Minecraft OptiFine

OptiFine is a Minecraft mod, designed to improve frame rates (FPS) and thus guarantee a “softer” and sharper view. In addition, the graphics settings are generally refined by the mod, which makes it exceedingly popular among Minecraft players.

Short overview for OptiFine

  • Optimization mod for Minecraft: graphics, FPS and shaders.
  • In addition, faster gameplay and smoother gameplay
  • Installation via launcher or forge

What can OptiFine do?

The OptiFine mod primarily improves the appearance of the Minecraft world. Say, it affects the frame rate/frames per second (FPS) and increases the possibilities to improve the graphics. In addition, it includes a shader mod and you can zoom in (usually the C key).

Shaders make the game look much more realistic and creates, for example, depth, better lighting or the waving of grass in the wind.

Furthermore, OptiFine manages to make Minecraft run much better. This concerns not only speed, but also “fluid” play and processing.

Install OptiFine

In principle, the standard version from 1.2.5 is the same everywhere and is also used in unison for the following versions. Everything before 1.2.5 is a bit older and much more complex. Also, because until before 1.2.5 OptiFine is still composed of many smaller mods and there was no unified merge.
