Revision as of 23:45, 6 January 2019

This guide will help you install the latest Minecraft Forge and OptiFine.

Find your .minecraft folder

Before you begin, you must find your .minecraft directory. This directory will not exist if you have not run the Minecraft launcher at least once. This tutorial will work from within this folder.

OS	Path
	`~/.minecraft`
	`%appdata%\.minecraft`
	`~/Library/Application Support/minecraft`

In many Linux file managers, dot files (files and folders prefixed with a period .) will be hidden. In Nautilus, press Ctrl + H to toggle the display of dot files.

Downloading and Installing Files

Then, open the downloaded .jar file, or run it from a command line like this:

java -jar forge-1.12.2-14.23.5.2806-universal.jar
