AdoptOpenJDK (Get the JRE Installer)
IMPORTANT: Make sure your Minecraft launcher is closed before proceeding. This will save you a LOT of hassle!
- Download and install Java.
- Since Oracle now requires an account to download Java, we recommend using AdoptOpenJDK.
- Download OptiFine and open it with Java.
- If the file shows as a zip archive, or the installer simply won't open, try using Jarfix.
- Ensure the install directory points to your
.minecraftfolder before clicking "Install" - You're done! You should now see a new "OptiFine" profile/installation in the official Minecraft launcher.
This is a reminder that there are only TWO real websites to download OptiFine from, and that is https://optifine.net and https://optifined.net.
There are many websites that attempt to copy the OptiFine website design, or otherwise just plainly redistribute OptiFine illegally. Their downloads may be packaged with malware, adware, trojans, and many other bad things. Be aware of what sites you're visiting, and always try to check and scan your downloads before using them. Note that all versions of OptiFine are packaged as JAR files, not as EXE. If you download OptiFine and it comes as an EXE, DO NOT RUN IT.
Stay safe, everyone. https://stopmodreposts.org/
