# Client Options

When a new Minecraft client is booted, its there's always a handful of settings I want to change (excluding [keybinds](https://wiki.tmdmguild.com/books/minecraft/page/client-keybinds) which get their own page).

### Video Settings

These settings will change drastically depending on the graphics optimization addons available in the pack. However, here are some common settings.

#### General

- **Render Distance** - 24 chunks
- **Simulation Distance** - 12 chunks
- **GUI Scale** - 4x
- **VSync** - On

#### Shader Pack

- **ComplementaryReimagined** - A good balance between looks and FPS

### Accessibility Settings

- **FOV Effects** - 10% - At really high movement speeds this can get out of hand.
- **Narrator Hotkey** - Off

### In-Game Toggles

Once loaded into a world, there are two toggles I usually flip via built-in keybinds.

- **Advanced Item Tooltips →** *F3 + H*
- **Pause on Lost Focus** → *F3 + P*
