The Breakdown – Best Optifine Settings for Minecraft 1.19.4

You want to know what the best OptiFine settings are well first you need to get OptiFine which you can check out in the description and down below here’s a complete guide on how to install OptiFine it literally is the most in-depth guide on getting OptiFine on

The internet you should go check it out if you don’t have OptiFine but once you’ve got that we can jump into the Minecraft launcher and get things going here so first things first you do want to start in the Minecraft launcher you’re going to have this OptiFine

Installation but we want to go up here to the top to the installations tab because we want to add more RAM to it now if you don’t see OptiFine here you want to make sure that modded is checked and then we can go ahead and click on

The three dots and click edit then come down here and click the more options button finally we have this jvm arguments and what this is is how much RAM Minecraft has so xmx2g means there’s two gigabytes of RAM dedicated to Minecraft as a general rule you should

Never dedicate more than half of the ram your computer has to Minecraft so I have 64 gigs of RAM which means in theory I could give Minecraft 32 gigabytes of RAM and you can change it by changing the number after xmx here but that’s insane truthfully for most people four

Gigabytes of RAM is going to be more than enough there are mod packs out there that will require six or eight or even 10 gigabytes of RAM but we’re gonna change it to four I would recommend assuming you have at least eight gigabytes of RAM to set Yours to four G

Right here as well so now let’s just go ahead and click save and now we can launch up Minecraft with OptiFine while this is launching have another star sponsor Apex Minecraft hosting go to the first link in the description down below the breakdown.xyz slash Apex start your

Very own Minecraft sir you can have mods you can have plugins you can do anything you want with it and they have 24 hours seven day a week support so go check out Apex again at the first link in the description down below the breakdown to XYZ slash apexes to start your server

Now let’s let’s go ahead and get OptiFine setup so to do this obviously we’re gonna go to options but wait let’s talk about resource packs resource packs are a great way to change the look of Minecraft but they’re also a great way to add some lag in a lot of cases so

With that I would recommend not installing resource packs unless you absolutely love them or if you go through these settings and you who aren’t lagging because if you’re not lagging after you go through all these settings and set everything up then you’re probably A-Okay at that point to

Go ahead and add in some resource packs and obviously if they then start lagging or if Minecraft starts lagging with the resource pack you know that’s the case you can remove it again but I would recommend removing all resource packs for now then let’s go into video

Settings this is where all of our OptiFine settings are and we can get things going now I would recommend getting a base FPS reading of some sort where you just jump into Minecraft and you know get your FPS how do you see your FPS in Minecraft well you can just

Simply hit F3 and when you hit F3 on your keyboard or FN and three it will open up this and then the top left we have our FPS so as you can see I think one is the average and one is like the peak for example but we’re just going to

Go ahead and write this down I would say it’s averaging like I’ll go high 150 as well as uh 30 40 FPS so 150 40. and uh that’ll be good so let’s go ahead and make note of that there we go right like so and now we’ll come back to that later

Also we can go ahead and zoom in here that way you have the best look as well so go into options video settings and now what we want to do is configure all of this to be as lag free as possible now later on you can up this up right

You can change this and I am going to try to make it playable for example instead of turning render distance all the way down to two I’m actually going to set it to 12 here but render distance is one thing I would recommend turning

All the way down if you set it to 12 and are still lagging nevertheless though everything else is going to be kind of well how do I put this it’s going to look bad but you can easily change it later so for for graphics we obviously want to change those to fast smooth

Lighting is going to be turned off simulation distance needs to be turned down all the way to five smooth lighting turn that off frame rate put that on Max GUI scale technically one is going to be the best looking but uh well we want you

To be able to see and it’s just not really going to have a huge huge impact on performance entity Shadows you can turn those off brightness doesn’t affect performance neither does attack indicators Dynamic lights need to be turned off Dynamic fov doesn’t effect performance it can sometimes make it

Feel like you’re lagging though so you might want to turn that off shaders turn these off shaders are the biggest lag inducing thing in Minecraft we do have in the description some high performance shaders linked that you can check out but overall turn off shaders and then if

You’re not lagging when this is all said and done maybe you can add them back MIP map levels these need to be turned all the way off MIP map type set to nearest anthroscopic filtering off anti-aliasing off emissive textures off random entities that need to be turned off

Better grass needs to be set to fast here if we can get back there fast better Stone needs to be turned off custom bots can be left on same with custom colors connected textures need to be turned to the fast setting here I’m sorry some of these are having to reload

And it’s very difficult there natural textures need to be turned off custom Sky needs to be turned off custom items can be left on custom DUIs can be left on custom entity models needs to be turned off and Distortion effects can be turned off as well as fov effects from

There we can then move on to the details setting where everything in here needs to be either turned off or set to fast so clouds and trees have a fast option rain and snow also has a fast option it also has an off option but I would

Personally I like rain and snow so I’m going to leave that on Fast sky can be turned off Stars off sun and moon can be turned off but it doesn’t really affect lag too much so I leave these on showcapes turn that off fog it needs to

Be turned off fog start doesn’t matter because you turned off Fog View bobbing doesn’t really affect performance we’re going to turn it off same for held item tool tips that can be left on auto save indicator can also be left on Swap colors turned off vignette turn too fast

Alternative blocks turned off into the distance all the way down and biome blend turned off so there you go there are all of your settings there some of these can actually be left on and it’s okay because they don’t really affect lag so yeah from there we can go ahead

And move on to our performance tab this is where you can actually get a lot of benefit and a big boost out of Minecraft with OptiFine this is optifine’s biggest thing that allows it to boost Minecraft and how it performs so for render regions we want to turn these on Fast

Renders want to be turned on Smart animations turned on Fast Math turned on smooth FPS and smooth World these are going to smooth out your FPS I want to get over a thousand FPS here right like I want to blow this out of the water so

I’m actually going to turn both of these off you should probably turn them on but note it’s going to give you lower FPS but it’s going to make there be less jumps in fps right so your FPS May fluctuate from like 500 to 600 to 400 to

600. if you turn this on it’ll smooth it out and it’ll always be like 450 to 500 right so you might want to turn those on in that case but I want to see what the max we can get so I’m going to leave them off chunk updates said that to one

Dynamic updates turn that on lazy chunk loading turn that on and chunk builder needs to be set to semi blocking there we go we can click that done and now go into animations this is my favorite tab because it only requires one click all off done you can come back through here

And set specific ones if you want but all off is going to give you the last or the most lag free result and other I always like to turn show FPS on that means we don’t have to F3 to see our FPS weather can be left on

Everything else in here is kind of default and can just be left as is except shojua GL errors turn that off you don’t want those to show and then auto save make sure this is turned to whatever you feel comfortable with losing for example can you lose six

Minutes of work in Minecraft I can that’s why I set mine there you can lose 24 minutes go and set it there but I’d recommend six let’s go ahead and click done and guess what OptiFine is now set up some of the interesting things and some of the things you can change is

Render distance might want to go to two we’ll actually set it to two and then I’ll upgrade it here in a second as well as some of the lighting you might want to turn on you know smooth lighting you might want to mess with these settings a

Little bit and that’s okay this is a baseline to get the basically most FPS you don’t need more than 60 FPS in Minecraft so feel free to go in here and change stuff and get down to 60fps As Long As Minecraft looks good and then

You like playing it and FPS is stable as long as it’s 60fps you’re good to go or higher right so as you can see here we are doing it well over 1 000 Peak FPS there and that first number let’s get it kind of right here as you can see it

Looks horrible right so we can go in here we can make a few settings it’s going to lower our FPS but it’s going to do a lot so I’m going to turn fancy graphics on I’m going to turn my render distance actually up to 24. I have a

Pretty good PC so I can do this smooth lighting level I’m just going to turn this on to 50 I’m not going to go all the way with it and then I also like coming into the details setting turning swamp colors on as well as whereas the stars and the sky rain and

Snow fast trees turn those to fast and clouds turn those to fast as well as turn clouds on so by doing this oh and bio blend right there as well so by doing this Minecraft looks a lot better we can see a lot farther the trees look

Better and look at this we’re still getting well over that 100 and then actually it’s dipping relatively low so I might want to change for example the uh the graphics here to a fast graphics and that’s going to boost our FPS just a little more as you can see start getting

Us over 60 right like so so there you have it you can change things around and that’s how optifine’s so great with the settings you can go from a thousand FPS down to 30 and then stabilize around 90 you know 60 FPS as you’re moving around so truthfully the options are endless

But uh this hopefully will give you a baseline for your OptiFine settings and um yeah hope you enjoyed the video if you did give it a thumbs up subscribe to the channel for more incredible content and we’ll see you in the next one peace
