Download prismlauncher and select a pack that comes with it or has it as an optional mod. IIRC vanilla+ includes optifine.
Or just add a Vanilla instance with Forge and and throw Optifine in mods
That used to only work for mods that come without an installer and optifine used to not come without one. Did any of that change?
You can directly download Optifine as a mod, and is the only mod that I know even has an installer, so yeah that changed
Do you have a .var/app directory?
If so, welcome to Flatpak. Your "real" .minecraft directory will likely be somewhere under there.
(but honestly no idea why you'd go with optifine considering the better ones that exist nowadays)
the resourcepack features that are still not paralleled by fabric/quilt or forge mods
Most of them are!
Connected textures - Continuity
Custom Item Textures- CIT Resewn
Entity Texture Features - ETF
Entity Model Features - EMF
Animations - Animatica
GUIs - OptiGUI
Skyboxes - FabricSkyboxes
Connected grass - LambdaBetterGrass
Dynamic Lighting - LambDynamicLights
Various Optifine settings - SodiumExtra
Anything I'm missing? I might have a more complete list tomorrow, as I'm on my phone right now.
