Optifine 1.12 and 1.11.2 is one of the most commonly recognized mods amongst the Minecraft community–and for good reasons. Widely regarded as one of the few mods that revolutionized the way Minecraft is played, Optifine has added a multitude of features that smooths performance, enhances graphics, and allows hardware to better process the game’s textures.
But that’s simply Optifine in general. This particular mod enhances Optifine for 1.12 builds of Minecraft. Optifine HD focuses on making the game more aesthetically pleasing while giving a considerable boost to performance speed. Many players who use this build of Optifine will notice a significant increase in framerate. While a noticeable spike in framerate is a common feature, Optifine HD provides many other features as well. In conjunction to processing performance, this mod also provides support for HD textures. Some notable examples are HD fonts, animated terrain and item textures, customs colors, custom palettes, and custom lighting. This mod also allows for more variable render distance, ranging from tiny to extreme. Some sky textures are visible in short render distances, a feature not commonly available in vanilla. This mod also adds mipmaps support, making it so objects at a distance have an easier time rendering and therefore look better than compared to a vanilla experience. Optifine HD also adds support for simpler visual features, including fog control, better grass, better snow, and clearer water textures. Sometimes the simplest improvements are the most noticeable, and this mod is a testament to that concept.
On the more technical side, Optifine HD mod adds advanced features for those who are extremely familiar with the more complicated side of visual effects. Anisotropic filtering is one such example, providing support for mipmapped features within the game. Antialiasing is also provided, which often adds smoothness for some of the rougher, more pixelated textures seen in-game. V-Sync is provided as well, increasing the average processing performance by adjusting framerate to better match the refresh rate of the player’s monitor. Support for Advanced OpenGL is added as well, a feature most noticed by players adept in advanced graphical features. In Layman’s terms, OpenGL adjusts the in-game artifacts, creating either a better visual experience or a better processing performance. With Optifine HD, the player can adjust how the game loads chunks. For strong processors, a player can adjust chunks to load at an incredible distance so that moving from one point in the game to another feels more like an open experience rather than a string of loading up sections to the game. For those with less powerful computers, chunks can be preloaded. This often allows certain chunks to not be loaded, making it so the game will not waste resources on loading an area that will not be explored. What good is loading up parts of a game that aren’t used, anyway?
Finally, Optifine allows for an incredible amount of graphical configuration. Certain animations, such as fire, water, lava, explosions, particles, and many other animations can be disabled to further increase processing performance. By default, these features are enabled. If you are looking for a mod to increase the graphical aspects of Minecraft, or you simply want the game to run faster, Optifine HD is definitely worth checking out.

You do realize just cause 1.9 is out doesn’t mean this will be updated right away. They need to work on it you know? To check for bugs and stuff. It will never be a quick process.
Olivia
you do realize that is is out at the moemtn and that comment was 3 weeks ago
Erin
You do realize that just cause a comment might be late, you still have to acknowledge the meaning and mote of it. Don’t disregard it as such of a fly. You are being rude.

Hey xDJ_DEVIL93x, ever tried coding your own mod? I bet you could MAYBE make it say “hi” if you press F, but this isn’t something done in a day. They are working on it.
Dum
Who cares how long it takes? Why advertise 1.9 if it isn’t available? If it’s going to take a couple of weeks, says ‘It’s going to take a while’, but don’t tell us that you have already done so.
jroan
press “F” to pay respects

Why can’t I install Optifine anymore (or Forge for that matter)?
The installer keeps telling me it can’t find the launcher and that I should try to manually start MC first.
Upto 1.9.3 I had no problems at all, but ever since I haven’t been able to use Optifine anymore. Anybody got a fix?

Shaders do not work for the 1.7.10 version but they do work for all the other versions of the mod. Kinda impossible to use shaders without this mod because the other shaders mod does not have all of the options this one does. Hope you fix it soon.
