Desktop PC is pretty new and freshly installed (WIN64), Updatet, Java new and updated. .jar files are read (no jarfix necessary).
Although fully compliant with tons of descriptions and tutorials I fail in installing optifine (want to install shader, SEUS or BSI).
My process
Start MC and load version (1.17, 1.16.5, tried several)
close MC
Install downloaded optinife .jar file, of course of the same version (e.g. 1.16.5.)
Reports says successfully installed
Start launcher
BUT YET: All are describing that with next start you see optifine in the start window in the left corner below. But I don't. Also when I checkbox 'mods'.
CAN anyone help please / have any idea? maybe there is any precondition that I have to checkbox in the overall settings of MC???
After installing forge I cannot see in the launcher any profile (I assume you mean in the starting window the dropdown menue left below the big screen or in instalations).
- Which version to put into mod folder , the downloaded jar file?
- where is mod folder, dont see any in appdata. do i have to create one here: C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....we are getting closer. So I see now forge in picklist left below the window in the starting window. Do I still have to look up in 'versions'?? I see play-installations-skins-patch notes, here in installations I picked forge.
And now downloading my preferred shader, putting as zip in the mod file and thats it?
Last question: I formerly changed RAM assigned to JAVA to 8GB. is this 'overwritten'? I somehow meant to see that optifine counted up to 2GB but I could give up to 8 so where I can do that.
Hi
I am failing to install optifine.
Desktop PC is pretty new and freshly installed (WIN64), Updatet, Java new and updated. .jar files are read (no jarfix necessary).
Although fully compliant with tons of descriptions and tutorials I fail in installing optifine (want to install shader, SEUS or BSI).

Thanks!!!!!!
Start your Launcher and go to "Installations"
Create a new Profile
At versions, search for Optifine and use this one
Save it and test it again
If it is not working, try to load Optifine though Forge
Optifine 1.16.5 HD U G8 requires Forge 36.1.0
https://files.minecraftforge.net/net/minecraftforge/forge/
Install Forge and start your Launcher - there should be already a Forge profile - start this one and close it in main menu
Put the Optifine HD U G8 into your mods-folder and start the forge profile again
Thanks,
yet, apparently still no success.
After installing forge I cannot see in the launcher any profile (I assume you mean in the starting window the dropdown menue left below the big screen or in instalations).
- Which version to put into mod folder , the downloaded jar file?
- where is mod folder, dont see any in appdata. do i have to create one here: C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft
This folder will create after a succesful forge run
Yes, the OptiFine_1.16.5_HD_U_G8.jar
At Installation, after clicking on "New", click on Version and scroll through the entire version list and search for Forge
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....we are getting closer. So I see now forge in picklist left below the window in the starting window. Do I still have to look up in 'versions'?? I see play-installations-skins-patch notes, here in installations I picked forge.
And now downloading my preferred shader, putting as zip in the mod file and thats it?
Put the zip files into /shaderpacks/
cannot find -
do I just have to make it up here on this level
C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\shaderpacks\
we are so close I think
I put in the folder as I described above. I get the following error message
get following (error?) message
"warning while loading mods...1 warning has occured during loading...file forge 1.16.5.xxxxxxxetc.jar is not a valid mod file.
shader not yet visible in video settings
Did you put the optifine.jar into the mods-folder?
Add the latest.log with paste.ubuntu.com
you hit the nail on it's head.... *.jar was missing in mods.
WE MANAGED it!!!!!
Thank you sooo much!!!!
Last question: I formerly changed RAM assigned to JAVA to 8GB. is this 'overwritten'? I somehow meant to see that optifine counted up to 2GB but I could give up to 8 so where I can do that.
I am so happy
You can change the RAM in your Launcher profile
