First i installed optifine, it is a fast install and made a new profile
Next i installed LiteLoader, selected optifine as the profile to use it with (it did say possibly incompatible) then tried launching it it didnt work and crashed straight away.
I have also attempted putting the liteloader and minimap files in the optifine folder and vice versa. I cannot get both to work together.
Thank you for your help, it turns out i was being an idiot and trying to install optifine 1.8.1 with liteloader 1.8. Once i installed the 1.8.0 version of optifine it worked with lite loader.
