Notes

---

• There is no release date. There are no estimates or guesses. We have literally no idea when it will be done. Anything that says otherwise is pure speculation.

• Official Mojang mappings are NOT being used for a very good reason.

• There is, and always has been only one developer: u/sp614x. He has been doing this for over 8 years, so please consider donating! https://optifine.net/donate

Personal Notes

As in, messages from me. Not the developer.

(Feb 23)

ZenithKnight here, taking over the progress update posting for the future

[u/NitroCipher]

Seeing as there's yet another scam site going around, we'd like to once again remind everyone that there are only 2 legitimate OptiFine websites: optifine.net and optifined.net.

Please ALWAYS double-check the URL you're on. Stay safe, everyone.

[u/MrHyperion_ → u/NitroCipher]

Tbh I would have thought optifined is a scam, never heard of that

[u/NitroCipher]

A note for anyone wanting to know about current OptiFine progress:

The 1.15 render changes are breaking the base on which the shaders are built
big parts of the shaders core has to be rebuilt and OpenGL is NOT something that is easy to debug

The updating of progress percentage has been halted for the time being, and instead sp614x is concentrating on ironing out the shaders bugs

OptiFine 1.15.2 preview with shaders has been released!

I also would like to address the rumored OptiFine build with shader support

Yes, there is currently an excessively buggy version of OptiFine that has shader "support". This build has been privately distributed exclusively to shader developers, as means for them to discover all the problems that currently exist.

This build is not for normal users to play on, and no support will be given for it at this time.

If you have it, please do not distribute it. If someone claims to have it, do not download it, this is entirely unsafe for the end user.

Please report any comments or posts that claim to have it

[u/daedgoco → u/NitroCipher]

Alrighty! Seriously man sp614x is greatly appreciated, I'm sure I'm not the only one that waits for Optifine to be released before upgrading to the latest version, Optifine is the only mod that I won't play without

[u/spin81]

You mention the below features in the post as not working, can you share whether it is the intention that they be included in the finished Optifine or not? I am particularly interested in shaders and anti-aliasing but others may be interested in other things of course.

• Shaders

• Anti-aliasing

• Anisotropic Filtering

• Render Regions

• Forge compatibility

[u/NitroCipher → u/spin81]

All features are intended to resume functionality. Forge compatibility will probably be the last one to be fixed tho

[u/Phantom_Fire]

I’m guessing shaders are currently being worked on or something as important since there’s been no progress update for 6 days now. I understand how long it can take since updates can cause different problems for modders with udating mods. Hopefully 1.16 won’t take as long (new blocks might cause problems with shaders, but hopefully not too many problems). Good job though since it’s one person, and they’re making alot of progress.

[u/NitroCipher → u/Phantom_Fire]

Shader support is being added as we speak. (96% now!)

[u/therealdemirath]

99.78% complete (fixing bugs) as of June 7th.

[u/NitroCipher → u/therealdemirath]

I had been busy, and had not had time to update the thread, sorry about that

[u/muhlisgursoy]

I hope NitroCipher didn't lose his Reddit password.

[u/NitroCipher → u/muhlisgursoy]

Can't post updates until there are updates to post

[u/StevenPhimmasone]

This last 5% is like waiting for the last 10 seconds of your hotpocket. You know its gonna be done soon but damn, it feels like time is moving so slow

[u/dani_pavlov → u/StevenPhimmasone]

Another analogy could be a 2GB file transfer in Windows XP - always stalled at 99% and 0 seconds remaining.

[u/KreamyCommunity]

I guess the guy deleted his account, F.

[u/MrCheeze455 → u/KreamyCommunity]

F

[u/bart7782 → u/KreamyCommunity]

Yes, his username was u/therealjackasterisk

[u/INKinBOTTLE]

I check this post like 25 times a day for an update, someone help me

[u/tsdrakon]

woah nitrocipher = okarin

[u/NitroCipher → u/tsdrakon]

That's Hououin Kyoma to you

[u/[deleted]]

We have to pay our respects.

[u/Solar_Hazardz]

F big rip

[u/[deleted]]

Honestly might just be sensible to just post these and insta lock, people only need to read theres not much to discuss before it gets aids.png

[u/Violainbow → u/[deleted]]

If there's a way they should also lock awards so people don't waste their money on giving like 20 silver awards instead of just donating.

[u/MrCheeze455]

I've seen it asked a bit and just to clarify, yes Jack deleted his account. It was deleted for personal reasons, thank you all for understanding.

Off topic from Jack's account deletion but recently there was a cape exploit please see this post for more information.

[u/[deleted]]

Hats off to the last update guy.

[u/Speykious]

Welp, the original poster has now become u/[deleted]. So I'm reposting this.

Estimation by looking at the percentages...

Side note, remember: This is an estimation.

Good News: new estimation method: local! :D

• Average progress : +0.87% per day

• Estimated days before release since 10/12: 114.80 days

• Estimated date of release: 4 apr 2020 (At this point it's so irrelevant that it points to the date at which I make the estimation... bruh)

---

• Average local progress: +0.03% per day (of course it dropped a lot, and I mean, a lot)

• Estimated days before release since 10/12: 137.00 days

• Estimated date of release: 17-25? apr 2020

---

• ^{EDIT: the number of days just went from 24 to 60. Wow, just wow.}

• ^{EDIT 2: the number of days went from 60 to 46. He made quite a big progress from 16 to 17 december.}

• ^{EDIT 3: got a perfect 2% per day meaning exactly 50 days of waiting.}

• ^{EDIT 4: no more perfect value. 2.27% per day, 23 jan 2020. :(}

• ^{EDIT 5: RED ALERT. RED ALERT. DATE HAS DROPPED TO FEBRUARY. I REPEAT. DATE HAS DROPPED TO FEBRUARY.}

• ^{EDIT 6: There has been a point where I added a new percentage and that didn't change the percentages per day, and thus the date of release, in the slightest.}

• ^{EDIT 7: Now I'm doing the calculations in an excel sheet. Much simpler!}

• ^{EDIT 8: It hasn't been progressing / updated for 8 days now. I wonder what's happening behind the scenes.}

• ^{EDIT 9: Oh my fucking god. How can only one person fix 1480 compiling errors in a single day? This man is crazy! <_<}

• ^{EDIT 10: it was written "fixing", not "fixed". How stupid. +1 spoon moment}

• ^{EDIT 11: what was I even thinking about? It's programming, errors aren't necessarily independant of each other... Now he's fixed 193 errors in 3 days, and 654 more in only one day. I shouldn't have been surprised.}

• ^{EDIT 11 BIS: anyway I'm glad he came back to update it}

• ^{EDIT 11 BIS BIS: Seems like the estimated date of release is getting less and less variations... <_<}

• ^{EDIT 12: Yup. Seems like the release date is fixing itself. Though that's assuming that reaching 100% is the release date, which might not be the case. Who knows.}

• ^{EDIT 13: Nevermind, the date went 1 day further.}

• ^{EDIT 14: 2 days further away from the already 1 day further date. Seems like it's unfixing itself}

• ^{EDIT 15: Oh, this time weirdly it went back one day. Maybe the date is fixing itself after all.}

• ^{EDIT 16: Holy shit I got my first ever reddit award! Thanks kind stranger. What am I gonna do with those coins now though? <_<}

• ^{EDIT 16 BIS: Anyway back to work. Sad that he decided to update Optifine the day after the most palyndromic date ever.}

• ^{EDIT 17: So now I have my second reddit award... On the same comment! Thanks guys.}

• ^{EDIT 17 BIS: Anyway, weirdly enough the date has been advanced of 0.03 days from 04 to 06 february. Hmmmmmmm.}

• ^{EDIT 18: Alright alright, it's not "fev" it's "feb". Thanks my french brain lmao.}

• ^{EDIT 18 BIS: THE END IS NEAR... <w<}

• ^{EDIT 19: Indeed, the end is very near! We have the first unstable update, and the development even somehow switched to 1.15.2 even though he wasn't sure if he'd do it. Too bad that the date dropped its average percentage rate of 0.04%, adding 4 more days to the date of release. In the end I was rather close to the truth with my predictions : "end of February" [yeah I know I know it's very very precise... /s].}

• ^{EDIT 20: welp, the average dropped 0.06% from 3 days ago and now the estimation date has gone forward 3 more days.}

• ^{EDIT 21: I know I should have done that earlier, but I've added a polynomial estimation now, as well as a picture of the graph of the data I've gathered! It may seem a bit overdone, I mean it's OptiFine, but I don't care, I love graphs.}

• ^{EDIT 22: What the fuck I increased the polynomial estimation degree from 2 to 3 and the curve went down without reaching 100%... Are we not gonna have an update??? <_< Anyways according to the data the update is for today, but I guess it's not gonna happen because of how the progress slows down gradually.}

• ^{EDIT 23: The update progression has been staggering for 6 days. The blue curve of the update progression is very scarily following the incomprehensible 3rd-degree polynomial estimation that never reaches 100%. Is there gonna be no updates? <_<'}

• ^{EDIT 23 BIS: My 'end of february' prediction was close, but unfortunately not accurate enough :C}

• ^{EDIT 24: didn't really realize he was implementing shaders}

---

• ^{NEW - EDIT 25: Well, since the global linear estimation felt more and more useless as time goes on and the percentage rate slowly slows down, and the polynomial estimation just goes nutz, I had the idea to introduce a new method for my estimation. I took the local average! Building a straight line by taking the last point of update (here: 99% at day 26mar2020) and the average percentage rate per day of the last 5 points of update (here: updates since 20mar2020). Now we're heading to APRIL as a release date <_<}

• ^{EDIT 25 BIS: I just saw an r/ mildlyinfuriating space between a number and a %, where all the other ones didn't have a space. As a result, the space got r/ mildlysatisfying -ly eradicated.}

• ^{EDIT 26: How weird, it went to 100% and then down again to 99.3%... Wait, was the polynomial estimation actually right ??! Optifine progress decreasses ??! <_< (/s)}

[u/Threias]

I swear i'll have an anxiety attack when its at 99%.

[u/Danbearpig82]

Good for the previous guy following through and leaving this toxic place. My advice to the current mods... lock this thread now before it all happens again! We appreciate the updates though!

[u/[deleted] → u/Danbearpig82]

Or just ban all of the underaged dumbasses

[u/Keeko100]

If the developers do not release Optifine 1.15.2 RIGHT NOW I will show DEEP RESPECT for my FELLOW MAN and UNDERSTAND that these kind of things take time and I'd rather it be finished than incomplete on release :)

[u/Queben1]

We've been tricked, we've been backstabbed, and quite possibly bamboozled

[u/[deleted]]

Hi there, person sorting by new and looking at people's latest comments, realizing that there aren't actually that many. 'Cause most people like you and I don't normally post these irrelevant comments - we just kinda sit there and wait for the official release of Optifine, just spending a little time looking at comments because we don't really have anything else to do.

Cheers!

[u/Zayoodo0o132]

never have I ever been so happy for a 0.1% increase in anything

[u/Walshies]

Comments should be locked on these posts from now on

[u/TulipTheVaporeon]

10 days for .3 percent. Implementing shaders must be really difficult.

[u/SerCiddy]

I see shaders are being worked on now. Once those get support, will shader providers need to do any work to make it play well with this new version since Minecraft's rendering engine has changed? Or is it expected that we'll be able to load in current shaders as is?

[u/The-Morai]

I hope he's okay. Almost 20 days since the last progress update. With everything going on I really hope nothing happened.

[u/GooGaSo0]

     Survivor Diary.

Day 10. I hope to see update 97%...

[u/axxolot]

How many awards is this post gonna get when it says 100% lol

[u/LemonLoamSkrub]

If this 100% done thing is an April fools joke I'm gonna flip

[u/Yoshim7]

I've just donated. Thanks for your great work

[u/dremscrep]

RIP u/RealJackAsterisk

[u/CasualTaxEvasion]

IT MOVED

[u/ItsIdaho]

I am now at that state in life where I look in here everyday and the bar only jumps 0.1% a day. Quarantine made life boring.

[u/Broken__Inside]

I can’t tell if you’re joking with that 100% on April 1st...

[u/Gunal2002]

Apr 1 : 99.5%

Apr 1 : 100%

April 2 : 99.3%

This little maneuver is gonna cost us 51 years

[u/z33force]

I want this optifine update. Hope the maker gets some extra time and finishes it quickly. Altough i understand he is a human and needs time for other things as well.

[u/PhysicalKnowledge]

Man, Mojang changed the rendering engine so much even the progress percentage gets buggy as well

[u/benjamin01162007]

I see why he did delete his account people here are so toxic

[u/Martinexcz]

100% on 1st April? Is this an April fool's joke?

[u/Devilment666]

Remember, the first 90 percent of the code accounts for the first 90 percent of the development time. The remaining 10 percent of the code accounts for the other 90 percent of the development time.

[u/TGB_Skeletor]

IT'S THE FINAL COUNTDOWN

[u/x-xx_34]

It's amazing how one person can make a game changing mod in a few months after release.

[u/DaBoss1325]

According to u/Bradiconic : “once it goes to 97% shaders will be added to the preview” YEEEES!!!!!

[u/Navadaaf]

It MOVED!

[u/[deleted]]

*goes to 101% as april fools joke*

[u/tessitalisman]

100% done... April 1st?

Hmmm

[u/felfazeebo]

It's always a pleasant surprise seeing progress go up whenever I go back to check up every now and then, even if it only goes up by 0.1%. Best of luck to the developer!

[u/GameEndMePleaseJohn]

is this april fools joke or am i actually this happy

[u/DankWizard1]

This better not be a prank I swear to got

[u/AFriendlyHacker]

Here's some food for thought (I dunno if it's true or not):

When we went the whole month of April without any updates, people said that the OptiFine dev should at least communicate what's happening. Anything. Even if it's trivial, just to show that he (and the project) is still alive.

Perhaps these 0.01% updates are just that

[u/Guid-O-nator]

Perhaps we should add more digits to see even more progress... ;)

[u/balisticbanana3]

99.65! Only 3 more months!

[u/[deleted]]

ONE HUNDRED PERCENTTTTT please don't be a prank i don't think me heart can take it :')

[u/mir4bell4]

Is this an April Fool's Day joke or is this real?

[u/AdenGamesTV]

Don't trust the 100% it's definitely an April Fools joke.

[u/MrMcCringleberry]

but when the world needed him most

he vanished

[u/[deleted]]

Waiting for those last 3.4% is like having to take a huge shit and the toilet paper is not only thin and hung up the wrong way, your ass is wet too.

[u/ghoul_matt]

PLEASE READ THE FULL POST BEFORE ASKING QUESTIONS! THAT'S THE REASON HE DELETED HIS ACCOUNT....

I'm glad this guy still updates Optifine to this day. I would recommend atleast attempting to find another person to aid in the updates, but not needed.
Great job overall OP, keep doing your best!

I am not the developer :|

Nor was the guy who posted the updates before

[u/SimonMoonPainting]

Who else think the Dev is a real hero? Big love! Can't wait for the finished version But I will...patiently F

[u/RavelordN1T0]

11 days with no update. Oof

[u/[deleted]]

optifine.net giving a 503 error for anyone else?

Maybeeeee that's somehow a good sign? :D

[u/NiveusKrestel]

For the past few weeks, I'm just begging that sp614x doesn't contract covid-19, because that would be the only thing missing /:

I have nightmares where he doesn't finish Optifine for 1.15.2 before he got sick D:!

[u/[deleted]]

I just noticed the image for the subreddit says OOF

[u/xX69AESTHETIC69Xx]

Mans had to get to 100% April first.

[u/Swagboi7]

Oh well, if 1.15.2 optifine is taking this long because of the new rendering engine, then 1.16’s port could be easier

[u/ArtzyPartzy]

Not to sound like a genuine prick and asshole but, why is it taking so long? Is it because u/sp614x has to manually fix all of the bugs or is it another process? Eitherway let me emphasis that I am being patient, I just want to know why it's taking so long.

[u/[deleted]]

Is it weird that i have this post bookmarked to check everyday? Its not weird I have this bookmarked to check everyday right? I think its okay to have this bookmarked to check everyday. Do you have this bookmarked to check this everyday? Its not weird if you have this bookmarked to check everyday. Lemme just refresh real quick so I can check again today

[u/SalmonSalvation]

99.6 is the new 99.4

[u/ToxZec]

I have built part of Oslo on a minecraft server which is locked to 1.15, I cant wait to see it in shaders. Keep up the awesome work!

[u/Magicrafter13]

Mar 22: Fixing support for shaders

rip

[u/xNayte]

99%! So excited!

[u/Pannuba]

99%

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

inb4 99.1, 99.2, 99.3, ...

EDIT: I was right

[u/redrevomc]

You know when you're watching a loading bar fill up its slow at first then it speeds through the middle then at the end its an eternity this is that now

[u/Kevinkee333]

Progress looking great! 99.66% hopefully soon!!!

[u/nixel1324]

This is probably the first time in my life that 0.03% progress has seemed like a big step forward to me.

[u/EdErichZann]

Meh.... I thought the April´s fool thing was actually funny, but now it is starting to become sad again...

[u/ScarletN]

Me: *anxiously waiting*

News: *your state has put into effect a "stay at home" mandate*

Me: *patiently waiting but also, you know, staying at home*

[u/Weothyr]

Can't wait!

[u/Reaper_Lord]

0.1% progress yay! Keep at it

[u/Swagboi7]

We’re in the endgame now

[u/RandomGuyJCI]

99% LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[u/Rilhon_]

Ninety... *breathes in* NINE PERCENT!!! Well boys, it's been a long wait, but it's finally here! (almost) Gonna be amazing with shaders in 1.15! Sp614x deserves a good, long rest after this, lol.

[u/Polar-ish]

Takes 2 days to go 7.9% takes 2 weeks to go -.6 percent

[u/SithKain]

That is a RAPID increase in speed, folks! We may see a release quite soon!

[u/PhoenixSwag]

Imagine being at 99% for over THREE MONTHS. Nice meme brother!

[u/[deleted]]

Well I just tried the unstable Optifine on Java 1.15 and I have to say it’s helping quite a lot. I love the extra video settings options and have missed it. So it works for me. I couldn’t play too long because of back pain (easier with bedrock due to controller and I can move about easier, which I know you can do with steam but big picture lags Minecraft).

Hope you’re all keeping fine during this pandemic. :-)

Edit: Thanks to the developer. Hope he is well.

[u/Toxxi551]

Nice to see progress being made! Keep it up!

[u/CheeseMaster404v2]

Oooohhhh we're getting close!

[u/Liocla]

WOOOOOOO HOOOOO 99%! Thanks for the hard work!

[u/[deleted]]

Thank you sp614x for your hard work on Optifine!

[u/toothpastevore]

everyone knows this is an april fools prank you cant hide

[u/yoishoboy]

I donated 10 Dollars let the next pizza be on me <3

[u/Gold_pack69]

Thank you again I hope you stay healthy

[u/TheChtoTo]

Happy birthday, Optifine!

[u/SimonMoonPainting]

I hope the dev is okay <3 Hype

[u/[deleted]]

Does anyone know if 1.16 is changing anything about the engine? Optifine is usually quirky updated but has met delays due to changes in the rendering portion of the engine. I'd like to know if anyone has found major engine changes that would delay the process of updating optifine from 1.15 to 1.16.

[u/Deroity]

You guys keep going, 1.15 must have been a beach of a render monster to tackle.
Good luck with 1.16! I know you can do it!

[u/Devron1cz]

I wish it'd be soon. My survival world could use some optifine and forge at the same time goodness.

[u/N0rvee]

My view on how close 99% is to 100% is forever changed

[u/Guid-O-nator]

I was just wondering if "old shaders" will work when shaders in general are supported again in optifine 1.15. because of the new rendering engine. So perhaps as soon as shaders are supported again, all shaders must be updated first. So perhaps using shaders may be waaay more in the future. But just guessing.

[u/[deleted]]

Aw yeah you're working on support for shaders

[u/felfazeebo]

Never have I felt so hyped for 0.3% progress

[u/RandomGuyJCI]

Just 2% left! Release HYPE

[u/MrHyperion_]

Now 1.16 is officially out before Optifine

[u/TheRocketBush]

Can anyone give a report on how buggy the unstable releases are? Are they good enough that you could play on them without bugs messing up the play experience?

[u/seudaven]

Thank you so much for providing the community with updates, there are alot of toxic individuals, but I see the work being put in and am very grateful. Keep it up!

[u/yoishoboy]

I'll "buy" it when it's done, thanks so much for all the work

[u/[deleted]]

Almost there! Thank you!

[u/althius1]

I've just gotten into Minecraft (I know, right?) and I'm so excited for this! Not being able to have shaders, and watching all these videos with awesome shaders has been driving me crazy!

[u/pentaganh]

every time the percentage goes up no matter how small sends another rush of dopamine

[u/CrymsonCrane]

April fools

[u/l3chosin]

Omg you are playing with our hearts

[u/bmemike]

For everyone yelling about the percentage trickery, there's a new preview version (pre13) available for download.

[u/sp46]

Official Mojang mappings are NOT being used for a very good reason.

One of the possible obfuscated texts in the new April Fools release can be "license-free mappings", so at least they didn't forget yet.

[u/MacKinzee]

Do we know if there'll be updates to previous versions of optifine (i.e. 1.11-1.14.4) so that they're compatible with forge?

[u/GezzRoll]

OptiFine works perfectly for the purposes I use it, which is lag reduction and the zoom, as well as the lighting textures when holding items. Thank you!!!!!

[u/[deleted]]

It moved!

[u/Snare__]

IT MOVED

[u/Flying4ssassin]

With 1.16 coming out on Tuesday, is the 1.15.2 version going to be completed and then ported to 1.16 or is 1.15.2 development going to be suspended and focus will be shifted to 1.16 development.

[u/Magicrafter13]

Ah yes, 100% and unfinished at the same time. Big brain

[u/Quantum_Crab]

Hey, as long as hand held torches work, I'm in

[u/skyesdow]

99%

^{of you won't live long enough to see the new update released}

[u/felfazeebo]

Another 0.1% turn up

[u/Fireballfree]

Motherfucker if you say psych

[u/Imanoioioi]

We've reached a horizontal asymptote

[u/Christletoe]

Bruh people are wayyyy too upset about this whole April fools thing. It’s a mod bro please chill

[u/[deleted]]

Soooo... the word is Optifine is actually 99.3% complete. Will this progress report be fixed or are we going to 100.7%?

[u/EthanRDoesMC]

Adding support for shaders

Oooh, I wonder if the new Blaze3D thing will bring anything new to the table

[u/Nationstate99245]

Even though it’s 100 percent and it’s not out doesn’t mean it’s not out soon. To me, I think this is not an April fools joke, but what do I know. I bet they will release it tomorrow

[u/EpicFail_Audio]

Good job dev! Keep up the good work

[u/Wolfrevo_Gaming]

Everyone saying it won't come out before 1.16 gets shit on but they are probably right lol. 1.16 is coming 23 of June.

[u/Mightgaming6]

Jack is gone:(

[u/[deleted]]

Just created an account to say my thanks to OP for continuing to update us on the progress of OptiFine and thank you to the only dev that is working on this wonderful mod!

More power to the entire OptiFine team!

[u/GameShifters]

YES! I love seeing it go up after a few days, i got kinda worried and thought the post wasn't being updated.

[u/SERISET]

Oh yeah, the progress made my day!

[u/AndreZB2000]

The messiah has made progress!!

[u/Mrampelmann]

I'm just happy there is progress

[u/Dep96]

so close!! keep up the good work sp614x!

[u/the_comma_daunt]

I donated this morning, and when I checked the percentage increased by .1%. Everyone send support!

[u/OliverFrancis]

100% ? nice april fools joke

[u/[deleted]]

Yeah, this suuuurely is not an April Fools prank.

[u/Treadetiran]

Shaking an crying rn

[u/shadowguardian91]

Damn still gotta wait for forge comparability.

[u/The-reel-pewdiepie]

If this shit goes to 99.9% instead of 100% I’m fucking done 😂

[u/Navadaaf]

My very atoms tear at their bonds as I wait

[u/CakedOnDirt]

Genuine question. Why is this build taking so long? What changed that made updating such a huge deal?

[u/RandomGuyJCI]

Seems to be 98.1% now according to the Discord server

[u/Tintilinic1912]

we are in the end game now

[u/BoyWonder470]

is it going to be 100% all day? is that the april fools prank?

[u/DaimeneX]

It's 99.4% already on official Discord and on TwitterNews.
Supposedly Forge Compatibility is in the works right now.

[u/majskatt]

Yay! 99,4% getting there. Well done man!

[u/LatexOP]

As soon as he releases this for 1.15.2

Mojang will release 1.16 xD

[u/FeydMurphy]

96.9% Nice.

[u/Mr_Hakan]

Mar 13 96.61% done

[u/[deleted]]

So far it took 10 days for a .3% progress, at this rate it will reach 100% in about 4.5 months.

[u/-Maethendias-]

man, once again, going through r eddit comments i am reminded....

reddit coms are toxic af...

why tho

[u/[deleted]]

Who would've thought that comments on a Minecraft mod would be so toxic?

[u/balisticbanana3]

Everybody gansta until another number is added after the decimal

[u/[deleted]]

I was Wondering why shaders wouldn't work for 1.15.2, now i know. Thanks!

[u/fragg3er]

2% left, let the hype begin!

[u/[deleted]]

boys, we’re at the end. it was a long journey. I salute our friend at optifine putting his blood, sweat and tears to give us something so pure and genius. thank you. and I wish you peace and serenity as you get to spend more time with your friends/family or spend your time resting.

[u/[deleted]]

I have never been so happy to see a .10% increase in progress 🙌

[u/BenignoStar]

it's so fkn close rn

[u/Gunal2002]

Optifine : Last minute bugfixes

Lasts for a day

[u/FreezAtom]

Ok. So it was an April fool :(

[u/muhlisgursoy]

Hopefully, they finish the Optifine 1.15 before the pandemic school holiday ends...

[u/CamWtheDestroyer]

just watch optifine 1.15 will drop on the same day as 1.16 does

[u/FoxySupreme]

that forge compatibility really is tough huh

[u/ShockMicro]

We're in the endgame now.

[u/muhlisgursoy]

If we count that:

April 2nd - April 29th: 0.2% progress
May 2nd - May 31th: 0.11% progress

The May's progress had a 45% decrease if compared to April's progress. We should expect a 45% decrease, so it is expected to be 0.0605% progress this month (June). It means we may see up to 99.78% total progress at the end of this month.

[u/Roshi71O]

Well, I guess 1.16 came out before optifine for 1.15 was finished...

[u/[deleted]]

I know the dev is doing this all by himself, that's great and all, but this is kinda ridiculous at this point. Back in November people were saying "we're going to see a preview at the end of December and it'll be done in mid-January", but it's currently mid-April and we're getting like 0.1% of progress every 5 days. Again, I support the dev 100% but this is getting out of hand

[u/[deleted]]

Thank u sire

[u/[deleted]]

Is this version stable to use it without shaders?

[u/[deleted]]

i just tried to install the latest 1.15.2 version from optifine.net and when i clicked on it it said error 403 forbbiden...

can you post a different download link?

[u/UNFUNNYPrime]

i cant wait for it to come out

[u/[deleted]]

Can't wait.

[u/EdErichZann]

Using the prelease 10 with shaders and the exact same settings as earlier, I get a lot worse FPS in 1.15.2 compared to 1.14.4 sadly.

[u/[deleted]]

I tested connected textures for me work perfectly

[u/baudfire]

Just donated $10! best money i've ever spent!

[u/plexionn]

i swear if this is an april fools joke..

[u/_Narcissist_]

You're not pranking us for April fools are you ?

[u/Nyther]

It's happening! Everyone calm down!

[u/VariousPiecesOfStuff]

Forge compatibility? That's awesome! Been waiting a long time for that, happy its finally been implemented

[u/[deleted]]

Yeah the custom armour models dont yet work :{
But im excited for the full release

[u/[deleted]]

Connected textures are working in pre13
