can enjoy:
* Faster updates to newer Minecraft versions. Read more about [FO's versioning](https://its-miroma.gitbook.io/fo/about/versioning)
* Better compatibility with other mods. See the [instructions for adding mods](https://its-miroma.gitbook.io/fo/how-to/add-mods)
* Easier installation on more launchers. See the [installation instructions](https://its-miroma.gitbook.io/fo/how-to/install)
* Extra features OptiFine does not provide. See the [list of functional mods in FO](https://its-miroma.gitbook.io/fo/info/mods#functional)
This is a list of OptiFine features, and their status in FO. You can also check out the [parity-related issue list](https://github.com/Fabulously-Optimized/fabulously-optimized/issues?q=is:issue%20is:open%20label:parity).
{% hint style="info" %}
The [mods included in FO](https://its-miroma.gitbook.io/fo/info/mods) are inspired by but not limited to the [*Recommended OptiFine alternatives on Fabric* by LambdAurora](https://optifine.alternatives.lambdaurora.dev/).
