This is my first time downloading optifine since I just got my computer recently. The game runs around 40 fps or so. So can anybody tell me how to download it correctly?
First, this is in the wrong section. It should be in the 'Mod Discussion' section. But, because you asked it nicely, here is how it goes:
1: Get either WinRAR or 7-Zip to open zipped folders.
2: Download and open the OptiFine mod by right-clicking the .zip file and selecting "Open with..." and selecting either WinRAR or 7-Zip, if it's not as default yet.
3: This step is Windows version dependent: Windows XP:
Click 'Start', click 'Run' and type '%appdata%' (without the quotation marks), and hit 'Enter'. Windows 7:
Click 'Start' and type '%appdata%' (without the quotation marks), and hit 'Enter'. Windows 8:
Open up your Charm bar by holding your cursor in the right up- or down corner and clicking the magnifying glass. Now type '%appdata%' (without the quotation marks), and hit 'Enter'.
4: When you are in your Roaming folder by typing '%appdata%', go into your '.minecraft' folder, and then go into your 'versions' folder. You will be presented with (at least) the 1.6.2 folder.
5: Copy the 1.6.2 folder and rename it to something easy to remember. I would go for 'OF-1.6.2' without the quotation marks (OF = OptiFine).
6: Rename the .json and .jar file to the folder's name (in this case, OF-1.6.2).
7: Right-click your .json file and click 'Open with...' and then 'Default program'. Now select 'Notepad' or, if you have it installed, 'Notepad++' (recommended).
8: When you oppened that up, go to the first line and you will see 'id: "1.6.2" '. Change that to your folder's name (in this case, name it id: "OF-1.6.2").
9: Open up your .jar folder with either WinRAR or 7-Zip.
10: Drag all the content from the OptiFine.zip into your OF-1.6.2.jar and close it.
11: Open up your launcher and hit 'Edit Profile'. You will be presented with a lot of options, but you are looking for the version. Open the dropdown and select 'release OF-1.6.2' and hit 'Save Profile'.
12: You're ready to play! Hit the big 'Play' button and have fun.
OMG IT IS NOT WORKING! IM SO CONFUSED! >:(I got the 1.6.2 file downloaded but now what do I do When I try to open it with other stuff it just shows the app store thingy
OKAY IT DOESN'T WORK I DID EVERYTHING RIGHT! IT DOESN'T SAY 1.6.2 OPTIFINE ON THGE MINECRAFT LAUNCHER!I ALSO COPIED AND PASTED THE .MINECRAFT FILE IN MY USER'S FILE SINCE I TRIED OPENING IT WITH NOTEPAD AND DIDN'T SEE IT IN MY USERS!
