¹ Not identical to OptiFine as people did not prefer the look. If you want it to be identical:
1.​Disable Cull Less Leaves​
2.​Install the original Cull Leaves​
3.Enable Cull Leaves' bundled resource pack
4.Disable "Use Block Face Culling" in Options → Video Settings... → Performance.
² The defaults do not match OptiFine, because people preferred a smoother zoom. To make it identical to OptiFine:
1.Click Mods button, search for Zoomify, click it and on the top left hit the Configure icon.
2.Head over to Misc tab, set the preset to OptiFine
³ Better Snow is opt-in, because changes some textures too, making it weird with some resource packs:
1.Click Mods, search for LambdaBetterGrass, click it and on the top left hit the Configure icon.
2.Set Better Snow to ON
​
Additionally, you can enjoy:
Better mod compatibility
​Easy installation for various launchers
​Some extra features OptiFine does not provide
Parity with OptiFine is an ongoing process. If you're interested in what's coming, see this list.
