Options

Minecraft’s user environment can be configured through the Options setting. A few additional options can only be changed by editing the options.txt file manually.

Controls
From the main Options page, one can click down to Controls for configuring keyboard controls.

Language


Allows you to change the language that is viewed by your client.

Resource Packs
Allows you to change your Resource pack settings.

Snooper Settings
Snooper allows Mojang to collect information about your machine to help improve Minecraft by knowing what they can support and where the biggest problems are. All of this information is able to be viewed within the settings page. They promise they won't do anything bad with this data, but if you want to opt out then feel free to toggle it off!

Console Edition
There are settings for the music, sound, gamma, visibility on maps, vertical split screen, view bobbing, and sensitivity. The option to turn bedrock fog on or off was present until title update 31 - which removed bedrock fog entirely.

Render distance varies depending on device and the number of players on the same console. Note that the implementation of fog is different on console, giving the appearance of a higher render distance at the cost of pop in.

Host Privileges


Host Privileges enable players to change world options. It is equivalent to enabling Cheats on the Java Edition. Enabling host privileges makes the player unable to gain new achievements or trophies. Host privileges enable the host to change weather, gamemode, teleport, fly, and change gamerules (daylight cycle, keep inventory, mob spawning, mob griefing).
