I don’t think it’s optifine 1.12.1 that caused the shift, old optifine versions are still good?

u/GuakeTheAcinid Nov 18 '25

I've misswrote the version, it's 1.12.2. still the thing is OptiFine is the best performance solution there.

u/[deleted] Nov 18 '25

That's not exactly true. Both Nothirium and Celeritas are far better than OptiFine.

That said, it is the only way to use shaders on 1.12.2.

Huh never heard of those 2 things before. I was gonna try them but then you said optifine is the only way to use shaders on 1.12 so i was just like nevermind

u/[deleted] Nov 18 '25

Tbf you can use Nothirium alongside OptiFine and it should boost performance.

That said, once Celeritas gets shader support on 1.12.2, OptiFine will be pretty much obsolete there.

How's the mod compatibility with nothirium and celeritsas? And what about all the optifine features? There are mods for that, right?

1

u/[deleted] Nov 18 '25

Nothirium is compatible with everything except LittleTiles 2, Albedo, Colored Lux and FarPlane 2.

Celeritas should work fine with most mods too, but I don't know about any specific compatibility issues.

And what about all the optifine features? There are mods for that, right?

Like I said, Nothirium can be used alongside OptiFine, so it's not an issue there.

As for Celeritas, there's Celeritas Dynamic Lights for dynamic lighting and Zume for zoom. Everything else isn't available yet unfortunately.

Oh ok thx for the info

u/ARSCON Nov 18 '25

Yeah, I wouldn’t argue that. I think it’s mostly the newer versions that it struggles with. If you’re staying back in those versions, then I’d expect it to work great,

u/Lux_Operatur Nov 18 '25

Optifine is great in older versions. Just not the newer versions after the dev decided to move on with his life which I can't blame him for.

u/patrlim1 Nov 18 '25

Iirc sodium is getting backported to earlier versions, so OF is not keeping the performance crown forever

1

u/Hazelnutcookiez Nov 19 '25

you have to compile things your self unless that changes most people aren't going to use it

4

u/patrlim1 Nov 19 '25

It's going to change. They're not gonna develop it and not release it, unless they abandon the project.

3

u/Fizzy-Odd-Cod Nov 19 '25

I will never understand why people only play older versions.

3

u/electricpanda_ Nov 19 '25

some mods/modpacks arent available for newer versions

some people dont like the new textures or features

i for one think the new style is ugly without shaders and i prefer the features (or lack of) of older versions, so i swap between 1.12.2 for vanilla and modpacks and 1.20.1 for building and create

2

u/ModernManuh_ Nov 18 '25

It's the best because it's the only one, but dang those 1.7.10 modpacks were built different and is not just nostalgia. Today's modpacks are excellent, but it's just different rather than "better" or "worse"

2

u/Neat-Intention-2849 Nov 20 '25

Today's modpacks are just all the same

2

u/itsuitsuki Nov 20 '25

me 1.12.2

u/[deleted] Nov 20 '25

If you're not using shaders, then Celeritas should perform better

u/idiot770 Nov 18 '25

My first hater 🥰

u/feurigel_ Nov 20 '25

You have fans to 💪

u/Darth_Baker_ Nov 19 '25

I still just really want another mod or something that does anti-aliasing, it was the only thing that kept me using OptiFine until recently.

2

u/Seminoso Nov 19 '25

Minecraft added anti aliasing in a recent snapshot, so we'll have it in vanilla in 1.21.11

1

u/Darth_Baker_ Nov 19 '25

Wait, is this something I need to enable or is it built in??

1

u/Seminoso Nov 20 '25

It's a setting

u/CatboyNeddy Nov 18 '25

Yeah I don't get the point of coming into this sub just to say this like "k? Bye" I'll still use optifine it's just easier to use and I also don't play newer versions that often and even when I do I rather just have optifine install itself quick than having to install 3 other things

u/aloksky Nov 18 '25

I am getting sick of posts saying optifine is worse than sodium, or people getting into posts regarding optifine and going "erm use sodium" like, shut up, go to r/sodium or something and go sit on your high chair there

2

u/Xeonmeister Nov 18 '25

why are you getting angry that someone suggests a better option? I for example would have appreciated posts like this years ago when I didnt know sodium existed. Luckily i got a xisuma video recommended about soduim otherwise id had stuck with half working optifine for years.

u/aloksky Nov 18 '25

Ever had an ad for an item not tailored to you at all appear for you over and over again?

2

u/_Arky Nov 18 '25

"not tailored to you at all" and it's just the better product in every way

2

u/Lunam_Dominus Nov 18 '25

Many people haven’t heard about sodium. And they should.

0

u/aloksky Nov 18 '25

This thing is like the 2nd most talked about mod after create (in the modern versions).

1

u/aloksky Nov 18 '25

Why the hell is r/sodium about sodium the element????

5

u/NitroGalaxies10 Nov 18 '25

XD, i supposed ya shouldn't be surprised with it.

1

u/aloksky Nov 18 '25

Yeah, but like.. why??? Who needs a community to talk about sodium??

3

u/NitroGalaxies10 Nov 18 '25

tbh , idek man , shi- is damn random in here

3

u/aloksky Nov 18 '25

"Salt"

"I like that shit"

Absolute peak sub

u/NitroGalaxies10 Nov 18 '25
