How To Install OptiFine For Minecraft Java Edition
Optifine is a really awesome mod for Minecraft. It speeds things up and gives you the ability to run HD shaders. This install is pretty simple. If you’re a NT user I think it’s just a double click. On Linux you have to run the jar file manually to install the mod.
- First run Minecraft Launcher and download the correct build. In this example I’m using Minecraft 1.16.5.
- Next go to OptiFine’s website and download the correct jar for your build.
- Open a terminal and navigate to your download folder.
- Run “java -jar OptiFine_1.16.5_HD_U_G8.jar”
- Choose the install option.
The hard part is over. Next we need shaders. I found a ton on Minecraft Shader’s website. A couple to name would be Sildur’s, BSL, and Vanilla. Launch the new build in Minecraft Launcher and you’re ready to go.
Enjoy!
