The Wonders of Optifine

What is Optifine?

Optifine is a mod for minecraft that is aimed at making the game more effiecent when it comes to the amount of CPU and GPU power that it takes to render the game. In other words, it makes your game run faster and look better. On it's forum page, it's said to generally almost double the FPS for anyone, for me it brought them from 20-30 up to 50-70, and it makes the game sooooooo much better. Whoever made this mod needs serious props, and I would recommend this to any one who has a older model computer that can't keep up or just wants to squeeze more FPS out of minecraft.

Installing

The mod is included in several mod packs, like technic but the mod can be installed solo with vanilla minecraft. Download the file from the forum page and follow the instructions (on here or the fourm).

• Open the archive with 7zip (or whatever)
• Open the minecraft.jar file in your %appdata%\.minecraft (I think haven't used windows in a while) 
• Copy the contents on the optifine.zip into the minecraft.jar file
• DELETE the folder named "META-INF" in the minecraft.jar file

Then just launch the game as normal and when you press F3 button in game there should be a optifine version number in the upper left hand corner.

Download 1.3.2 with optifine installed

Some people just don't like to do any work, it's a fact of life, for those people I have made a vanilla 1.3.2 minecraft+optifine file that you can download, copy, paste and run!
