I do use optifine, I just use mcpatcher to install mods so I don't have to go through the mess that is using 7zip.

Yeesh, 7-Zip?

I actually use Minecrafter to install my mods. It works great for my purposes.

Oh god I fell like crap to do this but... please update!

MC Patcher has a really smooth interface for easily adding/removing mods. I use MC patcher to INSTALL optifine, and anything else I want to try out. Makes it very easy to remove stuff without having to worry about manual backups.

or you could use MagicLauncher, which essentially does the same thing with the installing mods, however it is more in depth and gives you more choices and easier mod enabling/disabling and it requires no .jar editing if you list the mods in the correct order

STOP ASKING HIM TO UPDATE, it will be updated when it's updated.

Please keep up the awesome work, this is seriously one of the best mods I've ever come across.

Manually installing optifine is 5 times easier than the magic launcher or MCpatcher, just use WinRAR and add all the .class files to the archive, and whamo insta-install.

I've heard people talking about the magic launcher. Does it work with Mcpatcher?

it does pretty much the same thing, however you do need like optifine for the texture packs, and it allows you to "install" (enable or disable what mods you want with the click of a checkbox without any .jar file editting) (some mods require .jar editting but most work through magic launcher) in my opinion magic launcher is much better than mcpatcher

drugs are bad m'kay

Manually
1 - Download and install either 7-zip or WinRAR.
2 - Either learn the OS-level shortcut commands to get to your application data folder (such as %APPDATA% for windows), or go into your folder options and set it to view the proper folders (hidden folders for Windows, "dotfile" folders for Linux). For recent versions of OSX you'll need to go unhide your library folder with a command in the terminal since it's hidden by default now and from what I've seen from OSX users, it gets re-hidden with system updates so you'll need to unhide it multiple times.
3 - Navigate to find minecraft's main .JAR file in the binary folder now that you can actually get there.
4 - Either set the association of .JAR files to open with your archive program of choice, set up associations to let you right-click and "open with" quickly, or open the main file managing view of 7-zip or WinRAR and then browse to the location of the main minecraft.jar and open it.
5 - Open the mod in either 7-zip or WinRAR, or extract it somewhere to get the .class files.
6 - Copy the .class files into the opened minecraft.jar, overwriting the ones that are there. This is often easiest to do by dragging the .class files into the window with minecraft.jar itself.


Magic Launcher
1 - Download Magic Launcher.
2 - Run it.
3 - Click "Setup".
4 - "Add" a mod by pointing to to the .zip file.
5 - "OK".

There's no competition. For the average user, Magic Launcher is multiple times faster and easier, with many more options to boot (such as custom profiles of mod sets).

Are you still running 1.2.3?

Have you used MC Patcher in the past?

First, yes, I'm still running 1.2.3. I'm not updating (except to get on my favourite server) until at least my main mods are updated, which they aren't yet.

Secondly, yes I have. However, I did exactly what the main post told me to do if I've used it before and wanted Randomobs via MCP (which I did) and I followed the directions to a T. Deleted what I was suppose to, I unpatched it to a vanilla jar file, everything. Everything else works--as far as I can tell, anyway. Just the TP doesn't. I'm trying to use 64x Sphax, if that makes a difference at all.

EDIT: I've noticed that the textures for certain things (mainly the logs on the jungle trees) have different textures than they should. They were white streaked blocks that looked like wool, and then they looked like metal mesh. In the terrain.png, however, the texture is as it should be. I don't know if this has anything to do with OptiFine or not, but it's worth a shot

I tried Magic Launcher and didn't find all mods to work on it as opposed to Mc patcher which i never had problems with. I also was never able to add memory through the magic launcher kept getting error not enought memory even if i have 8 gig of ram. Mc Patcher requires no jar changing if you install all mods through it aswell it creates a copy and you can easily unpatch.

The F3 menu is actually the debug screen and it's really for the Mojang devs, not the players. The pie chart shows how much time it's spending in various parts of the game processing, which is useful when debugging issues with one part taking more time than it should.

I'd say the line chart is enough for the consumers. At least its all I need. And of course the text and number info.
But I hate that pie chart. I wish SHIFT + F3 would turn ON the chart for those who need it.

I haven't had the RAM issue, but note that Magic Launcher does not patch the actual JAR file. It loads a copy into RAM and then patches that when you launch the game, so you always have a clean .JAR file which makes adding and removing multiple mods very simple, and you can keep multiple mod configurations without having to do multiple copies of the JAR yourself.

You have to wait.

Well I see you have a bunch of mods. Your best bet is to remove the extra mods and start re-installing them until you find the one that crashes the game.

I'll try that, thanks. If that doesn't work, then I'll just post again I suppose Hope it works, thanks!

This mod alows me to play mc. I love it and it will do till I get my new pc. I hate to complain and I know you are trying its just it helps soo many people. Keep up the great work and I hope one day jeb adds this to the default game or some sort of idea of that.

*slowly taps foot in anticipation*

Can't wait to see how much of an improvement optifine brings, it was doubling my performance before. The 1.2.4 update actually greatly improved performance all by itself for me.
