Changed options

Fabulously Optimized changes some default options of Minecraft and the included mods to improve your gameplay.

Because the pack is using Config Manager, the options will only change if you do not have options.txt or mod-specific files in config folder already, e.g. by using a clean profile. That also means you can freely update the pack without losing your settings!

Changed mod settings can be found herearrow-up-right.

Resource packs

Fabulously Optimized enables relevant mod-provided resource packs and bundles some resource packs for better experience.

The resource packs use minimal resources, can be translated to your language and they will work with other resource packs.

Debug screen

Vanilla F3 debug screen can display various pieces of information and is configured with F3+F6. As it is a debugging feature and the old look cannot be directly replicated anyway, FO has chosen to keep it as default for now, except for the following:

Fixed bugs

Fabulously Optimized includes some mods that fix vanilla bugs. Similar to the mod inclusion policy, they must be meaningful to 70%+ users to get enabled (e.g. FPS drops, crashes, platform-specific annoyances...).

Mojang bug
Description
Fixed by

Mouse buttons block all inventory controls that are not default

Cannot break blocks while sprinting (Ctrl+Click = right click on macOS)

Redstone dust updates cause lag (Singleplayer only)

Pistons forget update when being reloaded

"Received unknown passenger" - Entities with differing render distances as passengers outputs error

Linux/GNU: Opening chat sometimes writes 't'

Ticking animated textures is very inefficient

Hunger and experience bar invisible on horses and all other animal mounts

Guardian beam does not render when over a certain "Time" in level.dat

Increased input delay when riding an entity

Smooth lighting doesn't work properly on the water surface

Entity collision is run on render thread

Horizontal camera rotation lags when riding

Telemetry

Telemetry Data Collection, previously known as Snooper, refers to Minecraft's and potentially mods', launchers' methods of collecting analytics about the user, usually in a limited form to preserve privacy. Minecraft's telemetry options are detailed here.arrow-up-right

While telemetry is not always bad, as it may help developers better support their content for users' devices (e.g. to see where performance can be improved) it can be unwanted and unexpected for privacy concerns.

As of 1.20.2, Minecraft does not have an option to fully disable telemetry, so in this modpack such option is added by Debugifyarrow-up-right. The reason for disabling vanilla telemetry is that

  1. it collects too much data even in minimal configuration (e.g. user's Xbox ID)

  2. it skews Mojang's data due to being modded - Mojang may see that users using the modpack have good performance, but it does not actually reflect the original game

The modpack's stance is to disable all forms of telemetry by default, letting users to choose to opt-in to it manually when wanted. The modpack cannot disable any telemetry collected by game launcher or operating system.

Requesting a bugfix

Want to get a bug fixed in Fabulously Optimized? Here's what you'll need to do:

  1. Request it or look at its status on Debugify's bug trackerarrow-up-right

  2. Once implemented (or confirmed to be) in Debugify, request an option change in FOarrow-up-right

  3. Describe the bug, mention the mod that fixes it and why it is important to 70-80% of users

  4. If accepted, expect the fix to be enabled in the next version of FO :)

Configuring mods

The modpack is already configured for the best performance and simplest experience for most users.

If you want to configure something, you'll most likely find it on Options...Video Settings.... If you have a powerful computer or monitor, you may want to disable Vsync there.

For other things like dynamic lights, shaders and zoom:

  1. Click Mods

  2. Read the descriptions of the mods to see what they do

  3. If 🛠️ or ✏️ is blue, you can configure the mod by clicking the config button config

    • If you don't see the 🛠️ or ✏️ emoji, you don't have the Mod Menu Helper resource pack enabled for some reason. Click DoneOptions...Resource Packs... on "Mod Menu Helper.zip" → Done → go to point 1 of this tutorial

If you need to disable a mod, see this wiki page.

If you have more questions about the mods, chat with us on Discord!arrow-up-right
