Simpler Options
by Just_a_Mango
Simpler Options is a client-side Fabric utility that rebuilds the video settings menu so that Dynamic Lights and Better Grass each get a simple button.
What it does
Several mods add options to the video settings screen, which can crowd it. This mod tidies that screen by giving the Dynamic Lights and Better Grass settings their own buttons. Each button cycles through Off, Fast and Fancy, a pattern similar to the choices Optifine offers. Installing it requires Fabric API. Files cover 1.17 and 1.17.1, with 0.3.0 for 1.17.1 as the latest, released under the MIT License as open source code.
Key features
Dynamic Lights button
A single button in the video settings toggles Dynamic Lights between Off, Fast and Fancy.
Better Grass button
A separate button in the same menu sets Better Grass to Off, Fast or Fancy.
Compatible with other option mods
The menu changes stay compatible with other mods that add options, so they can run alongside it.
