OptiFabric is a fabric mod that can run with OptiFine on the fabric loader for your Minecraft sessions. The unique thing about OptiFabric is that it blends the functionalities of Minecraft fabric and OptiFine and patches it at the runtime of your game.
Now, the question is, “Why should you download and use it?”. That’s exactly what I’m here to show you today. After going through the full review, you’ll understand if you need it or not!
Using Minecraft OptiFabric
As already mentioned, OptiFabric mod combines the power of OptiFine and Fabric loader. However, it should be noted that you must have the Fabric loader & OptiFine pre-installed to use this mod. Or, you can download them before you start adding the OptiFabric environment pack.
So, if you’re completely new to these things, then you might struggle a bit. Because you need to download three things: Fabric loader, Fabric API (the Fabric version you want to use), and OptiFine.
Once you’ve gone through all the downloads, you can start with the OptiFabric mod.
Before you install or open any of the Jar files, make sure your Minecraft launcher is closed and not running in the background. In my early days, I kept the launcher open and the fabric mods didn’t install properly.
After the installation was done, I could easily paste the Jar files into the Minecraft Mods folder and the mods were good to go!
All I had to do now was to launch the game and yeah! The mods were running perfectly fine as the image shows.
Now, I can access many resources, texture packs, and shaders within Minecraft due to the OptiFabric mod.
As this is a mod, we have to be very careful because there are always risks attached to them. Minecraft will show a risk notification before you run the mod and even if you lose all of your account data, Mojang won’t be accountable for it.
So, you should always tread caution while using any mod. With that being said, let’s come to a summary of what’s the experience with OptiFabric from a user’s perspective.
First of all, it requires a bit of know-how to initiate the mod. You can’t just expect OptiFabric to run with a click of a button. Then, you should be careful because modding is not endorsed by Mojang or any game developers.
Lastly, once you install it properly, the smooth HD graphics with exciting resources definitely feel good! Overall, you should try it out once and get to know about the features of OptiFabric better.
Conclusion
While the whole process of installing the mod might be a bit difficult, the features more than makeup for it. Now, the decision is completely yours whether you want to try it or not. Personally, I found it quite refreshing and engaging.
So, hopefully, you will find it exciting as well!
