NOTE 2: When you press C, you can zoom in! Pretty cool, right?įor this guide, the process is the same for any shader, but today we are using the BSL shader pack.

NOTE 1: None of your saves will be transferred to the OptiFine version. Click the installation that says ‘-OptiFine_HD_U_G7’ or something like that. Then, click on the Version drop-down window. Name it anything, but always remember, this is your OptiFine download. Once you have done this, open the Minecraft launcher, and go to the Installations tab. Click Install, then wait, and then when it is done, click Close. Once this is done, you will need to install OptiFine. When it says it is installed, click the Close button. Save it in your Downloads folder, and then open the installer. To install OptiFine, you will need a program called Java. If your browser warns you that this file might be dangerous, click keep, unless it does not have the word ‘OptiFine’ in the file name. Click this, and save it in your downloads folder. When you click ‘Skip’ you will be taken to a page with ‘Download’ in the center. If you don’t like my advice and want to click on the ad, well, you were warned.

When this does happen, all you will have to do is delete the 1.16 version of OptiFine and replace it with the 1.17 version. If you want to use snapshots, well, you won’t be be to use shaders or OptiFine until the release of 1.17 and the corresponding release of OptiFine. You will then want the version of OptiFine that matches your version of Minecraft (latest release: 1.16.5). To buy Minecraft ($35 AUD), go to to buy it.įirst, go to the OptiFine downloads page ( ). If you don’t have Minecraft Java, you will not be able to use OptiFine or BSL shaders. If you don’t have a great PC, then you will have to do some tweaking of the shaders settings to make it work well.

Note that shaders are very taxing on the FPS and GPU. I hope this guide was helpful in advance. This guide is for Windows 10, not Mac, so just a heads up. I have been wanting shaders and a better look for a while now, so I thought I would bring some info along, as I have finally found out how to do it. Recently, I bought Minecraft Java Edition.
