    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.

    • @nicocchi
      @nicocchi 2 года назад +79

      Not so much a must-have anymore, Sodium is kicking its ass. Optifine has a shitton of options, and every resource pack with custom-anything-not-supported-by-vanilla is made with Optifine/MCPatcher's formats in mind, so it will not be truly obsolete until fabric mods pop up for said features and people port their stuffs… but if you're going to stay pretty vanilla in terms of visuals, Sodium completely obliterates Optifine when it comes to actually optimizing the game. It runs so much better and if you don't care about extra visual options that the game itself doesn't provide, Optifine ISN'T the must have anymore, Sodium is.
      With that said, Sodium is a pretty recent mod and won't be ported in an official capacity to 1.15 and below so Optifine ends up being the only real option for retro versions.
      But going forward, this is a really good thing because there's finally real competition for game optimization mod, and that will drive eachother to improve. Or at the very least, the bare minimum, you have options depending on whether you want a prettier sky or a higher FPS count

      @@sampound9091 This is quite a complicated thing to explain, but here goes.
      OptiFine just replaces some algorithms. That's cool, although it's been improving frames less and breaking stuff more recently.
      You see, Minecraft (until recently) has been using OpenGL 2.0. This is quite an old standard and doesn't reflect how modern graphics cards work, causing most things being slow with it.
      Sodium has an entirely new rendering engine, which uses OpenGL 3.2. This allows it to use your graphics card more effectively. For example, let's say you broke some blocks and have 10,000 particles on screen. The old implementation needs to give the graphics card each particle and then tell it to draw it, one-by-one. The new engine can instead tell your graphics card "here's data for 10,000 particles, now draw them please". As you might imagine, this is WAY faster.
      This is really oversimplified, but it carries the gist of it.
      (Minecraft is now also using OpenGL 3.2, but they haven't gotten around to doing too much optimization with it yet)

I have compared vanilla with optifine on 1.16.5, 1.12.2 and 1.7.2 and for all of them Optifine gives a predictable ~20 % increase in FPS. You're just talking trash about Optifine because of the whole Sodium hype thing, which is mostly overrated. The fact that Sodium often seems to vastly outperform Optifine mostly has to do with people not having a clue how to set up Optifine nor their hardware correctly. In my own tests, they were pretty equal, with Optifine performing a little better, with less varying FPS and a lot less chunk rendering lag.

    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.

      fabric has the advantage of being much lighter since it doesnt have too many built in libraries, this is fine so long as you dont want large modpacks but rather pointless with big modpacks since it just means you manually have to add in all of those libraries (for example there's no oreDictionary, which automatically fixes incompatibilities between mods that add the same ores)

    Probably the most impactful mod no one has heard about is cubed chunks. It turned chunks into 16x16x16 chunks which minecraft later put into the game (way back in beta before they increased world height) in a lesser form under the hood which drastically improved chunk load times. Cube chunks was still better for smoother loading on lower end systems but minecrafts 16x16x64 ended up being more optimal for all hardware which is what allowed for the increase in world height to 256 the change improved chunk loading so much.

    If nobody's tried it yet and runs a low-mod Minecraft install, try Iris. Iris can over-double your FPS, but it's Fabric only so doesn't work with full Forge installs. Bonus, it supports almost all Optifine shaderpacks -- you need a separate mod for connected textures and a further separate mod for dynamic lighting which can be finicky (and needs not only Fabric, but Fabric API too), but even with all that I run with shaders at the same speed on Iris I run with Optifine with no shaders -- with no shaders it's fully doubled over Optifine with no shaders.
