You could've written in the OP that your mod also gives you a weird camera mode when pressing C. It's conflicting with other mods and I had to reinstall all my mods one by one to figure out what was doing it. Also, you should really give us an option to disable it (or just remove it from OptiFine and make another mod for it). It has nothing to do with making Minecraft faster.
It does say that. Read the version info carefully. If you don't want to use zoom, just go to the controls and rebind it to a key you never use.
I'm using Optifine G_MT2 now, and the invisible and flickering blocks are gone now. Performance on this version is on par with the previous MT version, meaning that chunk updates are very fast, but the game is only playable on view distances of Farview Short or less. After that, lag makes it impossible. Still, this is an acceptable limitation.
One thing that's been bothering me with Farview enabled is how the fog reacts to shadows. I had the same issue with the extreme view distance mod: Whenever you step into shadow (indoors, or simply under a tree) the fog on the horizon becomes much darker. This shift in brightness corresponds with the view distance; on Tiny it becomes nearly black when you're indoors, Short makes it gray, and on Normal it's barely noticable any more. However, the Farview setting doesn't take this into account, so on Farview Short the fog becomes much darker than it should be. Could you fix this in a future version?
I tried both releases of Optifine Mulithreaded G and Smooth G. MT_G still has the problem with chunks flickering and turning invisible, but is otherwise functioning well. When I tried G_S, I noticed that chunk loading and day/night lighting updates was suddenly incredibly slow, but on the upside, the framerate was smooth and stable in the range of 30-40, even when switching to Farview Normal distance. On other MT versions this made playing impossible because of the lag, but that might be because the chunks are loading much faster in that version.
Also, the zoom function works excellently, and I really like it. The only problem is, when you leave it bound to C, it still zooms in when you're in a server chat window, which can get really annoying. I suggest having it bound to Tab by default, which I have now.
Hello, I keep getting a glitch. When I made the block, it worked, i've triple checked the coding on everything but when I gather dirt and I place it into the crafting square nothing comes up. Then when i remove it it gives me 16 of the superblock. It also doesnt take away from the dirt. Help?
I think you made a mistake in your crafting recipe. When there are blank quotes in a crafting recipe, like "#", "" then the game will treat it like a blank recipe. Every blank crafting space gives you the superblock. Make sure the crafting recipe has no blanks and a correct shape.
I ran some tests with different versions of Optifine. I have an Intel quad-core i5 and a Geforce GTS 450. I measured FPS, chunk loading speed and responsivity while standing at a lookout point near the height limit of the map. Nearly all optifine settings are turned to the highest possible, and Farview is enabled.
Optifine MTL_F:
Short: 32 FPS at 0 chunk updates. Good responsivity, comfortable playing
Normal:
15 FPS at 90 chunk updates. Reasonable responsivity, not comfortable playing
10 FPS at 0 chunk updates. Poor responsivity, unplayable
Optifine F:
Short: 31 FPS at 0 chunk updates. Good responsivity
Normal:
20 FPS at 60 chunk updates. Reasonable responsivity, not comfortable playing
16 FPS at 0 chunk updates. Poor responsivity, unplayable
Optifine MT_E:
Short: 30 FPS at 0 chunk updates. Good responsivity, much faster chunk loading
Normal: 17 FPS at 0 chunk updates. Poor responsivity, barely playable, but much faster chunk loading
I noticed that whenever I was waiting for the world on Farview Normal to finish loading, the FPS and chunk updates would stabilize after everything in the field of view was visible. MTL_F stabilized at 6 chunk updates per frame, F at 3 chunk updates per frame, and MT_E at 10 chunk updates per frame. I'm not sure, but it felt like responsiveness on all versions got substantially worse after the chunk updates had reached zero. At F I nearly had to kill Minecraft in task manager because it was responding too slow to be able to quit.
For me, MT_E is definitely the superior version. There is not a big difference in FPS between versions but chunk loading is extremely fast compared to the other ones.
Thank you for trying to help, but setting up MCP made no sense, I found nothing on my "My Computer" that said properties , next time please refrain from saying this will be an efficient tutorial when the first 2 steps alone are inpassable.
Did you remember to right-click it? Properties is at the bottom of the list.
I could tell you to refrain from asking for help when you fail basic reading skills alone, but that would be a bit mean.
Altso, It gives me error when I add my block to US-lang thingy...

Well, of course, if there is nothing in reobf, startclient.bat won't work. Make sure you have moved a default bin and resources folder, and a minecraftserver.jar, into the jars folder, then run decompile.bat.
the download links send me to ad.fly, then to a download page, then i click download and get sent to another download page without anything happen :S the only download buttons then send me to crappy ads....
Don't press the 'Premium Download', on Filecopter, but wait for the Download button under 'Free' to show up. That gets you the Optifine download.
This is pretty useful as a starting point. I just edited a lot of the crafting recipes to make more sense and be more efficient. I think I can make some new blocks as well, like sandstone stairs. Thanks for the guide!
Edit: Recompiling gives me exactly 100 errors. Isn't that great. I won't assume you know exactly what I did wrong, but can you tell me what to look out for when changing crafting recipes?
Hey, is that possible to add an anti aliasing option?
That would be awesome!
If you have an NVidia video card, follow these instructions. It works together with Optifine as long as you disable Mipmapping. I'm using it right now, and it's so pretty! It especially helps mitigate the noise you get with high-res textures when moving around. Beware, though, it might eat too much of your FPS if you turn it up too high.

Then how is layzmon even installing Optifine?

It only affects client-side processing as far as I know, and multiplayer servers have no involvement in this. So yes, it works.

It would help if we knew what you're trying to do. Go to block.java, line 615 and see if there is anything out of the ordinary.

Read the error message carefully. You forgot to put a semicolon somewhere.
