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 here.
Resource packs
Fabulously Optimized enables relevant mod-provided resource packs and bundles some resource packs for better experience.
Mod Menu Helper (FO-exclusive) - explains what each mod does in a consistent and clear way on Mod Menu
Chat Reporting Helper - explains chat reporting in a clear way by simplifying vanilla and No Chat Reports tooltips and No Chat Reports icons
Translations for Sodium - adds unofficial translations for Sodium (video settings)
The resource packs use minimal resources, can be translated to your language and they will work with other resource packs.

Video settings
Most "quality & performance" video settings on the modpack are based on the vanilla preset "fast" for improved performance. User can change the preset by going to video settings, pressing Shift + P and adjusting the slider.

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:
polytone:particle_hitboxes
Enables hitboxes on particles when enabling Show hitboxes (F3+B)
Always
OFF
Unexpected; users got confused
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...).
"Received unknown passenger" - Entities with differing render distances as passengers outputs error
If you'd like to enable more bugfixes for your game, see the fixed bug list for Debugify.
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.
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 Debugify. The reason for disabling vanilla telemetry is that
it collects too much data even in minimal configuration (e.g. user's Xbox ID)
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:
Find the actual bug in Mojang's bug tracker
Request it or look at its status on Debugify's bug tracker
Once implemented (or confirmed to be) in Debugify, request an option change in FO
Describe the bug, mention the mod that fixes it and why it is important to 70-80% of users
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:
Click
ModsRead the descriptions of the mods to see what they do
If
🛠️or✏️is blue, you can configure the mod by clicking the config button
If you don't see the
🛠️or✏️emoji, you don't have the Mod Menu Helper resource pack enabled for some reason. ClickDone→Options...→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.
