Thanks. I am on the Windows 10 version. So my son who has 1.16.50 on his iPad can't use optifine either?

I am guessing that there is another way of adding textures to these versions then??

Thanks TileEntity. Appreciate the help.

I can't get OptiFine HD to open its installer. Every time I try, the file just gets unzipped. Necessary details: MacOS Catalina. I tried the Magic Launcher method, but Magic Launcher does not have a new enough version for Minecraft 1.16.3 and when I tried anyway MacOS responded with "“MagicLauncher.app” needs to be updated". I am not sure what to do. I would rather not try Forge because I have done it before and after a year of use eventually broke the entire .jar file. Luckily, I was able get the Minecraft folder out before deleting and reinstalling, so no worlds lost.

My only guess would be that I do not have Java installed. The Java Version of Minecraft does not need Java installed as it has its own Virtual Java.

Try it with Technic Launcher: https://www.technicpack.net/download

And search for an Optifine modpack

I had performance issues in Hypixel and other servers when using 1.8.9 optifine, random frametime spikes and the screen would freeze up for split seconds at a time. My framerate is high so the stuttering was unusual. I managed to fix it doing the most simple thing that you wouldn't think would fix it..

Question : Does anyone here who uses 1.8.9 optifine get random stuttering / screen freezes / lag, when on a server, even though your framerate is high? When on a server, check to see if these tall white spikes appear on the Lagometer, you can't miss them, they stand out.

To open the Lagometer, in game hold Alt and press F3. Now watch players as they spawn into the game. If you see these spikes :

Try this :

1) Open video settings

2) Toggle Smooth lighting Level from 100% to 0%, wait a couple of seconds then switch back to 100%.

3) Or, If the smooth lighting level is already 0%, toggle Smooth lighting Level from 0% to 100%, wait a couple of seconds then switch back to 0%.

After doing the above, check Lagometer again, tall white spikes are gone? The game should be much smoother.

You aren't disabling any options, you are simply toggling one option, leaving your own settings intact. This simple toggle, reloads the shadows (or something like that) and can fix random stuttering for some users. The fix stays applied until you close Minecraft. I found that players spawning onto the map causes the spikes to occur, and turning player visibility to off is an alternative solution to toggling smooth lighting level (although I prefer to keep players visible).

Proof it works -

aye thats it, Thanks a lot mate. Worked

I seem to be having trouble with optifine, whenever i try to craft birch logs into birch planks the game crashes. Disabling optifine fixes this. My crash report: https://pastebin.com/ysRe6UdB

Test it with Forge 1.16.4 build 35.0.1 or without fastbench

Thanks so much, disabling fastbench fixed it. I'll make sure to post any other issues I have on github. As it turns out i was using an outdated version of fastworkbench
