Optifine and reddit rant
I love using Optifine. I use it a LOT. And I mean a LOT
But since starting recording and using youtube, I also have a handful of mods I wanna use to make recordings better. Namely replaymod (the big one), boosted brightness (can be handy) and sometimes litematica (building)
1.19.3 I was able to use Optifabric to get Optifine working alongside the few mods I used, and it was great! Love being able to get the best of both worlds!
Come the next optifabric update, optifabric is now incompatible with replaymod. As it wasfor the next update. And 1.20. And 1.20.1. And so on. The mod I use the most is incompatible
So I start scouring the internet. Looking to see if anyone has a solution, has figured out a way to fix the incompatibility
And all I see??? Is reddit threads where people's only response is
"Optifine sucks lol stop using it and use sodium"
No help anywhere. Just the same "optifine is ass" "if you're still using optifine in 2023 you need to get with the times" "just use sodium *link to optifine alternatives*"
Now I have a number of problems with this attitude
The people making these original reddit posts are asking for help with optifine. They wanna use Optifine. They do not want to be told to use A DIFFERENT MOD. If I'm asking how I can get apples, I don't want you telling me to just get oranges, okay????
To get the same functionality that you have in Optifine. YOU HAVE SO INSTALL SO MANY GOSH DARN FREAKING MODS!!! Like seriously at least like 15 to get the same functionality you'd get from installing ONE thing
In the same vein of the mod thing, people's attitudes about it SUCKS because they act like this is an easy solution and "just get alternative mods lol". Hey hey you wanna know something fun? If I want to update Optifine to 1.20.2 from 1.20.1, I have to install one thing. It's great! If I want to update sodium with optifine alternatives? I HAVE TO REINSTALL LIKE 15 DIFFERENT MODS. PER UPDATE.
Now, I know what you're gonna say, "Random it's only once per update its not that much of a hassle" it really is??? Like it's irrtating for one, and for two if I wanna use MULTIPLE instances of minecraft? Oh gosh forbid I wanna do that and I have to juggle 3 sets of the 15 mods around in my mod folder
I literally have like 4 seperate "Unused mods" folders in my unused mod folder, and even with this seperation its STILL really confusing to move mods in and out and is a freaking hassle and a halve
Of course I'd still have to move things out with using optifabric, but I'll take having to move 2 files (Optifine and optifabric) in and out over FIFTEEN
Its literally EVERY comment I see on these threads is "Just don't use optifine lol" like as if its the easy win win solution that is less hassle or some crap. And it isn't!!!
Not to mention, I don't WANT to use sodium! I don't care if its "better", I don't like the interface, I hate having like 15 mods in my mod folder, and I LIKE OPTIFINE. Call me freaking old fashioned if you want I don't care, the freaking attitude of "just dont" is so infuriated when I'm tryna research if ANYONE has a solution
If you see one of those posts and wanna comment "just dont use optifine" seriously do not. It helps nobody. And your alternative frankly sucks butt and is way more inconvinient. If you don't have an actual solution to the problem people are having, DONT COMMENT your "solutions"

🎶✨when u get this, list 5 songs u like to listen to and publish them. then, send this ask to some of your favorite followers (positivity is cool)🎶✨
(Hi Jay!!! It's been a while :3. I'm 16 now and on a quest to play the Xillia(s)~ As you can see, a certain soft medical school boi has quickly worked his way into my heart. I love Jude so much holy HECK he truly is just a lil guy 🥺)
5 songs ohboy.. in no specific order rn i'm gonna go with:
一花一劍 (One Flower, One Sword) by Li Xingyi — which is the,, sub theme song?? for the tgcf donghua slkdfjkld i continue to have many emotions over it AND the official video for it bc ue
白夜 ~True Light~by Shunishi Miyamoto — DN Angel opening! I actually watched the anime when I was a kid bc of this song lskdfjsk
忘羨 (WangXian) from the MDZS Audio Drama — this one is probably self-explanatory.. I think abt my silly little gays very frequently
Ball of Yarn by Cranbersher — one of my favorite lil instrumentals from this guy, made for bg music when he made a stop-motion puppet of Yarny from Unravel (gently pushes his channel toward you he makes so much cool stop-motion and Cranbersher's Guide to Stop-Motion is both interesting and may or may not become a plot-driven narrative with a highly-anticipated finale financed on kickstarter (of which i am a backer slkfdjldfj) to be released tentatively sometime next year :3)
Light Your Sword from Sword Art Online — sao unfortunately has a banger soundtrack and imma be real there's so many medleys reprises and remixes so i have no idea what the original version might be?? for this one bc Luminous Sword sounds similar (obviously) and I'm 90% there's a few more that have the same kinda thing going on so
ohh that took me a hot minute lskfjlsk anyway
(HI PAVV happy birthday!!! i thought it was this month but i wasn’t sure.. also i consistently forget you and my sister are the same age like she is maybe a week older than you?? wild how that happens. And yes!!! I've seen you creeping into Xillia on my dash :D!! Jude truly is just a lil guy I'm glad you like him <3)
