Full Feature List:

Lighting

• PBR
   Enables Physically Based Rendering
   Make sure you enable Normal and Specular mapsm in the OptiFine shader options
• PBR Format - LabPBR 1.3, SeusPBR / OldPBR
• Physically Based Rendering
  • Height as AO
     Uses the Height information for Ambient occlusion
  • Normal Mapping Fix
     With newer OptiFine versions this might not be necessary
     Enable this if normal maps do not show on entities or handheld objects
  • Use Hardcoded Metals
     If disabled, the shader will use the color for the reflectance data
     LabPBR only
  • Subsurface Scattering
  • Parallax Occlusion Mapping
     Adds additional detail to blocks using the height map
     Low performance impact
     Can create artifacts at screen borders
  • POM Options
    • POM Depth
       Specifies how deep the POM goes
       Higher values will create artifacts
    • POM Distortion
       Exaggerates the height map
       Helps create more depth with small POM Depth values
       Creates artifacts when used with high POM Depth values
    • Smooth POM
       Smooths out the height map
       Significantly reduces artifacts
• Skylight AO
   Specifies the amount of ambient occlusion on skylight
• Blocklight AO
   Specifies the amount of ambient occlusion on blocklight
• Skylight Gamma
   Higher = Darker
   Lower = Brighter
• Blocklight Gamma
   Higher = Darker
   Lower = Brighter
• Minimum Light
   Restricts blocklight to never go below this value
   Prevents caves from being pitch black (unless you set it to zero that is)
• Lightmap Colors
  • Nether Ambient Brightness
  • End Ambient Brightness
  • End Ambient Saturation
  • Skylight Day (RGB Color Picker)
  • Skylight Night (RGB Color Picker)
  • Blocklight (RGB Color Picker)
     Select blocklight color (torches, glowstone, etc.)
     If "Complex Blocklight" is enabled, this color will NOT be used
  • Complex Blocklight
     Allows you to select two colors for blocklight
     One for dark parts, one for bright parts
  • Blend Curve
     Higher: Emphasize "Bright" color
     Lower: Emphasize "Dark" color
     50 = linear transition
  • Complex Blocklight Dark (RGB Color Picker)
  • Complex Blocklight Bright (RGB Color Picker)

Depth Of Field

• Depth of Field
   Blurs non-focused objects, like a real camera
• Bokeh Samples
   Quality of the blur
   Higher is better
   Significantly affects performance
• DoF Intensity
   Intensity of the Depth of Field effect
   Low performance impact
• Maximum Blur - High, Unlimited
   Limits the strength of the DoF blur
   Helps reduce artifacts when using lower sample counts and is better for gameplay
• DoF Downsampling Amount
   Amount of Downsampling that takes place for the Depth of Field effect
   Reduces DoF artifacts, increases pixelation artifacts
   No/Low performance impact
• Far Blur Only
   Only blurs far away things
• Sample Rejection
   Improved DoF Quality by (mostly) removing color bleeding
   Can have a significant performance impact
• Focus Delay
   Sets how long the focus takes to adjust

Reflections

• Reflection Mode - OFF, Sky, Flipped Image, Raytraced
• Raytracing Quality
   Number of raytracing iterations
   Lower is faster
• Thickness Estimation Modifier - Infinite
   Increase this if the reflection blind spots annoy you
   Influences assumption about how thick a pixel is
   No performance impact
• Fade Edges
• Reflection Threshold
   PBR only
   Sets the minimum required reflectiveness in order for SSR to enable
   Higher values may introduce reflection cutoffs
• Screen Space Refraction
   Distorts things seen through water
• Refraction Strength
• Glass Reflections
   Adds reflections to tinted glass blocks

Water

• Waving Water
   "Physical" Waves
   Moves the water surface
• Wave Height
• Wave Normals - OFF, Noise, Sine
• Normals Strength
   Fake Waves, pretending to be real ones
   Added detail
• Normals Scale
• Water Absorption Density
• Water Absorption Bias
   Adds a constant to the water fog distance
   Can help in making water more visible
• Water Texture
   Enables the vanilla water texture
• Water Color Options
  • Water Absorption (RGB Color Picker)
  • Absorption Color Multiplier

Camera and Tonemapping

• Exposure
• Tonemapping - Custom Reinhard, Unreal
• Contrast
• Vibrance

• Brightness
• Vignette - OFF, Round, Square
   Darkens screen borders
• Vignette Strength

Post Processing

• TAA  Temporal Anti-Aliasing
   Smooths edges at the cost of a slightly blurrier image
   Might cause problems with OptiFine's high-res screenshot feature
• TAA Options
  • TAA Blending Constant
     Controls the opacity of the current frame
     Set this value lower for smoother TAA
  • TAA Sharpening
     Changes the strength of the sharpening effect
• Bloom
   Creates a glow around bright objects
   Looks nice ;)
• Bloom Strength
• Motion Blur
• Motion Blur Intensity
• SSAO
   Screen Space Ambient Occlusion
   Makes cavities dark
   High performance impact
• SSAO Quality - Low, Medium, High
• SSAO Strength

Atmospherics
