#1. Am i allowed to edit gamma in options text file? There seems to be conflicting info on this topic

#2.is it 100% necessary to live stream the run? I get entirely too nervous when live streaming runs and would love to just record the whole process if possible.

Thanks in advanced for any help im new to this and really want to do everything by the book.

Editing gamma after 1.0 is forbidden and iirc only WR runs need to be streamed to be verified.

Thanks allot appreciate the info

1. Currently gamma settings are controversial and the rule is under debate, currently, just keep your gamma at 1 max and don't edit the options text file, although the rule may change later.
2. No it's not necessary to live stream the run wr or not. It was an old rule that you needed to be streaming to verify a wr, but that is no longer the case. However, streaming does help clear any doubts about verification but not required by any means. The past 2 wr's for 1.16 rsg were recorded offline.

Awesome thankyou for the response, I just download fabric and sodium and I'm not seeing any option to turn off dynamic fov is it also a rule to keep dynamic fov on in 1.16 runs? Or if I can find a way around it without mods or datapacks is that allowed ?

Also WR runs dont need to be streamed that was an old rule. However you do need to give the world file if its top 10 or something

I think giving world files is if it's a sub 20
