Step 1: Downloading and Installing the Forge API 1.16.5

Thirdly, make sure that the Forge loads correctly, then close the Minecraft. If you want to see whether the Forge is loading or not, you can see it on the bottom left of the Minecraft menu. There, you will see “Minecraft Forge XX.XX.XX”. Just close your Minecraft app if the Forge is already loaded correctly.

Title: “How to Install OptiFine Mods 1.17.1 Along With Forge?”
*shows 1.11.2 in the screenshots* How in God’s name, does that correlate? The answer is, it doesn’t.

Old tutorial

When I put the OptiFine file in the mods folder, and I start Minecraft using the Forge profile, I get an error saying that OptiFine isn’t supported. Because of this, it doesn’t work. Does someone know how to solve this?

I’ve a solution. You must have installed the same Version of Forge like Optifine and just put the .jar file from Optifine (the downloaded file) in the Mods folder. I know your question is 2 years ago, but maybe you still need it 🙂

Its been awhile, bur what do you mean by this, do I need an older version of optifine

I’ve used the newest version of Optifine and Forge. Both were 1.16.5. I haven’t tried it with 1.17

Ahhh okay, I will try 1.16.5 then as it won’t work for me, thank you

This turned out great! Thanks. I was wondering how to do this but now it works! I can finally make something like realistic minecraft without TLauncher! YAY! 😃 But I didn’t need the Profile Launcher.

it will not work. please help

What exactly did not work?

Yours will not look exactly like the third picture (the one of the menu) at that stage.

Do not download Optifine from the link on this page, it will not do anything. Google search Optifine and click the first link, it will take you to the official page with the .jar file that you can place in the mods directory.

I already installed optifine before forge, and its not working. Can anyone help me?

Its forge before optifine not optifine before forge.
