Prerequisites

With Minecraft having a limited native resolution, here’s what you can do with OptiFine.

• Increase the frame rate per second (FPS), add shader packs and customize the game’s texture, lighting and animation effects.
• Illuminate objects with light-emitting objects held in hand and dropped.
• Makes gameplay smoother by synchronizing the frame rate with the monitor refresh rate via VSync.
• Improve the appearance of distant objects by softening texture details via mipmaps.
• Smooth jagged lines and sharp color transitions with anti-aliasing.
• Gives a more authentic look to blocks by incorporating rotated and flipped variations of the base block’s texture.
• Configure animations like water, flames, smoke, rain, fire and more.
• Avoid the famous Lag Spike of Death by configuring the autosave interval. This lag occurs when “ticks per second” delays build up, causing the game to freeze, crash, or save corruptly.
