If you love Minecraft but wish the graphics were a little better, and more up to date, then you’re in luck. Optifine is a free mod that is available will help to do just that. With the smoothness and various graphic improvements that it brings, Optifine should be the next mod you download for the game.
There are several, simple ways to install this mod. If you want the most out of the mod, you will want the Ultra edition that not only adds support for HD textures and helps the game to run faster, it also supports antialiasing, multiple processors and anisotropic filtering. Allows you not only to see the blocks better, they also appear in-game faster, reducing lag, making the game more responsive.
An additional element that is brought with the Optifine mod is the fog. The fog makes the maps appear more mysterious, which will appeal to some players. On the downside, the water becomes transparent with the mod and allows you to see the bottom of the water. For some players, that is not necessarily a bad thing, but for others, it takes away from the adventure aspect somewhat.
You can also activate and deactivate options, such as turning on and off portal animations and changing the cloud height. Whether you use the .JAR installer, or the Minecraft Forge, installing OptiFine is easy and well worth the time it takes to download it, bringing your Minecraft experience a bit more up to date.
Improve the graphics on one of the most downloaded games ever.
