yeah, and hes not explaining the prerequisites like what optifine and multimc is in detail like some other youtubers, like if we searched for this we already know what what we're trying to do is! we just want to know how to use it
This helped so much!!! Thank you! I was recording a video with my friends and I needed optifine on the newest release at a moment's notice, and true to the claim, this tutorial literally took like 5 minutes to install optifine. You earned a sub here!
Hi, I did everything correctly in this video but Optifine is still not working. Nothing happens if I press "c" and there is no "shaders" in video settings. In main title it does say (modded) at the down left corner, but that's about it.
@@TechBookTutorials It's different yet apparently safer software I heard about on Reddit, comparing the two is pretty much 1:1 in terms of UI and settings. It's... Basically the exact same thing lol
Still works great OCT 2024! You just need to make sure you run your regular launcher and load into the corrisponding version of minecraft yoiu are trying to load. Then extract optifine and follow from there.
You said you need Java to open the optimize installer, but you need to download it to run Minecraft with MultiMC. Also, by default, it will launch with OptiFine once you add it to Minecraft in MultiMC. If you want to disable OptiFine, you can uncheck it from the same tab that you added the JAR file to.
Whenever i try to extract OptiFine, i get the error "Cannot find Minecraft 1.17.1 You must download and start Minecraft 1.17.1 once in the official launcher." Any help?
Thankyou much appreciated...did have an issue so i did what it told me...open up minecraft without multi, opti the extracted the file where i asked it to then carried on from there with the rest of the tutorial...thankyou once again...
I gave a thumbs up because this sort of tells me what I needed to know, but doesn't directly state what I was trying to figure out. Anyone watching this, even without MultiMC, you need to know if you are installing OptiFine alone in vanilla or to an existing modpack. For vanilla Minecraft, it's as simple as using the "install" button shown in this video when he double clicks the downloaded Optifine to install as a "jar mod" to the vanilla launcher, but it's done differently, as shown here, to get it into MultiMC. As a side note, the downloaded file is already a compiled .jar that's set up to run it's installer if double clicked but also works as a standalone jar mod OR a drop in Forge mod (at least since OF for MC 1.4.7), so double clicking it to "extract" just makes a copy of itself. With MultiMC edit an instance, go to Version, "Add to Minecraft.jar" and point to the same file you downloaded to make it run as a standalone "jar mod" for vanilla or really old versions, but a modpack with Forge mods can run Optifine as another Forge mod, just add the download in the "Loader mods" tab like you would any other Forge mod.
Great concise video but for some reason extracting optifine doesn't work for me while giving me the message of "Cannot Find Minecraft 1.20.1" even tho i have had that mc version downloaded in multi mc already.
this might be if you've only used multi mc instead of the official launcher, iirc the way it works is that you need to run minecraft at least once on the version you need optifine on, but the issue is that it looks for the official .minecraft version instead of the multi mc instance, regardless it appears 1.20.1 is not working with it anyway
I installed MultiMC on an external hard drive, so all of my Minecraft files are stored there, without an official launcher. I set the folder for the Optifine to "G:\MCPrgm\MultiMC\instances\1.7.10\.minecraft" but it still cannot detect Minecraft itself. How can I solve this?
This is a really good tutorial, but it's not working for me. It doesn't give me any error or something, but when I start it up, it's the same as vanilla Minecraft except it says modded in the bottem left corner of the menu. I've tried completely deleting and redownloading Minecraft and optifine multiple times, and it still doesn't work. Anyone have any tips? Edit: I fixed it. I just gave up and imported an instance that already had optifine.
My game crashes when i do it this way. I'm using a modpack and when i get to world gen, the game crashes. i'm using 1.12.2 both minecraft and optifine, i don't know what happens
Doesn't work for 1.21 Also, sucks that we have to use the official launcher to get the minecraft.jar.. I'm using MultiMC because the official launcher is broken. Windows blocked the launcher, so I tried a fresh install, and it won't install from the MS store anymore. Is there a reason why the .jar from MultiMC -> libraries -> com -> mojang -> minecraft won't work?
how do you install optifine 1.6.4? it makes a new minecraft jarfiule in versions of the official launcher, when i take that and try to add it as a jarmod nothing happens. i don't understand, that should be optifine?
Whenever I try to use this and forge it crashes when I try to launch MC. If I disable forged optifine works and if I disable optifine forge works but they don't work togheter. Anyone know a fix?
I cant log into MultiMC. I linked my Microsoft account already. Is there a way around the log in? Every time I try it says "Invalid Username and/or Password" -_-

This is absolutely how you do a tutorial.. clear and concise, appreciated it!
yes
yeah, and hes not explaining the prerequisites like what optifine and multimc is in detail like some other youtubers, like if we searched for this we already know what what we're trying to do is! we just want to know how to use it
and most other youtubers also show you how to install jre and multimc first@@proximitea
real, but its dont work
This is how you do a tutorial! No dumb intros or 7 minutes explaining what your about to do, just straight to the point and very easy to follow
PERFECT! What a wasted hour I spent fiddling around on Reddit trying to see what to do with my extracted folder. Thank you very much!
This no longer works on the newest version
how do you do it now?
dude thank you so much, i spent the last two days trying to figure this shit out and there's nothing anywhere near as helpful as this.
Just what I needed. Straight and to the point. Thanks!
I absolutely love abridged versions of tutorials that are just way too long. Thanks!
"Cannot find Minecraft 1.16.1"
"You must download and start minecraft 1.16.1 once in the official launcher"
i have??? any help would be appreciated
@@Styrofoam-ee This doesn't seem to work for me, can confirm that I have ran it multiple times and have the correct directory. Exact same error.
You need to have opened it in the official minecraft launcher. Opening it in multimc would not work
@@MoonJumpMania That fucking sucks I'm using MultiMC b/c the official won't fucking run.
You can do it, jusst dont try to save it in the multimc mods file
Still not working for me :(
A short, clear and concise tutorial. Thanks so much!
You forgot to mention you need minecraft installed to be able to extract optifine
@@kingofnorthdakota Are you kidding? Wow, that'll be such a helpful tip if it works
@@kingofnorthdakota ye! it totally works!
@@kingofnorthdakota by the jar you mean vanilla mc jar or the optifine jar?
@@kingofnorthdakota thank you so much!
@@pixelneeryt he means the vanilla jar
it doesn't seem to work on 1.20.2 or .1. Is there a way to fix that?
yea it didnt work for 1.20.1 for me
didnt work, i installed everything and did everything, still i enter the game and i dont find the shaders option
i did everything and it didnt work

Skipped 90% of it, got the point across. Thank you, mate.
this worked for my 1.17 install but in 1.18 it doesn't ?
on the bottom left it says : (modded)
but got no shaders option nor can i zoom
same any solutions?
@@ByczeJaj0 i don't use optifine anymore
Finally! A working tutorial on how to use OptiFine with MultiMC WITHOUT using Forge!!!
It says "Cannot find Minecraft 1.18.1" even though i clicked extract
Close it and try again. Looks like if you click install and it fails to install then you need to completely close it or it won't let you extract.
Just open the corrisponding version oif minecraft in the regular launcher before you try to extract.
Amazing tutorial that doesn't ramble about how optifine works or overcomplicate pressing a button. So helpful! Thank you!
I attempted doing this but when launching game Optifine isn't installed. I did every single step.
Use OptiFabric: th-cam.com/video/dvpEhgyBXiw/w-d-xo.html
this is very helpful, thank you - this is even effective on linux (you just need to mark the file as executable first of course) i was using 1.12.2
linux fella i see
Thank you. Still works the same way in 2021 and Minecraft 1.17.1. A perfect tutorial!
It doesn't tho
Gotta clarify that, you HAVE to have Minecraft Launcher Installed and have a 1.18 (considering if that's your desired version) installed too.
@@champagnejose Yeah that doesn't work either

Just so others know, everything here also applies to PolyMC. Terrific video!
Out of curiosity, What’s PolyMC? I haven’t heard of it
@@TechBookTutorials It's different yet apparently safer software I heard about on Reddit, comparing the two is pretty much 1:1 in terms of UI and settings. It's... Basically the exact same thing lol

Seems that this method doens't work with 1.18 or above. Have you found a solution?
I downloaded OptiFine_1.16.5, it don't let me extract, keep saying "cannot find Minecraft 1.16.5". I googled but nothing helpful.
same here
@@Theotok0s I used this tutorial instead th-cam.com/video/o8Yx7nXcvOI/w-d-xo.html
Optifine 1.20.1 didn't works
same bruh
don't use optifine when u can use sodium
tried to extract jar file into downloads folder but its saying "cant locate 1.16.1"
this was so helpful. all of the other videos I watched on how to do this were long and complicated. THANK YOU
You're welcome!
In Minecraft it says „modified“ but it didn‘t work. I have no idea why. Any ideas?

@@grave8981 thanks. Now i know i need Fabric as well
wait a minute why you write 2022 when the video came out at 2020
they changed the title to 2022 later because it still works in 2022. if it still works in 2023 they might change the title again
Well, I did exactly everything you did in this video for 1.16.1 of Optifabric...and MultiMC failed to launch MC...
this isn't for optifabric its for optifine lol
OMGGGGG i was sitting in multimc for hours YOUR A LIFE SAVER THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUUU
Thank you so much for this tutorial, every single other tutorial was sooooo long-winded and useless, this one was perfect!
It worked for me with multiple versions, but doesn't work with 1.18 pre-release 1
unfortunately not working with 1.18
does not work with the 1.18.2 versions of optifine
W tutorial, worked in 2024
i’ve followed the steps and my multimc crashes each time i try and run it.
this worked with an older version of me trying to get 1.4.7 LOL, thanks bro
It didn't work for me 😭
Doesn't work for 1.20 (yet?)
it doesnt appear to.. video is outdated
Fantastic clear and concise tutorial. No bullshit. This is how every tutorial should be done. Absolute inspiration.
I always like to comment on tutorials that do an exceptionally good job, absolute hero!
Whenever i try to extract OptiFine, i get the error "Cannot find Minecraft 1.17.1 You must download and start Minecraft 1.17.1 once in the official launcher." Any help?
Update: i just installed the actual launcher and minecraft and extracted it.
Found this on google but decided to go to TH-cam to leave a like. Thank you for the help!
does this work if you are loading up a modpack instead of vanilla?
OMG TYSMMM IVE BEEN TRYING FOR A WHOLE DAY DUDE STRAIGHT TO THE POINT TYSMMM
dude thanks, spent whole hour trying to do this
This should be the first result when you google how to install optifine with multiMC. Great tutorial!
Please update for 1.18. This method seems to not be working.
I did like the tutorial said but it doesn't work. The game launches but doesn't have OptiFine features
Use OptiFabric: th-cam.com/video/dvpEhgyBXiw/w-d-xo.html

What a legend, thanks man. Great video. Subbed.
I tried to do it but when it won't launch into optifine, it says something fails then it just goes into forge instead
Are you stupid? You can't use forge and optifine at the same time, i thought that was pretty clear.
You are a life saver, thank you soo much! It's not even that complicated and yet the instructions I've read just made it harder than it has to be
No problem!
