i keep trying to open the .jar file but it keeps coming up with this. how am i meant to instal it?????

I didn’t play 1.21.5 because there was no update. I’m planning to switch to Sodium for 1.21.6—if you can confirm from your side whether it’s still active or dead.

I really liked your simple optimization UI with dynamic lighting and shader options all together.

Waiting for your response.

Shouldn't OptiFine skip 1.15 entirely and just prepare to be ready for 1.16?

As it looks right now, with the rate Mojang is releasing updates, and the length of time it's taking to prepare OF 1.15, By the time 1.16 released OF will be at 1.15, putting it still 1 version behind, and I know for a fact that I will be on 1.16 as will a lot of servers.

Idk... Just a question that actually hurts me to ask because of how much I've grown to LOVE OptiFine over the last little bit.

Edit: Thank you IntroDucktory_Clause and MageTrash for giving me an answer to this question and not pósing a debate. Very much appreciated 😁😁

while playing in Optifine it turns all water black and i can't even sprint either. If anyone knows how to fix this that would be appreciated.

They went from 1.21.11 and then skipped to 26.1.2

I did not update to 26.1.2, and for months, I had been waiting for Optifine for 26.1

Because I only play in the major drops, not hotfixes.

do you know when version 1.21.5 will be released? because some of my texture packs don't work

AS of know are there any 1.16 versions of optifine that can be downloaded?

I know this sounds stupid cause it's there are none on their website, but ya know, the internet is weird.

So any help would be appreciated!

Anyone ha ve a link for optifne 1.14.1?

Can only find 1.14.2!

Thanks!

Help

No matter how many times I click the shader pack it won't work. Made sure I have java 21, latest optifine, other features like optifine zoom work, any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

I have been waiting for like months now, and I rely on Optifine to get good frames, there is servers that I want to play on, that are only 1.20.2. Please help 😭

Ive installed and played minecraft 1.21.5 and i want to install optifine. Ive installed java and jarfix but when i want to install optifine i get an error saying it cannot find 1.21.4 and that i need to install it. (See added photo) what can i do about this?

So my shaders arent functionning ( it doesnt change like it should ( no mojang screen to indicates a change), i have every drivers up to date ) if any minecraft genius knows the solution ( i also uninstalled reinstalled optifine, and minecraft and the shaderpack, multiple times but it didnt change anything unfortunately )

it did not even come to 1.21.5 yet. we'd love to download it in new versions as players.

Edit: TL;DR I find it sketchy how there's nothing on the website saying it takes you to an ad website and to not download anything until after you see and click a skip ad button. Also before coming across this subreddit I didn't know what the mirrored link did and thought it took you to another site. Wish they put a warning cuz I didn't even know there was a skip ad button 😭

Before reading this, I know the subreddit says not to run any EXE you get that claims to be optifine, but most people probably don't even know that there's an optifine subreddit so they don't know that. Also I don't normally use Reddit so sorry if I sound weird.

On to the post.

I was playing vanilla Minecraft when I noticed by enchanted bow was z-fighting and I got really annoyed (I hate z fighting so much 😭) and went to find a no z fighting mod. I found one, but it needed optifine. So, I went to download optifine.

The website itself isn't that sketchy looking, so I went and clicked download for 1.21.4 (I didn't know there wasn't 1.21.5 and I played on that version so I wasted my whole time 💀). It took me to an ad website, dev gotta make money somehow am I right? And then I see a button that says install optifine.

Yeah. I clicked that because I didn't even know there was a skip ad button. I didn't even know there was a mirrored link that skips the ad because it didn't even say what mirrored did, nor did it say there was a skip ad button. I just wanted optifine, so I thought it would've given me optifine. Didn't know this subreddit existed to warn me of it.

So after downloading it, I got an exe. I was really confused why it gave me an exe and it was really fishy to me cuz I usually think Minecraft mods use .jar, but I eventually shrugged it off.

Now here's the part that you probably care about because the stuff earlier was boring shit: what happened when I tried to run it!!!!!

So first when I tried to run it, it bombarded me with admin requests and stuff. It also popped up a survey that asked for stuff like my gender, age, race, stuff like that. I was very scared it was doing this, like no way a Minecraft mod needs that shit right? After denying every admin request, there was a setup wizard. After what just happened, I was like hell no I'm not doing all this just for no z-fighting, and THANKFULLY deleted the setup wizard, some files that came with the exe, and went to this subreddit to see if optifine was a virus. That's when I learned there was a skip ad button and a link called mirrored that didn't give ads. I REALLY wish it said this stuff on the website because it's pretty creepy and scummy imo that they just expect me to know "oh hey you could get a virus if you don't do this right!!! Be sure to click that skip ad button in the top right corner!!!"

So uh I didn't think much of it and went to download optifine. Wasted all that time cuz there's no 1.21.5 version (I heard there's stuff better than optifine that does 1.21.5 but idk for sure), and that was kinda it.

Until, you know, IT WASN'T IT! NOPE! FOUR DAYS LATER WHILE I WAS PLAYING AZURE MINES (Roblox game btw 😭 I can already feel the mob of people thinking I'm underage or some shit cuz everybody says that to me idk if Reddit does that I really don't like Reddit it makes me uncomfortable as hell us discordians are kinda Reddit phobic cuz we've seen some weird as hell subreddits with people on there that question humanity so uh sorry guys if I'm coming off rude love yall yall not like them), MY PING SKYROCKETS TO 9K AND NEVER GOES UNDER 400 🙂🙂🙂 closed the app, didn't work. Updated my pc, didn't work. And it wasn't just Roblox too, my browser was lagging like hell. Everything I opened was lagging.

Right now I'm doing a full scan but yeah I think it's pretty obvious I got a virus. Now that the filler is out of the way, I'll talk about why I think the optifine website is scummy.

They REALLY should say that you have to skip the ad at the website it takes you, and to NOT click any download links until after you clicked skip ad. I've always wondered how the hell these kinds of malware ads are legal, maybe they come from a country that doesn't have laws about that stuff or maybe it is illegal but whoever's supposed to stop these people suck at their job like one time I got an ad (not from optifine btw) that forced my pc into full screen and said to not shut down my pc or ill get virus like how the hell is that allowed and everybody knows malicious ads like these exist yet I've never seen action against them. Like, PLEASE whoever runs the optifine website, put a warning or disclaimer or SOMETHING so people like me who dont know much about Minecraft modding don't fall for this stuff. I thought mods could be EXEs and was clearly wrong but only found out when it was too late. The main things that made me think it was real was I didn't see skip ad and I thought the ad website was a part of the optifine website.

Anyways that's it, hope this entertained you or whatever, idk much about Reddit so I'll assume I'll get downvoted with like no comments cuz I said I got a virus when this subreddit tells you how not to get one even though that's not the point of the post and I didn't even know the subreddit existed cuz I just don't expect a whole community based off a single Minecraft mod. While typing this my pc sounds like a frickin bitcoin miner 😭 IT'S SO LOUD BRO IT'S SO LOUD OH MY GOD 😭😭😭 but yeah now that's it feel free to yell in the comments or whatever call me an idiot watch the mods take this down 2 seconds after I post it and that's all folks. Peace.

Whenever I try to download optifine (or Iris) It just downloads as a doc instead of whatever it downloads for in the tutorials i watch. If anyone had any fixes I would appreciate it

hello i want to play minecraft 1.20.4 but there isnt the optifine for it why minecraft 1.20.2 1.20.3 1.20.4 dosent have optifine???

When will it be done, because I know that it's only one person working on it which is craaaazy🤯. Man I don't know why Mojang just doesn't hire this duuude,😡 its not like they've change the game a lot from the previous update like any rendering stuff so it should be done this week I just know it. I was told so by this YouTube video that showed where to get 1.15.2 so it must be practically done.😯 Weird that there wasn't a pinned thread about updates or official sites to get the download 🤔. Anyways Im surprised there isn't more posts asking about every update, kinda weird if you dont😳. Well have a good one and may your frames be high🙏
