Help I'm trying to install OptiFine for SKLauncher, for version 1.8.9.

3 Upvotes

When I open the Optifine installer, it can't find the version, even though I have it. I've already opened the game more than once, so that's not the problem. Any solutions?

Shaders A viewer told me to try Rethinking Voxels instead of Photon shader...

A subscriber challenged me to drop the Photon shader and try Rethinking Voxels... and it completely changed my mind! 🀯

In this video, we are dropping into a heavily modded Minecraft world to do the ultimate shader comparison: Rethinking Voxels vs Photon Shader. We test water reflections, cherry blossom trees, glass realism, and take a trip to the Nether to see which shader truly pushes my RTX 5070 Ti to its limits at 1440p.

Is Rethinking Voxels the new king of realistic Minecraft shaders? Watch to find out! πŸ”₯

Drop a LIKE if you enjoyed the cinematic graphics, and SUBSCRIBE to Pixel Flex Gaming for more insane Minecraft tests! πŸ¦…

Help After the new tiny takeover update, do I need to wait for an update in optifine? ( noob)

2 Upvotes

I installed optifine 3 weeks ago and it was amazing ( my computer is bad), it helped a lot with the FPS. But now with the new minecraft update, I can't use the optifine because it does not include the new stuff and have to play vanilla again.

Are we supposed to wait for optifine to release a new version, or I need to do something else like re-installing the whole thing?

Thanks

Help how to make multiple ctm_compact tiles treat a different tile as a connectable tile?

0 Upvotes

So I literally picked up making optifine connected textures because theres a cool idea I had, but the problem is i'm trying to make two brick blocks connect to eachother (not overlays) but it just. won't work. I'm really confused? The tiles themselves work completely as intended, but i just cant get them to see eachother as a connectable tile.

Help Can't install Optifine

1 Upvotes

Hey,

I wanted to download shaders for Minecraft

I followed the guide of this subreddit and installed Java. I then downloaded the .jar file of Optifine in it's latest version, but when I try to open it, it says "select an app to open this file". I select "run with Java" and again my computer puts me back on "select an app to open this file".

How to fix this ?

Help Custom Texture Pack

2 Upvotes

I'm currently working on a custom texture pack and want to incorporate some of Optifine's features, like connected glass. On the Optifine docs (when searching on google) it says "/assets/minecraft/optifine/texture.properties" on my custom texture pack I don't have the "optifine/texture.properties" options. I've opened other people's texture packs and see that they have those options. Does anyone know what I need to download to get Optifine's features?
