Mandatory Optifine
by bo_bo
Mandatory Optifine is a game-mechanics, management and utility Minecraft mod from bo_bo with 16K downloads on the Orca catalog. It runs on Forge, so it slots into a matching Minecraft profile without hand-patching anything. Mandatory Optifine is free to download and free to host on Orca: press Play and Orca launches Minecraft with Mandatory Optifine already installed, or host it on a free server to play with friends. There is no control panel and no config files to edit, and no command line to learn. Describe what you want in plain English and Orca installs Mandatory Optifine along with the loader and Minecraft version it needs, then you and your friends are playing in minutes.

How to install Mandatory Optifine

That’s it. Nothing to download or configure.
- Download the latest Mandatory Optifine file from Modrinth for your Minecraft version.
- Install Forge and launch Minecraft once so the loader profile is created.
- Drop the downloaded .jar into your mods folder (the mods folder inside .minecraft, or your server's mods folder).
- Add any libraries Mandatory Optifine depends on (the Modrinth page lists them) into the same folder, then start Minecraft on the Forge profile.
