- Fancy enables higher quality graphic effects. Graphic effects include transparentleaves, enlargened rain particles, a black vignette around the screen in darker areas, and the world border crimson warning vignette effect.
- Quick disables those effects for better spectacle.
The most distant terrain is faded into the sky color as if by fog, to avoid a acute edge to the visible world; so this option is also known as "fog".
- Fancy causes the clouds to be rendered in 3D.
- Prompt causes the clouds to be rendered vapid.
- OFF causes no clouds to be rendered.
- OFF No attack indicator renders.
- Crosshair A little grey translucent bar shows up below the crosshair displaying attack power
- Hotbar A little grey sword bar shows up on the side of the hotbar (on the same side as the player’s main palm) displaying attack power

Graphics [ edit | edit source ]
Note that clouds on quick graphics remain volumetric but become opaque.
Experimental [ edit | edit source ]
(Only available on supported low-end devices).
Console Edition [ edit | edit source ]
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 thirty one – which eliminated 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, providing the appearance of a higher render distance at the cost of pop in.
