“Now that you’ve downloaded Optifine, it’s time to give it some love. Right-click on the installer and select ‘Open with’. Be sure to choose the Java option, or else you might summon a herd of zombie pigs. Trust us, you don’t want that.”

“After the magical incantation of ‘Install’ is complete, head over to the Minecraft launcher. Look to the left of the Play button for a little menu showing your current game version. Click the arrow, select Optifine, and voila! You’re ready to rock and roll!”

Downloading Shaders
