Closed source isn't the issue, the problem is that is compressed/encrypted where decompiler can't even make the source visible. Closed source is fine as long as decompilers work.
@@Speiger Yes but also no, If optifine were open source it would be able to rapidly improve like Iris and Sodium. Giving other devs the ability to report issues and provide fixes is insanely helpful for rapid improvements. And all of this ignoring the fact that its technically illegal to decompile optifine even without compression and encryption.
@@lucidpolygons what are you talking about. You are free to reverse and decompile/disassemble to your hearts content. What you cannot do is use that reversing to violate DMCA (or equivalent) by bypassing License key systems, copying parts of the code in its entirety, or similar. The only thing that could be problematic is if the license or ToS of the program would prohibit you to reverse (which optifine does not have).
@@Cygnus_MC I mean technically it is still a performance mod because it actually optimizes entity rendering a ton even with shaders off; so having sodium + iris is faster than just sodium (when dealing with lots of entities on the screen)
It's not merely a "-dium" naming convention per say. They're named after the alkali metals from the periodic table (Lithium, Sodium, [potassium is missing], rubidium...)
While its main feature is shaders, it is also a performance mod as it optimises entity rendering even when shaders are not being used, so the original script was actually correct and everybody who keeps commenting this should check their facts.
I once died in my hardcore world to an invisible piglin brute. Apparently it was a render bug caused by Optifine. Ever since then, I hate that janky ass mod. Thank god sodium exists now

>Incompatibility with newer mods and especially with Fabric for some reason Fabric barely changes vanilla's game code and heavily relies on mixins. For mixin to work, the place where it tries to patch the code should not be modified by anything else or at worst by other mixin only (so it still can be recognized by loader when trying to apply the mixin). Since OF literally takes and yeets big chunks of vanilla's code, it's more surprising when it manages to work rather than not. Same goes for attempts to try and put server plugins on Fabric btw. Most of plugin loaders also rely on this method of doing things heavily
@@laserslime I never said that plugins are using mixins, I said mods do use them. And afaik Sponge plugins can use mixins since this is where the library originated from
@@laserslime What?? Forge and Fabric also use event system. The problem is you can implement only super basic mods using these events only. You need mixing for complex things. Same with server plugins.
I abandoned optifine in 1.16 when it suddenly became incompatible with some mods. But it is still good to use in 1.12.2 where it's still compatible with almost any mod.
It's sad that there isn't anything equivalent to Syntra connector to run Forge mods on Legacy Fabric (a "backport" of Fabric to older versions of the game, like 1.12.2). Just using LF in place of Forge greatly reduces the slowness of the game.
Something I will add for those who own Optifine capes. There is a mod called "capes" (yes shocking I know..) and it allows you to use your Optifine cape (along with other capes) on both Forge and Fabric. So if you used Optifine specifically for your custom cape. You don't need to anymore. Just get Fabric, Sodium, and the capes mod and you're good.
I use it for the zoom as well. I use zoom an unhealthy amount. 😂 If any of these have support for shaders, the connected textures, and the zoom function i’d be willing to switch
@@colestock9980 there’s a zoom mod, Iris shaders, and I’m pretty sure there’s a way to have connected textures possibly through another mod. I’d have to check.
@colestock9980 just search on modrinth for connected textures. there are 2 or 3 mods that do it well. the fabulously optimized modpack has everything you need as well if you also add the capes mod
@@Firespecialstarforget never had compat with optifine. any compat was done on optifines end. optifine is closed source so working with it is practically impossible
The developer really started struggling by The Flattening. Then 1.14-1.15 saw the beginning of incredibly long wait times for stable Optifine releases. If I can recall correctly by the time 1.16 came out there wasn't even a stable Optifine release for 1.15.2 yet.
OptiFine used to rely on MCP (Minecraft Coders Pack) to decompile the game, which was discontinued after 1.12. As a result, sp614x has to update his own private fork of MCP himself, which can not be redistributed due to the MCP license. This significantly slowed things down
@@ZenithKnight Sodium being released was the final nail in the coffin. It's been a long time Optifine, but times change. We don't hate you, it's just a lot of unfortunate circumstances that all funneled into a deathbed.
The one benefit i think Optifine still has over the modern optimisation mods is that it's an all in one package. A bunch of different optimisations, additions and QOL features put into one single mod. I love Sodium, Iris, ETF etc but it really can be annoying sometimes downloading all of them and i wish the creators of all these mods banded together to create one, unified mod that would finally, truly excel over Optifine
Because maybe you are on a potato PC, and you want just the optimization features. you don't want shaders as you can't even run them, and having that functionality and changes necessary to allow them affects performance. Same with connected textures. Or customized entity models, or giving them Element Animation style.... animations.. I'd prefer they coordinate releases a little better (have had a launcher update Sodium before Iris had support for the newer version before, always fun), but the modularity lets you keep it to just features you need / want.
I agree with this, a lot of resource packs also that need some of these features optifine provides either don't exist for forge or they just don't exist as their own mod at all hopefully with neoforge becoming a thing this will eventually happen but until then, it will have to be waiting an example for this is that I'm using the Faithless resource pack and I had to go in the files and delete some chest things related to optifine because my chests were invisible without optifine another thing I guess is custom colours or custom skyboxes are not yet a thing outside of optifine so I'm really hoping these can come to be at some point also the way optifine handles loading resource packs, I found I had to restart my entire game if I wanted to make changes to resource packs whereas with optifine I can just unload the resource pack and do any changes I want to that specific file
Optifine is so damn incompatible that a mod equivalent was required to make it compatible with the modloader itself in the first place. I mean optifabric anyone?
@@patrlim Optifine is neither, it can run freely with, or without forge. At least, that's how it is on versions 1.12.2 and lower, I'm not sure about newer versions.
Hey! Just want to offer some clarifications, and some additional infomation 1:57 - OptiFine was created and maintained solely by sp614x, there are no additional developers 8:03 - This jump distance is due to a minuscule difference in the result from using sin() and cos() math functions, returning a number that is a 0.00001 off from the intended value in very very specific circumstances, not something that a user would ever reasonably run into. This can also have the opposite side effect, resulting in a shortened distance. Additionally, the difference in terrain general is single blocks in highly specific circumstances (ie swapping a singular stone for a dirt) Regarding update speeds, OptiFine used to rely on MCP (Minecraft Coders Pack) to decompile the game, which was discontinued after 1.12. As a result, sp614x has to update his own private fork of MCP himself, which can not be redistributed due to the MCP license. This significantly slowed things down If anyone has any additional questions, let me know!
@kacperwoch4368 no? I used an example of how it changed stuff to showcase that it does change stuff. I couldve used the corrupting of chunks but this had video evidence.
Sp614x was not exactly the only developer, before OptiFine, there was a popular mod called MCPatcher that allowed for things such as connected textures and more, but then OptiFine swooped in and literally copied most of the files from MCPatcher into OptiFine and stated that "MCPatcher is no longer needed". That is untrue though, because he didn't copy a few of the features. And when I say he copied them, I don't mean he was just like "oh, that's a cool feature! I'm gonna implement that to my mod." I mean he literally copy pasted the files. Search on UA-cam "OptiFines stolen features" there is a video that explains it much better than I can.
@@carlislepoe5966 the only thing that was copied was the documentation on how to use the mcpatcher formats. All of the actual code is completely different
@matthewbarabas3052 open source projects have drastically less bugs and issues in their code compared to even proprietary software made by tech giants by over a factor of 10 if I'm remembering correctly. When you open source a project alot of people use when said people find issues they can easily fix it themselves and share their solution to be implemented for everyone else or at the very least document the issue for someone else to inplement
mojang once asked to integrate optifine into base minecraft, they refused. not to mention the insane amount of time it takes to get optifine ready for the next update, its easy to see why its left in the dust
I'd not describe monoliths as "very unchangeable and robust". Robustness in CS usally refers to the ability of a program to cope with errors. I think you were trying to say that monoliths can be very rigid
My personal favorite Optifine bug was back a few years ago when for multiple months, worlds with modded biomes would corrupt if you ever turned on shaders. Great job, Optifine!
This problem with Optifine breaking large portions of the game isnt just mod incompatibility, its also vanilla. In minecraft maps that rely on heavy datapack tech, we have to actively detect and warn players to not use optifine because it changes how commands work in ways that cause many inconsistent bugs, and we cant develop for optifine and vanilla at the same time.
@@Cygnus_MCyou'd be surprised of how much of a difference sound effects does to a video, it's kinda hard to know how to use in the beginning but it's just like learning to edit, but instead it's learning where to put sound effects properly. It makes the video better + increase video retention Anyway, nice video as always!
a note for the end, if sb really wants his cape he can download the minecraftcapes mod which allows you to have from minecon to optifine and custom capes.
there is a reason i still use optifine sometimes that being that i like quite a few old mods that haven't updated to the newer versions like thaumcraft and mods like sodium aren't available on older versions and as far as i'm aware there aren't any good alternatives for minecraft 1.12.2 (witch is the version with the most older mods i play)
true, optifine is actually a pretty good mod for 1.12.2 and down but after higher versions it sucks since there are so many mods that do port the same functions as optifine and improve them while also making like 99% of them open source
@@FyreofShadow hope it has also some other optifine features since vic's modern warfare mod is really good and idk if rn there are replacements for these features
1.12.2 is the latest version that Optifine is still fine in. I myself use it in that version, but I wouldn't touch it with a 39.5 ft pole in later versions. There are a few mods that break with it on that version, though. There are alternative performance mods like VintageFix on 1.12.2, but as far as I know, it's still your only option for shaders.
it's not that hard to use other mods, just use modrinth launcher and you'll be able to install all of -ium ending mods to your performance kitchen sink modpack
To answer the first question: A lot of these mods ends with -ium because they are named after elements. JellySquid started this trend with Sodium and Lithium, then forks that recreated it mimicked this like Rubidium and Radium. BTW, the reason a lot of elements end with -ium is because it's a suffix for metallic elements. The -ium was so catchy that similar mods to Sodium began being named after it even if they don't have a corresponding element, like Embeddium, Nvidium, so on. Iris is NOT a performance mod and was not made my JellySquid. It simply adds shaders to Sodium, which is why they named their mod after "eyes" instead of the element naming. There are other "elements" mods that don't end with -ium: Phosphor (overshadowed by Starlight), Hydrogen (overshadowed by FerriteCore), and Krypton
starlight is depreciated now because it got merged into the vanilla game in 1.20. I think phosphor is depreciated as well because it was just worse starlight
@@videogamesbecool Yea, it was getting long so I didn’t write that. I did say overshadowed by Starlight tho. In general just use Fabulously Optimized, or fork it and make your own
Um actually, I believe Iris is technically named both after the colourful part of your eye and the Greek goddess of the Rainbow. It's only on the icon they actually reference eyes and that too has a rainbow 🤓
Although its main feature is shaders, Iris IS actually a performance mod as it also optimises entity rendering, even with shaders disabled, most people just aren't aware of that.
*Injecting any code directly into game's files has always been and will always be a terrible option, but it's the unfortunate reality of games that don't support modding.*
I was a die-hard optifine user for the longest time, but once a bunch of mods I regularly use made fabric ports, I tried out Sodium with a few mods like Iris and Nvidium, and I am never willingly going back. Optifine was great in the past, but it's just not up to par anymore.
OptiFine is way more than "a performance mod", it's a development environment. From the Shaders you mentioned to Connected Textures, Custom Item Textures & Entity Models and even to Player Models. OptiFine is a lifestyle.
I didnt realize Create and Optifine are incompatible. We had both in our modpack until recently it would only crash when placing certain blocks (like the energizer) and when making some chipped blocks. As soon as optifine was removed, everything was fine. I saw a substantial increase in FPS and it even loads the game in half the time
i just want to say as someone who sort of sweats skyblock on 1.8, optifine is pretty much the only option and is actually pretty good, as pretty much every single mod works with it.
As of now I still use Optifine for two reasons: 1: I have lots of textures packs that rely on optifine to work. 2: Ive tried Sodium before, and It didnt give me as much performance improvement as Optifine, wether its because I just didnt use other ones aswell or Optifine works better with a mac I dont know. If i can find something that does performance better and does these two qualifications better, Ill switch over.
I hate Optifine with a flaming passion for being a janky ass mod that breaks other mods and modspacks, but I still use it. Why? Simple, I am a texture artist and I make my own animated textures for Minecraft items. Optifine allows items to have animated textures and, last I checked, none of the -dium mods have that functionality. Until Sodium adds that, I will never make the switch.
@@Schampu4000 If you use optifine by itself it's fine, but there are dozens of mods that just outright crash with optifine. From what I understand, optifine injects code / edits minecraft's code directly, so any mods that would try to touch those bits of code and expect it to be vanilla code, instead end up getting different code which causes crashes. I've been playing minecraft since beta and while optifine used to be good back in the day, try playing a couple of random modpacks with it installedd and I guarantee you'll have CTD's at startup with half of them.
@@Schampu4000 Good for you, you're such a special little boy. Please mention how you've been playing for a decade (so have I, literally no one cares). Reread the last sentence of my last reply.
The problem is if i need to use a version of Minecraft for like 15 minutes i don't want to go through modrinth for 15 minutes... we need all of them as one mod
That's the reason I use optifine. I want some specific settings, so I can either download optifine and play the game or spend at least an hour on finding, downloading and installing different things.
There are modpacks that combine them all, which functions like a single mod. Unfortunately might not be for the version you want, and doesn't help if you need to use another modpack - one or the other is going to have to be installed by hand.

Currently there’s an OFFICIAL multiloader-sodium (neoforge + fabric) version in development which will also come with some insane improvements over the previous version of sodium.

A few small points: -Optifabric does make it more compatible in a lot of situations. -there are outher stuff the server checks for than flying. For example teleporting. And there is good reson it doesn't do that as computing movment and line of sight etc. On the server is expensive. And minecraft already has a performance problem. -the fly check in vanilla is extremly easy circumvented and not really an actuall anticheat. -for the full optifine suite you also need continuity for optifines resorcepack features. Those are really nice.

for some reason none of these recent mods work on my old laptop, only optifine reduces the lag. Okay, I've been needing to buy a new computer for a while, but while Optifine is the only one that works.
One of the few pros of Optifine is if you like all the other features it has then it's 1 mod that can do all the things you want like connected textures, custom skybox, zoom etc. To get that without Optifine, you need to find alternative mods that can do those and install all of them. Then you run into problems like the zoom mod you like hasn't been updated yet so now you either find another or go without

Honestly i still use Optifine when i'm playing Bedwars cause i think there's no sodium version for 1.8.9 so... But it runs fine in this version and i don't use anything apart from that soo it works under very specific conditions xD
What’s sad is that the dev could have rewritten Optifine to play by the rules, to use mixins and yarn/mojmap, and been able to make it open source. But no, Optifine still sits in its corner holding on to ancient things like JarModding and MCP, and that has been its death.

>Incompatibility with newer mods and especially with Fabric for some reason
Fabric barely changes vanilla's game code and heavily relies on mixins. For mixin to work, the place where it tries to patch the code should not be modified by anything else or at worst by other mixin only (so it still can be recognized by loader when trying to apply the mixin). Since OF literally takes and yeets big chunks of vanilla's code, it's more surprising when it manages to work rather than not. Same goes for attempts to try and put server plugins on Fabric btw. Most of plugin loaders also rely on this method of doing things heavily
It's incompatible with a lot of older mods too.
That last part is actually wrong. Server plugins use an event system and not mixins.
@@laserslime I never said that plugins are using mixins, I said mods do use them. And afaik Sponge plugins can use mixins since this is where the library originated from
@@laserslime What?? Forge and Fabric also use event system. The problem is you can implement only super basic mods using these events only. You need mixing for complex things.
Same with server plugins.
Bro, Optifine is literally made for Forge, which is in no way compatible with Fabric. How is that a real complaint?
I abandoned optifine in 1.16 when it suddenly became incompatible with some mods. But it is still good to use in 1.12.2 where it's still compatible with almost any mod.
Well it was optifine beeing closed sourced that caused optifine to be the one beeing incompatible
Yeah, its a must for 1.12.2 and only 1.12.2 afterwords tho Ill stick to specific Rubidium versions and Oculus.
@RicedMochi i'll use it when they port oculus/iris shaders to 1.12.2. THEN we'll be cookin hard.
Suddenly it makes sense as to why I never had any problems with it
It's sad that there isn't anything equivalent to Syntra connector to run Forge mods on Legacy Fabric (a "backport" of Fabric to older versions of the game, like 1.12.2). Just using LF in place of Forge greatly reduces the slowness of the game.
Something I will add for those who own Optifine capes.
There is a mod called "capes" (yes shocking I know..) and it allows you to use your Optifine cape (along with other capes) on both Forge and Fabric.
So if you used Optifine specifically for your custom cape. You don't need to anymore. Just get Fabric, Sodium, and the capes mod and you're good.
Capes and connected textures is the only reason I use optifine anymore
I use it for the zoom as well. I use zoom an unhealthy amount. 😂
If any of these have support for shaders, the connected textures, and the zoom function i’d be willing to switch
@@colestock9980 there’s a zoom mod, Iris shaders, and I’m pretty sure there’s a way to have connected textures possibly through another mod.
I’d have to check.
@@zlette sweet
@colestock9980 just search on modrinth for connected textures. there are 2 or 3 mods that do it well. the fabulously optimized modpack has everything you need as well if you also add the capes mod

The developer really started struggling by The Flattening. Then 1.14-1.15 saw the beginning of incredibly long wait times for stable Optifine releases.
If I can recall correctly by the time 1.16 came out there wasn't even a stable Optifine release for 1.15.2 yet.
Feel bad for him, dont think hes a bad guy
What can ya do really, it might as well be a hobby for the lad.
OptiFine used to rely on MCP (Minecraft Coders Pack) to decompile the game, which was discontinued after 1.12. As a result, sp614x has to update his own private fork of MCP himself, which can not be redistributed due to the MCP license. This significantly slowed things down
@@ZenithKnight Sodium being released was the final nail in the coffin. It's been a long time Optifine, but times change. We don't hate you, it's just a lot of unfortunate circumstances that all funneled into a deathbed.
I remember that, it sucked
The one benefit i think Optifine still has over the modern optimisation mods is that it's an all in one package. A bunch of different optimisations, additions and QOL features put into one single mod. I love Sodium, Iris, ETF etc but it really can be annoying sometimes downloading all of them and i wish the creators of all these mods banded together to create one, unified mod that would finally, truly excel over Optifine
Thats an incredibly based take!
Because maybe you are on a potato PC, and you want just the optimization features. you don't want shaders as you can't even run them, and having that functionality and changes necessary to allow them affects performance.
Same with connected textures.
Or customized entity models, or giving them Element Animation style.... animations..
I'd prefer they coordinate releases a little better (have had a launcher update Sodium before Iris had support for the newer version before, always fun), but the modularity lets you keep it to just features you need / want.
I agree with this, a lot of resource packs also that need some of these features optifine provides either don't exist for forge or they just don't exist as their own mod at all
hopefully with neoforge becoming a thing this will eventually happen but until then, it will have to be waiting
an example for this is that I'm using the Faithless resource pack and I had to go in the files and delete some chest things related to optifine because my chests were invisible without optifine
another thing I guess is custom colours or custom skyboxes are not yet a thing outside of optifine so I'm really hoping these can come to be at some point
also the way optifine handles loading resource packs, I found I had to restart my entire game if I wanted to make changes to resource packs whereas with optifine I can just unload the resource pack and do any changes I want to that specific file
You can try a modpack like Fabulously Optimized. Its goal is to have feature parity with OptiFine and its very easy to install with Prism Launcher.
I also love the connected glass like ik there are mods that can do that but like literally they doesnt work for me lol
Optifine is so damn incompatible that a mod equivalent was required to make it compatible with the modloader itself in the first place. I mean optifabric anyone?

@@TK-zl8fu after a certain version it stopped being compatible
Hey! Just want to offer some clarifications, and some additional infomation
1:57 - OptiFine was created and maintained solely by sp614x, there are no additional developers
8:03 - This jump distance is due to a minuscule difference in the result from using sin() and cos() math functions, returning a number that is a 0.00001 off from the intended value in very very specific circumstances, not something that a user would ever reasonably run into. This can also have the opposite side effect, resulting in a shortened distance. Additionally, the difference in terrain general is single blocks in highly specific circumstances (ie swapping a singular stone for a dirt)
Regarding update speeds, OptiFine used to rely on MCP (Minecraft Coders Pack) to decompile the game, which was discontinued after 1.12. As a result, sp614x has to update his own private fork of MCP himself, which can not be redistributed due to the MCP license. This significantly slowed things down
If anyone has any additional questions, let me know!
Thanks for the clarification! I admit the jump at 8 a bit far. But it was the best way for me to show it does fuck with the game!
@@Cygnus_MC so you used something that is beyond insignificant as the best example of how it changes the mechanics?
@kacperwoch4368 no? I used an example of how it changed stuff to showcase that it does change stuff. I couldve used the corrupting of chunks but this had video evidence.
Sp614x was not exactly the only developer, before OptiFine, there was a popular mod called MCPatcher that allowed for things such as connected textures and more, but then OptiFine swooped in and literally copied most of the files from MCPatcher into OptiFine and stated that "MCPatcher is no longer needed". That is untrue though, because he didn't copy a few of the features. And when I say he copied them, I don't mean he was just like "oh, that's a cool feature! I'm gonna implement that to my mod." I mean he literally copy pasted the files. Search on UA-cam "OptiFines stolen features" there is a video that explains it much better than I can.
@@carlislepoe5966 the only thing that was copied was the documentation on how to use the mcpatcher formats. All of the actual code is completely different

Optifine is made by one person, so as the game becomes more complicated it becomes harder to maintain
Well he could make it opensouce and have people help like sodium does
and the fact that he still maintains it *at all* should be a source of infinite praise.
@@Cygnus_MC making it open source may also make it much worse.
@matthewbarabas3052 open source projects have drastically less bugs and issues in their code compared to even proprietary software made by tech giants by over a factor of 10 if I'm remembering correctly.

"Activate Learning Mode" and he really did it, best editor
mojang once asked to integrate optifine into base minecraft, they refused. not to mention the insane amount of time it takes to get optifine ready for the next update, its easy to see why its left in the dust
8:11 iirc the fast math option also gives you a tiny bit of extra reach when hitting other players. A very small advantage in pvp.
Ohyeah! It does
its really inconsistent, sometimes it gives you less reach and speed
I'd not describe monoliths as "very unchangeable and robust".
Robustness in CS usally refers to the ability of a program to cope with errors.
I think you were trying to say that monoliths can be very rigid
Agreed that would be a more fitting description. My bad
My personal favorite Optifine bug was back a few years ago when for multiple months, worlds with modded biomes would corrupt if you ever turned on shaders. Great job, Optifine!
This problem with Optifine breaking large portions of the game isnt just mod incompatibility, its also vanilla. In minecraft maps that rely on heavy datapack tech, we have to actively detect and warn players to not use optifine because it changes how commands work in ways that cause many inconsistent bugs, and we cant develop for optifine and vanilla at the same time.

Great video! I saw you in my comments and decided to check out your channel! I like the animations, and everything, it flows very smoothly!
there is a reason i still use optifine sometimes that being that i like quite a few old mods that haven't updated to the newer versions like thaumcraft and mods like sodium aren't available on older versions and as far as i'm aware there aren't any good alternatives for minecraft 1.12.2 (witch is the version with the most older mods i play)
Thats totally valid!!! Like i said there is no shame in using it. Just that it loses its relevence in newer versions
true, optifine is actually a pretty good mod for 1.12.2 and down but after higher versions it sucks since there are so many mods that do port the same functions as optifine and improve them while also making like 99% of them open source
They're actually working on a 1.12 port of sodium called Vintagium!
@@FyreofShadow hope it has also some other optifine features since vic's modern warfare mod is really good and idk if rn there are replacements for these features
1.12.2 is the latest version that Optifine is still fine in. I myself use it in that version, but I wouldn't touch it with a 39.5 ft pole in later versions. There are a few mods that break with it on that version, though. There are alternative performance mods like VintageFix on 1.12.2, but as far as I know, it's still your only option for shaders.

it's not that hard to use other mods, just use modrinth launcher and you'll be able to install all of -ium ending mods to your performance kitchen sink modpack
problem w/ fabric is that half the mods I like aren’t on there
@@No-OneSpecial000 just get embeddium .. its forge
To answer the first question:
A lot of these mods ends with -ium because they are named after elements. JellySquid started this trend with Sodium and Lithium, then forks that recreated it mimicked this like Rubidium and Radium. BTW, the reason a lot of elements end with -ium is because it's a suffix for metallic elements.
The -ium was so catchy that similar mods to Sodium began being named after it even if they don't have a corresponding element, like Embeddium, Nvidium, so on.
Iris is NOT a performance mod and was not made my JellySquid. It simply adds shaders to Sodium, which is why they named their mod after "eyes" instead of the element naming.
There are other "elements" mods that don't end with -ium: Phosphor (overshadowed by Starlight), Hydrogen (overshadowed by FerriteCore), and Krypton
About the iris thing. I added it to the beginning because its an optifine replacement. Other then that thanks for the clarification
starlight is depreciated now because it got merged into the vanilla game in 1.20. I think phosphor is depreciated as well because it was just worse starlight
@@videogamesbecool Yea, it was getting long so I didn’t write that. I did say overshadowed by Starlight tho. In general just use Fabulously Optimized, or fork it and make your own
Um actually, I believe Iris is technically named both after the colourful part of your eye and the Greek goddess of the Rainbow. It's only on the icon they actually reference eyes and that too has a rainbow 🤓
Although its main feature is shaders, Iris IS actually a performance mod as it also optimises entity rendering, even with shaders disabled, most people just aren't aware of that.
*Injecting any code directly into game's files has always been and will always be a terrible option, but it's the unfortunate reality of games that don't support modding.*

2:27 actually I think the most downloaded mod is probably JEI, since almost every modpack on every version has it (or an alternative to it, but still)
I highly doubt it. JEI only existed since 1.8 while OptiFine existed since Beta 1.4. It may be close, but I still think OptiFine has more downloads.
I was a die-hard optifine user for the longest time, but once a bunch of mods I regularly use made fabric ports, I tried out Sodium with a few mods like Iris and Nvidium, and I am never willingly going back.
Optifine was great in the past, but it's just not up to par anymore.
100% agree
Nvidium doesn't work with Iris shaders or any other shader.
OptiFine is way more than "a performance mod", it's a development environment.
From the Shaders you mentioned to Connected Textures, Custom Item Textures & Entity Models and even to Player Models.
OptiFine is a lifestyle.
adapt.
I didnt realize Create and Optifine are incompatible. We had both in our modpack until recently it would only crash when placing certain blocks (like the energizer) and when making some chipped blocks. As soon as optifine was removed, everything was fine. I saw a substantial increase in FPS and it even loads the game in half the time
Its odd right
If I had to guess, it might be Flywheel. The Create people rewrote the Minecraft rendering engine to make their mod run faster, and that’s Flywheel.
i just want to say as someone who sort of sweats skyblock on 1.8, optifine is pretty much the only option and is actually pretty good, as pretty much every single mod works with it.
As of now I still use Optifine for two reasons:
1: I have lots of textures packs that rely on optifine to work.
2: Ive tried Sodium before, and It didnt give me as much performance improvement as Optifine, wether its because I just didnt use other ones aswell or Optifine works better with a mac I dont know.
If i can find something that does performance better and does these two qualifications better, Ill switch over.
Try the Fabulously Optimized or Adrenaline modpacks, they have all of that.
I hate Optifine with a flaming passion for being a janky ass mod that breaks other mods and modspacks, but I still use it. Why? Simple, I am a texture artist and I make my own animated textures for Minecraft items. Optifine allows items to have animated textures and, last I checked, none of the -dium mods have that functionality. Until Sodium adds that, I will never make the switch.
What kinda mods y'all been using? I've used Optifine for over a decade and it hasn't broken anything.
@@Schampu4000 If you use optifine by itself it's fine, but there are dozens of mods that just outright crash with optifine. From what I understand, optifine injects code / edits minecraft's code directly, so any mods that would try to touch those bits of code and expect it to be vanilla code, instead end up getting different code which causes crashes. I've been playing minecraft since beta and while optifine used to be good back in the day, try playing a couple of random modpacks with it installedd and I guarantee you'll have CTD's at startup with half of them.

The problem is if i need to use a version of Minecraft for like 15 minutes i don't want to go through modrinth for 15 minutes... we need all of them as one mod
That's the reason I use optifine. I want some specific settings, so I can either download optifine and play the game or spend at least an hour on finding, downloading and installing different things.
Yeah a lot of people have that and tbh thats very fair
If you use a third party launcher, just install the "Fabulously Optimized" modpack for that version. It has all the performance mods
There are modpacks that combine them all, which functions like a single mod. Unfortunately might not be for the version you want, and doesn't help if you need to use another modpack - one or the other is going to have to be installed by hand.

@@Cygnus_MC It's a laptop from 2009 that I used some graphics hack to get it working, so, basicly.
I need to keep my connected textures

I don't wanna hate too much since ur a small creator but holy shit you could have said all this in less than 5 mins
Yep, we tighten the script in new videos
@Cygnus_MC the fact that u responded this fast and acknowledged it is respectable asf ima sub just for that bro
@@dr.kalculator6698 Thanks! And hey this is a learning profession, this video (while sadly succesfull) was a missed shot. I hope you like my other stuff more! If not i still apreciate the kind words :)
good fucking god this could've been a 2 minute video without the yapping
Like i explained in other comments, we tried a new style here from other videos ive done and sadly.. we overdid it a bit with the commentary. But 2 minutes is a bit harsh
for some reason none of these recent mods work on my old laptop, only optifine reduces the lag. Okay, I've been needing to buy a new computer for a while, but while Optifine is the only one that works.
Sodium better
Wrong.
@@Schampu4000no im not lol
@@PerfectFlamethebest Yes, yes you are.
One of the few pros of Optifine is if you like all the other features it has then it's 1 mod that can do all the things you want like connected textures, custom skybox, zoom etc. To get that without Optifine, you need to find alternative mods that can do those and install all of them. Then you run into problems like the zoom mod you like hasn't been updated yet so now you either find another or go without
I use optifine on 1.16.5 because I need just one mod to optimize the game, not the entire Mendelev's periodic table. I use sodium on newer versions tho.
wasted 10 minutes of my life watching this

It's not a "DISASTER", just that there's better mods out there. Stop the clickbait.
Welcome to youtube sadly
@@Cygnus_MCfair. can’t judge it since i noticed a lot of people who didn’t clickbait earlier clickbaiting way more
but still isn’t it too much of a clickbait?
i mean you got 1k+ dislikes and i won’t be surprised if half of them was from getting baited…
@NoscoperSans baited into what? People still got the info they clicked on no?
@@Cygnus_MC «disaster»
it’s not a disaster. the only problems with it imo is the slow development because sp614x works mostly by himself and doesn’t want to open-source it(which is a problem inside a problem) and that it simply uses mostly outdated stuff, compared to sodium x iris
1.21 optfine still not out. They’re gonna lose more downloads than ever. I’m done with their shit and switching to a different shader service
TL;DR:
Optifine is great for older versions, 1.12.2 and below.
Sodium and all the other performance mods are better in newer versions.
With the exception of 1.7.10*
womp womp 10 min video detected, opinion rejected
I don't care about anything past 1.12.2, everything past 1.12.2 sucks there still so many essential mods missing and no matter how many newly fangled mods try come out they will never replace the clasics I just can't play without for me.
I mean yeah nothing can replace tekkit classic for me. But i still enjoy the new stuff
@@Cygnus_MC Technic was/is just plain better then Tekkit Classic, Tekkit Classic war originally just the Multiplayer Version of Technic with some Multiplayer Incompatible mods removed.
Rebuttal:
I spent money on Optifine to get a cape
Therefore:
It's better
out of all the videos to fall asleep to... man..
I still use Optifine because last time I used the other stuff the last time i used sodium and such, it actually made my FPS worse
My only thought was that the newer mods are more made for newer PCs. My PC is from around 2013.
Thats not really how they work. Even my 2014 laptop benefits from having sodium installed
@@Cygnus_MC well I don't know then. Unless Sodium has gotten better since I last tried it.
I use OptiFine because it works in 1.7.10, which is the only minecraft version I play.
Sodium and Iris doesn't exist for 1.7.10.
I don't have any mod issues with Optifine installed on my packs I make (that's noticeable anyway).
Sodium does exist on 1.7.10, look up Angelica mod. It also has Iris built-in, but it's not functional yet.
Honestly i still use Optifine when i'm playing Bedwars cause i think there's no sodium version for 1.8.9 so...
But it runs fine in this version and i don't use anything apart from that soo it works under very specific conditions xD
What’s sad is that the dev could have rewritten Optifine to play by the rules, to use mixins and yarn/mojmap, and been able to make it open source. But no, Optifine still sits in its corner holding on to ancient things like JarModding and MCP, and that has been its death.
optifine brings my minecraft from 10 to 30 fps
First time seeing this channel, and they managed to call me out 3 times…

Yelled at me to wake up (listening while winding down for bed)
Called me by my first name…
That gets a sub from me……….
