I was recently attempting to open and install the Optifine .jar file for Java edition 1.14, and it failed every time. But it was doing something that I haven't seen anywhere online. Here's what's happening:
I double click the Optifine .jar file (or, left click the file and select open with Java Platform SE binary), then a terminal opens for a split second, and disappears
Or, an empty terminal appears, then disappears when I attempt to interact with it.
Solutions I have tried to no avail:
The .Bat method
Uninstalling and reinstalling Java
Uninstalling and reinstalling the newest version of Java
Uninstalling and Reinstalling Optifine
The same exact same problem happened after all of these fixes.
It should be noted that the same thing happens when I try to open any .jar file.
Any help with how to fix this issue is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Search for "command prompt" in your start menu. Once you start up a Command Prompt window, use the "cd" command to navigate to the folder which contains the Optifine installer .jar file that you downloaded. Here's a tutorial if you don't already know how to use it:
Once you reach the folder containing the .jar file, type in "java -jar [name of Optifine file, replacing any spaces with underscores].jar", without the quotes, of course. That should manually start up the installer.
