Hey everyone! I’m totally new to Minecraft on PC and have never played before today. I’ve been watching some awesome YouTube videos showcasing mods and shaders, and I really want in on that action. I’ve successfully downloaded CurseForge and gotten a bunch of mods to work, except for shaders. I found out that Optifine would let me run shaders, but here’s the catch: I can’t use Optifine and CurseForge mods at the same time, which is a bummer because I love both! Is there a way to use them together? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

What version of Minecraft are you playing, and what specific mods do you want to use? Just a heads-up, Optifine isn’t highly compatible with many mods, especially on the latest versions. If your other mods are available for Fabric or NeoForge, you might want to look into the Iris Shaders mod instead for better shader support!
If you’re playing on version 1.16.5 or newer, I’d recommend checking out the Embeddium and Oculus mods since Optifine isn’t really the best choice for those newer versions. If you’re on an older version though, just right-click your modpack in CurseForge and choose ‘Open folder’. You can then drag and drop the Optifine jar file into the mods folder there! Good luck!
Thanks! I’m on a newer version, so I’ll definitely check those out.
I’m on Minecraft version 1.21.4, and I’m trying to use vein mining, ambient noise, and a mod that makes trees fall when I mine them. I’ll check out your suggestion! Hope it helps!
