OptiFine HD Mechanics & Controls

OptiFine adds several functional mechanics that improve the player's interaction with the world.

• Zoom: By pressing the zoom key (default: C), the player's field of view is significantly narrowed, allowing for a closer look at distant objects.
• Dynamic Lights: Allows handheld light sources (like torches, lanterns, or buckets of lava) to illuminate the environment around the player without being placed. Dropped light-emitting items also provide light.
• Capes: Players who support the mod can wear custom OptiFine capes, which are visible to all other OptiFine users. These capes can be customized with various designs and colors via the official website.
