How To Install Forge & Optifine

Forge makes modding a lot easier and will sometimes save you if you’re struggling to change everything in your game. If you are going to pair it with OptiFine , then you will want to make sure you have the latest version of Forge that you can download at http://files.minecraftforge.net/. Once you’ve installed it, you’ll want to download a specific version of OptiFine.

How-To Install Shaders

Once you have Forge & OptiFine installed, all you will need to do is download the zip file of the shader from list Best Minecraft Shaders bellow and drop it in your shaders folder. Into the game -> Options -> Video Settings -> Shaders. You’ll find a button called “Shaders Folder” which will open up the area you’ll need to drop the files into. Do not unzip the file you download, that is not required!

It has a much more practical feel about it, where the light isn’t too harsh and dazzling. It gives a nice overall look to the game, especially if you want a more realistic feel with some nice lighting and shadows.
