Optifine won't install on Linux Cinnamon (feddit.dk)
submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/minecraft

I'm trying to install Optifine on a Linux Mint Cinnamon laptop. Minecraft Java edition of course.

The game works and has been launched in version 1.20.1, but the Optifine installer keeps saying that I need run version 1.20.1 first.

Also, the installer is already pointing at the correct directory as default, but when I browse the location from the installer, I can't see or set the .minecraft directory manually.

What to do?

Download prismlauncher and select a pack that comes with it or has it as an optional mod. IIRC vanilla+ includes optifine.

Or just add a Vanilla instance with Forge and and throw Optifine in mods

That used to only work for mods that come without an installer and optifine used to not come without one. Did any of that change?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

You can directly download Optifine as a mod, and is the only mod that I know even has an installer, so yeah that changed

Do you have a .var/app directory?

If so, welcome to Flatpak. Your "real" .minecraft directory will likely be somewhere under there.

(but honestly no idea why you'd go with optifine considering the better ones that exist nowadays)

the resourcepack features that are still not paralleled by fabric/quilt or forge mods

Most of them are!

Anything I'm missing? I might have a more complete list tomorrow, as I'm on my phone right now.
