Mojang during the deal: no we dont want everyone to have a cape Mojang during migration: lets give everyone capes

If it wouldn't be for Optifine, I would only be able to play Minecraft with seconds per frame, not the other way around

Optifine is quite literally a must-have, due to how it makes Java run easier by lessening how much resources Minecraft consumes. From removing multiple checks and balances, and improving the ancient code of Minecraft.

I mostly use Optifine for Shaders at this point since I have a good Graphics Card now, but it was really nice to have back then

Love how Mojang supposedly didn’t like Optifine’s zoom feature, yet they added a spyglass into the game…

I still remember as a kid making a glow stone portal and putting the water bucket in the middle only for it not to work and I was so sad 😭

ive used optifine for so long, i cant remember how the base game feels. probably a good thing tho

Actually, a lot of modpack tries to avoid Optifine because of it's notorious incompatibility

I had the idea of doing this video myself, great video! Thank you for covering this story.

Optifine just feels like it's always meant to be there, that's why people forget about it even being there because it does so well

im really used to watch speedruning content, and let me tell you, your channel is one of the best content creators of the community.

Thanks to you, I only use Sodium Iris and a zoom mod I remember optifine on 12.2 running with more then 80-100fps only. After that version it only got around 50fps. Thanks to Sodium and Iris I can play latest version with more then 300 FPS that's awesome!

nowdays, in the modding community, Optifine is often the cause of breakdowns, incompatibles, and many more stuff that makes optifine not viable at all. while it was great back in the hayday, it still broke down somewhat- it was never a big one. until 1.16 happened. nowdays optifine possible breaks ore generation, fluid rendering, some multipart scripts that reuses vanila code, rendering stuff, and much more. While it is a good mod to use, and especially Shaders still have no other option(other than Iris, which is fabric only), its not your go to choice for optimization, unlike 1.12 or back. Optifine slightly nukes the stuff you dont see often(like edges of the render distance that you normally dont care) in order to get more fps. Sodium, and its series, Lithium, Phosphor does this way better, without the render distance stuff. All optimization mods are certified to break mods that are tad bit different from vanila, which is what performance mods go after. That is great. But nowdays optifine's brokenness have gone iut of control for modders, not to mention better alternatives that dont nuke the game much as optifine. if you're not using optifine for shaders, there isnt much incentive to run optifine- for shaders, sure. there wasnt an alternative, especially in the forge modding scene to replace those shaders. but in modding fashion, optifine is not the bible you go for like the olden days. more of a relic of an past, that couldnt keep up properly.

Im here since 20k man nice to see your YouTube channel grow

7:38 Gave me whiplash like nothing else lmao. Literally a flood of 2012/2013 Mitch and the bois

Recently I've discovered the amazing combination of: Sodium and Entity Culling. No lag what so ever, not even in the busiest world, with villager farms and colossal storage systems. Works like a charm in my old 4core i5, constant 150 fps... in. any. situation. And to finish: you can swap Sodium for IRIS (cause it's already built in). Amazing performance. Plus, Sodium fixes the atrocious native smooth lighting bugs.

I said this before, I want a video about minecraft modding - not just most famous mods. Mod developers, drama, platforms, modloaders, etc. And I used almost every popular mod, since I'm a modded player

Nice vid bro! Fun fact: at 4:22 when you said "so" i got a mobile ad and i thought it was funny

Optifine is a very polished mod and a must have mod when playing minecraft cause the performance change that it makes is huge
