I tried double clicking the .jar file but it didn't work, I have Java and all that installed and a cmd window pops open for a second but nothing else happens. anyone know why this is happening and how to fix it?

Maybe I'm just dumb as all bloody heck, but I simply can't get Optifine+Forge installation to work on 1.18.1
Can someone please offer me the absolute 'for dummies' guide? For the current files?
I've tried every method listed, and I've been trying for literally three hours now and absolutely nothing seems to be working, not even with magic launcher - I don't HAVE an Optifine ZIP so I tried adding the JAR but it doesn't work.
Most recent method I've tried is the complex installation method, it says to;
Copy the files from the OptiFine ZIP file to "Forge9.10.X.Y.jar" as usual (you can use the 1.5.2 instructions for this) and remove the META-INF folder from "Forge9.10.X.Y.jar".
But I don't have a ZIP, so I thought perhaps it wants the files from inside the JAR, but what does AS USUAL mean? Which files? Just the base directory files? Or all the files AND folders? I've never used Optifine, and the 1.5.2 instructions that are here don't seem to say anything about this?

I don't know what guide you're using, but that sounds like it's at least 8 years outdated.
In MC 1.18.1 installing Forge like normal and then placing the Optifine jar in the `.minecraft/mods/` folder like you would any normal Forge mod seemed to work fine for me.

Thank you for Optifine, I've been using it for 6-8 years and it's always worked perfectly!
