Nevertheless here we are in the OptiFine installer in the OptiFine installer it’s super easy to get OptiFine just click install but this may not work for a few reasons one is if Minecraft or the Minecraft launcher open this can sometimes cause issues or maybe later on

You won’t be able to open up OptiFine if that’s the case close out of those and then reinstall OptiFine the second and probably more common reason is that you’ve never played played Minecraft 1.20 before so go play it just latest release 1.20 without any mods or

Anything and then once you go to the main menu of Minecraft 1.20 close out of it then come back to the OptiFine installer open it back up and you’ll be able to install OptiFine like we just did nevertheless let’s go ahead and click OK here to close out of the
