Maintain Consistent Video and Audio Settings Across Instances
Why Consistency Matters
If you've fine-tuned your graphics settings for performance or visual quality, you don't want to reconfigure them every time you switch instances. Global Options Mod keeps these settings unified.
Video Settings That Sync
Your synchronized options include:
- Render distance and simulation distance
- Graphics quality (fast/fancy)
- Brightness and contrast
- Field of view (FOV)
- Particle effects and animation settings
- Fullscreen/windowed mode
- Resolution preferences
Audio Settings That Sync
Sound configuration also carries over:
- Master volume level
- Individual volume sliders (music, blocks, weather, etc.)
- Subtitle settings
Workflow
1. Launch your primary instance and adjust video/audio to your liking
2. Install Global Options Mod in other instances
3. Launch those instances—settings are already applied
4. If you tweak settings later in any instance, all others update automatically
This is particularly useful for maintaining consistent performance across instances or ensuring the same audio experience whether you're playing vanilla or modded versions.
