Options

FO uses Your Options Shall Be Respected to manage settings and to allow updates without losing your settings, but you will not get FO's latest recommendations. You can find FO's settings file on GitHub.

If you want to start fresh, you can always reset to FO's recommended settings. You can also check out other options you may want to change.

Click on each option to get a description of what it does.

Option	Vanilla	FO	Reason
advancedItemTooltips	false	true	Advanced tooltips are useful for more than just debugging: for using commands, getting the durability value, knowing the name in English... Plus, this setting is hidden in the debug menu, so many people might not know about it
darkMojangStudiosBackground	false	true	Black background is less intrusive than red, parity with Bedrock Edition
enableVsync	true	false	Disabling VSync reduces input lag, increases frame rate with shaders, and emphasizes the benefits of FO. The benefits of VSync vary by system; some systems also support Adaptive VSync
guiScale	0	3	The automatic setting can get too large on Full HD or larger screens, including Apple Retina displays
incompatibleResourcePacks	[]	(varies)	Mod-provided resource packs known to be compatible despite the old manifest version.
joinedFirstServer	false	true	Users of FO are expected to already know about Social Interactions; the screen is easily accessible through the Player Reporting button or by pressing P
maxFps	120	260	260 means "unlimited", which allows you to get the full frame rate your system supports
operatorItemsTab	false	true	It already only appears if you have the permission for it, it's weird Mojang even made it an option
resourcePacks	[]	···	Enabled some mod-provided and FO-exclusive resource packs by default. See Resource Packs
lang	en_us	(your OS' language)	Enables user's system language by default, courtesy of Language Reload
simulationDistance	12	6	Better performance regardless of the rendering distance you use
skipMultiplayerWarning	false	true	Users of FO are expected to already know that third-party servers are not managed by Mojang Studios or Microsoft.
telemetryOptInExtra	false	false	Even though "minimal" is the default, FO enforces it further. See Telemetry
tutorialStep	movement	none	Users of FO are expected to not need those tutorials anymore
