First, and I always get a black screen! Please help! I have: Vista Home Premium And 32 Bit ram, Which one should I download?
In your minecraft did you delete a file called meta-inf delete that to work
did you delete meta-inf if yes then you must have downloaded the wrong version of optifine
i had to reformat my comp to factory settings to fix this mod
same, it gives a black screen for the 1.4.6 pre release
Same thing here, it gives a black screen, i’m on the 1.4.6 Pre-Release.
Note: OptiFine HD 1.4.7 B4 version is released. Links updated.
If you get a blackscreen, update MineCraft, go back into the Minecraft archive,and delete META-INF
OptiFine HD 1.4.7 D5 version has been released/updated.
what should i do if i cant find my minecraft.jar i have 1.5 and there is no ” minecraft.jar ” file please help
Well minecraft.jar is also named as Minecraft
I can’t get Optifine to work since the 1.5 update. I have started completely fresh, no mods (Now I have SPC), I have forge/forge modloader, and yes I have deleted the META-INF every time I have tried to install Optifine, I even tried leaving it in there once and that didn’t work. I’ve tried older versions of Optifine, no help. I have tried putting the Optifine zip into the mods folder, (it didn’t give me black screen but is obviously not working). I have a Windows 7 Professional 64bit, and it doesn’t work for me. Any advice?
I’m in 1.5.1, i installed Optifine and its work, but i don’t have connected textures ..
i notice that there’s a new folder in the Optifine file, “cmt”, and into it there’re the connected texture’s textures …
errm… iv got winRAR open.. but what the heck is JAR? and this META-INF file? i cant find either of them anywhere?
jar does not apper when in minecraft folders. META-INF is a file in minecraft.jar
who to make a spawner
works perfect on 1.5.1
Thank you so much it worked this is the first time i’ve gotten it to work.
I Can’t install it, I’m on 1.5.2 and I do what need to make it works, but I get black screen.
which is better? ultra or standard?
I did all the instructions BUT well um nothing-nothing AT all-worked
I did it, then when I launched minecraft it doesn’t say “Opifine” in the lower left corner.
You have a falsehood, it is NOT compatible with forge. MCPatcher wont let me use both at once.
It doesn’t need a Mod Patcher (e.g: Forge, Modloader and etc)
It works or maybe a mod and optifine had same class and overwrited the other one…
What does B5, or D3, or all that mean? I’ve never seen it explained what the difference between, say, D2 and C4 is. Maybe I’m being stupid, but it would be nice if somebody, somewhere, said what those letter+number things stand for. I’ve searched everywhere, but I can’t find a single person saying what those letter/number codes mean. How is it (apparently) so obvious to everyone else what they mean? What am I missing?
D2, B5, D3 etc. are semi-version upgrades. They are not compatibility updates but they bring features such as Anti-aliasing, mipmaps, texture improvements etc.
For me, it doesn’t download as a .zip file. And second, I can’t put it in Magic Loader if it isn’t a .zip file.
HHHHEEEEEEELLLLLPPPPPP MMMMMEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
You have 2 problems..
The first one, I think your Winrar/Winzip is outdated or it’s expired
Second, Your lazy to extract it to a zip/rar file…
It drops black screen But i’m deleted the Meta.inf folder Please help me!
I found the minecraft.jar file, but cannot locate a mod folder. Do I need to create one?
i cant
well, it worked for me
