¹ Not identical to OptiFine as people did not prefer the look. If you want it to be identical:

1. Disable MoreCulling

2. Install the original Cull Leaves

3. Enable Cull Leaves' bundled resource pack

4. Disable "Use Block Face Culling" in Options → Video Settings... → Performance.

² The defaults do not match OptiFine, because people preferred a smoother zoom. To make it identical to OptiFine:

1. Click Mods button, search for Zoomify, click it and on the top left hit the Configure icon.

2. Head over to Misc tab, set the preset to OptiFine

³ Sodium, which is the mod providing a more performant rendering engine also has a redesigned video settings screen. This is persisted in the modpack, as users consider it to be more organized and better-looking than the vanilla one. Additionally, it adds new and hides some vanilla options that reflect the changed engine more accordingly.

Users who prefer the old look can do one of the following:

• Enter the video settings and press Shift+P. This will persist until toggled again or exited the screen.

• Add Better Sodium Video Settings - shows vanilla video settings by default, with a button to show Sodium ones

• Add Enchanted's Sodium Options - redesigns Sodium video settings to match vanilla look more closely

• Add Xander's Sodium Options or its updated fork - redesigns Sodium video settings to have tabs on top and use vanilla UI elements throughout

Additionally, you can enjoy:

• Better mod compatibility

• Easy installation for various launchers

• Some extra features OptiFine does not provide
