That's because there's isn't one answer, there's many many different setting for everyone's computer. No one person has the same exact setup.

I myself use optimine, and optifog, but I get only like 2-5 FPS when using 16x16 textures, so I have to use MCPatcher, and 32x32 or bigger textures for minecraft to actually work. Strange, yes. But it works. I get about 60+FPS with Optimine+Optifog+MCPatcher and DokuCraft 32x32.

Ok, then what do each of the settings do, so I can figure something that will work real well.

I'm having a little trouble using this mod, I've installed a fresh copy of minecraft and installed this mod and I don't seem to be getting any extra options in the video settings menu. The OP lists a bunch of options that aren't showing and at one point it says to read the readme.txt file which I can't seem to find in the zip. Using version 1.6.5A the game runs fine but I don't think the mod is working because I don't notice any difference and the options aren't there. Any help would be appreciated, I think I'm just missing something.

Oh and I did delete the META-INF folder...

Mine just hangs and say "Updating Minecraft" then showing a "Done Loading" but the status bar never moves to the end and therefore never make me launch a singleplayer map..

Does anybody know what i'm doing wrong... i'm kind of a newb at this kind of thing..

I'm running it on a MacBook Pro 13" 2,26 Ghz Core2Duo, 4Gb Ram and nVidia GeForce 9400m..

with out Optimine i'm running an avg. of 25FPS.
With optimine on minecraft 1.5 i was running at like 58 to 75 fps

Very good performance. Just updated to 1.6.5 as I learned not to update straight away since I rely on optimine to make minecraft playable on my laptop, and when I updated from 1.4 to 1.5, optimine wasn't updated straight away, so I couldn't really play MC for several days.
Although I just ran 1.6.5 vanilla before backing up minecraft and installing this mod, and I have to say it was pretty playable even without optimine (17fps average inside a tree (planetoids map) and my laptop always has framerate issues when I look at tree leaves, even on fast graphics).
Now that I've installed optimine, I'm getting those vital extra few frames per second (now averaging 19-20fps) to make minecraft smooth.
I installed version 1.6.5 A. I'll be back if there are any problems.
I'm running MC on a Dell Insprion 1525. 3GB RAM, 2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, Intel 965 chipset graphics card. I play on tiny/short fog with minimum settings and use gamebooster. And yes, I am getting a desktop soon so I can play MC 'properly'.

Optimine hasn't any configurable options, OptiFog does, which isn't yet relased.

I'm asking again, what OpenGL verison do I need to set fancy fog in OptiFog? (HD4850)

Dude thanks for answering me on that, I appreciate it, it's kinda funny because I just noticed all posts about options were after the 1.5_01 header, but it's nice to know for sure. Thanks again man

[Ttwiitter]

Please update OptiFog to 1.6 ?

[Kamil]

Please change the title to indicate that Optimine is 1.6.5 compatible, I almost missed it.

[eddiefivespeed]

So do i download A or classic? what's the diff.?  i didn't really understand the description on the first page.

[Ooryll]

Thank you for updating this. You sir just boosted my game by 30 FPS, and I appreciate it.

[cSc]

I really have to ask, i've heard quite a bit of negative reviews about Optifog, and Optimine really has given me a decent FPS boost. Ive got a Radeon x1200, which bottlenecks quite a bit, so my question is, will Optifog be good or bad for this card? (And much praise for updating it to 1.6.5)

Are you using any other mods? And did you install Optimine last?

Simmer down bud. He will let us know when he updates. I'm going out on a limb here, but I doubt that this is all he has on his plate.

Optimine is not the point of this forum. His project is OptiFog. I'm pretty sure the only reason Optimine is here is because people keep whining about it. Honestly, I'm not entirely convinced it's worth continuing. Especially when comparing Optimine to OptiFog.

[Justin17]

Kinda confused. What do I download exactly...?

[sp614x]

For all the people wondering:

- Updated to 1.6.5 is only Optimine, because it is much smaller and easier to update. Version 1.6.5 is the classic of Scaevolus, version 1.6.5_A has some additional optimizations and should be a bit better.
- OptiFog is halfway done and should probably be ready today

One of the reasons for the slight delay were some problems with MCP. The guys at MCP did a wonderful job again and responded very fast.
In the meantime, go read the blog, click some adfly links ;-) and be patient.

I did a clean install of minecraft and just installed optimine.

Setting the render distance smaller usually speeds it up, having AOGL on too, and ofcourse fast graphics instead of fancy...

Did you pull out the .minecraft folder then let the game re-download? If you did then I'm afraid I'm stumped. Sorry friend.

It's just that I went back and read your description of your problem again, and it sounds like a problem I'd have when screwing around with mods. If I wanted to get Minecraft to reinstall itself I would delete the .jar or another piece of the game, and the version file. But doing that would inevitably cause minecraft to hang on the load screen.

To reliably get Minecraft to do a "clean" install I now pull the .minecraft folder onto the desktop, and then run minecraft.exe. After its downloaded I then transfer my saves and delete the .minecraft folder.

OptiFog 1.6.5

Download, test, report bugs and generally have fun. The merged version will Optimine will follow shortly.
One thing to have in mind is that Minecraft 1.6.5 is somewhat slower than 1.5_01.
