How To Download Optifine 1.12 Mac Or Windows
I am playing on mac. I can download Optifine on the latest version, but when I press 'Open with: Java' It says I need a JDK. None of my friends needed to do this, and the site it tells me to go to (Oracle) does not work. I can click on the download button, but it just won't do anything. OptiFine 1.16.3,1.15.2,1.14.4,1.12.2 is an additional mod that supports HD textures and lots of options for better looks and FPS performance in your Minecraft world. Download OptiFine. In order to install the OptiFine mod on your Windows or Mac computer, you'll need to download the OptiFine JAR file: Go to https://optif.
So you guys with Macs feel forever alone because everyone uses windows and you don't know how to install Optifine and such. But I know how! Follow this guide and you'll be a coding genius (Not really)
Step 1- Install The Unarchiver and the latest version of Optifine. (Both free applications)
Step 2- Open Finder and find your Minecraft folder. Go to bin.
Step 3- Find your Minecraft.jar file. It should have the java coffee thing there. Compress it into a .zip file (RIght click and then find 'Compress file' in dropdown box.)
After this you should have minecraft.jar.zip. Move this to your desktop.
Step 4- Open it by Right-clicking the file then opening it with The Unarchiver. You should end up with a folder.
Step 5- Right click the file yet again and click 'get info', then under name and extensions, name the file minecraft.jar. This is very relevant because the Mac needs to see this file as the thing with all the game operating things.
Step 6- After downloading Optifine, you should have a folder. Open it and copy every item there. Paste it into the minecraft.jar folder. Replace all.
Step 7- Move the minecraft.jar FOLDER into your bin, and move the jar version to your desktop and compress it into a .zip file again in case you need a backup.
Step 8- After you are all set and whatnot, close your finder and everything and run Minecraft.
***NOTICE- YOUR MINECRAFT MAY CRASH A FEW TIMES UPON THIS BEING THE FIRST TIME YOU RUN OPTIFINE. THIS IS COMPLETELY NATURAL.***
