In this situation deleting options.txt will reset all settings to their defaults, which is the best way to fix any strange issue with the game (many would just say to reinstall the entire game but the launcher verifies the checksums of the game files on every launch and redownloads any files that do not match, excluding "data" files like configuration files, saves, resource packs, as well as mods and modded versions, so those can be the only possible explanation for broken game behavior).

Every time you launch the game the launcher verifies that the files have the correct size and checksum:
This is inside the json file that comes with each version in the .minecraft\versions folder, which includes a hash/checksum, file size, and URL to the file on Mojang's servers, which includes not just the main jar (shown here) but every library and every asset in the .minecraft\assets folder; each time the game is launched the launcher will recompute the checksum for each file listed and make sure they match, and if they do not it will attempt to redownload the file (if this fails the launcher treats it as a fatal error so you can't play). The only way to bypass this is to edit the json file to delete the corresponding "downloads" section, as modded versions must do, else the launcher simply resets the modded jar, which still gives a warning in the launcher log but at least it accepts it when there is no valid checksum or file size:
Aside from modded versions and mods, "data" files produced by the game, such as saves, as well as user-created content like resource packs, are exempt from integrity checks so only these files can be responsible for causing game malfunctions due to corrupt files.
options.txt is found in the .minecraft folder, or the root of the game directory if you changed it (in the profile settings in the launcher). Also, the crash report indicates that you are using mods; if deleting options.txt (and optionsof.txt, which is Optifine's configuration file, located in the same location) does not work and a clean unmodded vanilla profile works properly then the culprit is one of the mods; test by removing half the mods and see if the issue persists and if not, test the other half (be sure to do this on a test world as modded items will otherwise be lost! For safety, make a backup and/or test in a separate game directory), with particular attention to Optifine as it makes many changes to rendering (it can and often does break things when used with other mods).
Where are saves stored? The default .minecraft folder includes saves, resource packs, mods, etc with options.txt stored in the root of the folder, and it or a custom directory contains the following at a minimum:
I have no idea how third-party launchers handle things but surely there is a game directory that contains saves, screenshots, etc; in the vanilla launcher you can find it by editing a profile and looking at the game directory option, or by launching the game and going to the resource pack selection menu and clicking on "open pack folder" (you really should know where things are stored so you can make regular backups of saves in case of world corruption, which is more common than you think, especially when using mods, and many never have any forms of recovery because they never made a backup).
I have no clue what happened

Didn't work. Perhaps some logs/crash reports will help identify the issue?

There doesn't seem to be an options.txt anywhere that I can find.

And so the fix is?
options.txt is found in the .minecraft folder, or the root of the game directory if you changed it (in the profile settings in the launcher).

I can't seem to find an options.txt within the modded profile in curseforge, I'll inform you if I gain the energy to check all 161 mods later.
Where are saves stored? The default .minecraft folder includes saves, resource packs, mods, etc with options.txt stored in the root of the folder, and it or a custom directory contains the following at a minimum:
.minecraft
--logs
--resourcepacks
--saves
--screenshots
--options.txt
I have no idea how third-party launchers handle things but surely there is a game directory that contains saves, screenshots, etc; in the vanilla launcher you can find it by editing a profile and looking at the game directory option, or by launching the game and going to the resource pack selection menu and clicking on "open pack folder" (you really should know where things are stored so you can make regular backups of saves in case of world corruption, which is more common than you think, especially when using mods, and many never have any forms of recovery because they never made a backup).

...right, I'm more confused now. Nvm, sorry
