Custom Animations
Minecraft 1.5 and above supports animations for blocks and items (info). OptiFine additionally enables the animation of all other textures.

To create a custom animation for any texture in the game create a ".properties" file in the anim/ folder of your texture pack. In it, supply the source and destination texture, along with coordinates of the area you wish to animate. The following example animates the first painting in kz.png.

from=/anim/mypainting.png
to=/art/kz.png
x=0
y=0
w=16
h=16

- "from" is the location of the custom animation.
- "to" is the texture you wish to animate.
- "x, y, w, h" are the coordinates of the rectangular area of the destination texture.

The source texture should be a vertical strip of separate frames. The width of the source texture should be equal to the value of "w". If not, it will be scaled automatically. You can have many different animations applied to the same texture by creating separate properties files for each. The properties file can also contain tile order and speed information as described above.

Each custom animation may specify its animation speed and frame order.

tile.X=Y
duration.X=Z

X starts at 0 and represents the order you want frames to display in. Y in the tile number in the animation .png file. The first tile is 0, the second is 1, etc. Z is the duration you want that frame displayed, in game ticks (if omitted, duration is assumed to be 1 for that frame). For example, to make an animation with 3 tiles, run on a 5-frame animation with a pause in the middle, the .properties file might look like this:

tile.0=0
tile.1=1
tile.2=2
duration.2=5
tile.3=1
tile.4=0

With OptiFine, this is what my (FeedTheBeast) marble wall looks like. It's flat. You can hardly see where the torches are, because all of the wall has the same brightness.

When I disable OptiFine and load everything else identically, this is what that same wall looks like. There's depth and character to it because of the broader range of brightness in the lighting.

How do I get the best of the OptiFine configurations and FPS boost without losing the broad range of brightnesses in my lighting that for whatever reason OptiFine reduces and flattens?

Thanks for reading,

Optifine IS compatible with Forge, I've been using both of them as well as other mods on MC 1.6.2 for a while now.

It's compatible with all versions for what I know.

I think he means optifine as a coremod, so that instead of using an installer or manually overwriting files in the jar, you just put a zip file in a folder in the coremods folder. As he said, "like other mods", which usually aren't jar overwrites but just get put into a folder.
