My computer is not very good so I very much want to be able to use Optifine to run 1.14.4. The mod runs fine but even when keeping fog on in the settings, my nether and end visibility is way increased over vanilla. Obviously this is not allowed, so does anyone know how to get the fog to appear the way it does in normal Minecraft? I have Fog in video settings set to on and already tried turning fog start to 0.2 through 0.8 and with all of them I can see way farther in other dimensions than I'm supposed to.

I'm pretty new to speed running and use a not too powerful gaming laptop. Most recording software causes me to lag beyond belief but the one I found that is relatively lag-free only records the game window, which does not include the timer. Do submissions have to have the timer in the video, or is it fine to just have the video of the actual game? I would assume it's fine to not have the timer because you can just manually time it to verify the time of the run, and the rules for submissions don't state this specifically, but I want to make sure.
