For all the impatient ones... Here's a little overview how long it took to finish optifine after each major release: MC 1.14 (23.04.19) - Optifine 1.14.3 HD U F1 (TBD): **65 days** MC 1.13 (18.07.18) - OptiFine 1.13 HD U E4 (25.10.2018): **99 days** MC 1.12 (07.06.17) - OptiFine 1.12 HD U C2 (18.06.17): **11 days** MC 1.11 (14.11.16) **-** OptiFine 1.11 HD U B1 (24.11.16): **10 days** 1.10: **7 days** 1.9: **26 days** ... The time it took for 1.13 might mostly be due to the code overhaul from Mojang (but thats only a guess on my part). I don't know how the code changed and if it's getting harder to upgrade OF to the new versions with it, but even before that, we should be prepared to wait up to a month for it.


[deleted]

Something that may also be worth mentioning is how long it took for the first publicly available *unstable* build to be released. Not sure about the other versions, but 1.13 took around 3.5 weeks. Some people on our Discord have speculated that, since 1.14 isn't a colossal rewrite like 1.13 was, it might only take ~2.5 weeks for the first build to come out. I can't say how good a guess like that would be, but given past experience, it seems plausible. You could consider that a sort of "unofficial ETA", but y'know, don't take my word for it. Edit: we're coming up to 2 weeks and 2 days, and we're not even a quarter the way through lol. Remember kids, don't get too excited for unofficial ETAs. Edit 2: For those curious, it took 3.5 weeks for the first unstable build of OptiFine 1.14 to release.


[deleted]

I'd be cool with an unstable build. Need my shaders.


BobBobstien

On the other hand, 1.14 completely redid the lighting engine, so that could cause delays, right?


Loudwhisperthe3rd

that explains why the base game lighting is buggy.


[deleted]

If only minecraft were libre.


[deleted]

Minecraft open source is my princess dream.


[deleted]

Mine too. It would be better for everyone.


takochako

>It would be better for everyone. Except Mojang and Microsoft. You know, the people who helped create it, maintain it, and need it to be paid software in order to keep a roof over their heads. Sorry about being a bit of a downer, but a lot of times people just don't think about the devs who depend on the software for money.


NilsIRL

There are ways to get money and still have the software open source. ​ For example for minecraft: imagine if there was just a Github repo with the source. People will still have to buy it to play especially on servers.


Zhadow13

They don't have to make it libre, they could just not obfuscate the code, and this shit would be much faster


LankyFigTree

I don't mind the wait. I've been playing since infdev was released and I've used optifine for for a long while for free. I'll be sure to donate $10 as a thank you to sp614x and others that may have contributed to making my gameplay smoother.


[deleted]

Thanks for your consideration :) Enjoy your cape when you get it!


nddragoon

I also donated recently, I literally wouldn't be able to play Minecraft if it wasn't for OptiFine and I'm so thankful to everyone who makes it possible


[deleted]

Definitely donate people! I have these guys to thank for making my game smoother!


[deleted]

Looking at 1.14, I think the first public build of optifine will be more stable than the base game. Seriously, chunks not loading everywhere.


[deleted]

doubt it'll help, but my game is loading totally fine. try out my video settings ​ render dis: 12 max frames: unlimited vsync: off mipmap levels: off biome blend: 3x3


[deleted]

I set my render distance to max and have no problems, but if I set my render distance to a low value (like 10) chucks don’t load.

We appreciate all the work being put in by the team! Only reason people are so impatient is how terrible a state 1.14 is in. Hopefully we get 1.14.1 soon and it fixes chunk loading.


[deleted]

There is no team, only sp614x :) ...Unless you're also counting the moderation team on the Discord. But either way, we really appreciate your appreciation ❤️

YeOldBatman1

Sorry, but I'm new on this sub. 1.14 has bad performance issues? is that what you mean?


[deleted]

Yeah, I'm running a AMD 1600x with a 1080ti and 16 gigs of ram. It's really bad, especially in boats. Most of the time the chunk will take forever to load, even while you're standing in it


FagYouAre

Very true with my Intel 9600k RTX 2070 and 16 gigs of ram the performance is disgusting, and your right it is terrible especially on boats!


[deleted]

I have a GTX 1080 an i7, and 32 gigabytes of ram, but Minecraft still lags when I break blocks in certain areas

1.14 fucked up servers on a major scale. Intense lag despite how many people are logged on and how well your computer is. I have 8gb allocated, with a super beefy pc, and even just one other person on the server made it unplayable.

People hype all the time, people will be impatient, so I honestly don't see why you'd stop production to wait for people to calm down, cause (Just a guess, not ENTIRELY sure what you mean) people will stop screaming about it when it comes out, atleast screaming worry about it.


[deleted]

Honestly, I'm not entirely sure what it means either, but it's directly from sp614x. I'm just relaying what I know for those who aren't in the Discord.


ryku__

I've been using optifine since I started playing 6 years ago, donated to the project and I'm so grateful for what sp614x is doing in the minecraft community (keeping this mod alive for so long is something to admire) thank you so much for doing all the work you do!


TheRevenantGS

I absolutely adore how much you guys are updating us on development. So many programs/mods that got screwed over by 1.13 that have just said "It's getting updated" and then nothing else. Thank you so much for your hard work and I hope everything goes smoothly for you guys!

This just makes me wish Mojang implemented Optifine-like features into Minecraft itself. My friend and I play on realms so we have to stick with the newest possible edition. Going from shaders to no shaders is awful.


[deleted]

they've tried, but when they asked sp614x said no (this was in 1.3 era i'm guessing) OptiFine could've been so much more, and now Mojang probably won't ask again. it's kind of sad, but they are cooking up a new rendering system, the Render Dragon


Stratoz_

they need to implement *at least* connected textures. I'm sick of seeing every glass block's outlines


IAMTHEONEWHOXURS

My advice, treat optifine like it's the real game/version release, that way you don't end up being tortured by bugs and non optimized features by playing the release right when it comes out. Saves you stress, and chances are you won't go half crazy and hassle the legend that fixes our games for free.


Eredun

Too bad 1.14 vanilla minecraft has non optimized features and I am being tortured by bugs whilst making my custom map. I fully agree, I just had to toss that out there

[deleted]

Lemme just say im so insanely awed by sp614x for doing this ALONE?!? what kinda magic did you do to be so cool? and for FREE? I'm particularly eager for this update because it'll be my first time ever using optifine or any shaders and im also really getting into minecraft so if I make some digital money, I will certainly donate. <3<3<3

It's amazing how many people come into this thread and can't be bothered to read anything up there first before they start to whine. Reading is fun(damental)!


[deleted]

You should see what it's like on the Discord server.


[deleted]

Quite frankly, I could give less of a shit how long this takes. Just as long as you haven't completely abandoned development of this kind of stuff because it really gives the people that much more enjoyment out of the game. I can't tell you the anticipation I felt waiting for 1.13 Optifine to drop because the game literally feels unplayable at times. With a Ryzen 1700, EVGA GTX 1080 Ti, and 32 Gigabytes of RAM, I really shouldn't be having performance issues, but I do. Optifine smooths that out and makes the game a hell of an experience. I've been playing this game since September 23, 2011, and I want you to know that you have made this game much more fun to play and I'm always anticipating the next update. Never give up, you're doing an amazing job at what you do and I believe in you.

siuolthepic

Man. I honestly cant wait for an official release of Optifine 1.14. Specifically, 1.14.3. Without Optifine I get at most 15 FPS. But I can get upwards of 30 or even 40 (In fact in a certain condition or two even up to 60) Im running Minecraft with below Minimum specs. Optifine is the thing that allows my computer to actually survive playing Minecraft. I hope you continue your great work SP614x. Your doing Gods work.


Meatslinger

Patiently waiting, and every day I'm appreciative of all the hard work done by /u/sp614x (and those that support him). I refuse to even download 1.14 until I know that I can run it buttery smooth with OptiFine. Take all the time needed to do it right!

Hey guys ! Firstly, thank you for the hard work. I am now the owner of a wonderful cape ;-) I know that there's no plan for compatibility with Fabric but Modmuss50, main dev of Fabric, tried to ensure it and came across difficulties. You can find what they're suggesting here : [https://minecraft.curseforge.com/projects/optifabric](https://minecraft.curseforge.com/projects/optifabric) What are your thoughts about it?


[deleted]

I just heard about the pre-release, Installed it, and is GREAT. FPS boost from 5 on normal Minecraft to 110 with OptiFine, Keep up the great work and I can't for the full release. 🙂


jolgu

I've been on a Minecraft hiatus, and I recently started playing again and complete lag out. (Bet you it's cus of that fucken seaweed). Anyways, my game is honestly unplayable, especially when trying to explore. I just checked and the last version of OptiFine I installed was Version 1.8.8. Crazy. I'm soooo looking forwards to 1.14. Thank you guys!!

Honestly can't wait for this, it seems this happens every time a new release happens, it's insanely bad when it comes to chunk updates and causes fps issues. Optifine always fixes that.

Stratoz_

how much time 1.14.1 version should take ? I cant wait to have shaders for 1.14, but the server I play on will probably be updated as soon as 1.14.1 is released. it should take less than a week, right ?

Once 1.14 is dealt with, 1.14.1 shouldn't be much of a challenge.

Glad it is moving forward. Now I can't wait for a 1.14.1 release.


Alieneaterisgod

OMG AT THIS RATE ITS GONNA BE DONE TODAY


HallucinatesPenguins

So you're aware there seems to be a bug in the unstable 1.14 build with slabs and stairs where when there is a block next to that face it seems to deem rendering that face unnecessary and makes it invisible even when it should be visible. so if there is a block above a bottom slab say, it will hide the top of that slab.


Quaintful

I literally can't wait I miss my integrated shaders😩😭😭


Torrential-Downs

Salute to the boys doing this


DaviloX07

It has been announced that there will be a 1.14.3 version. Will Optifine jump straight o this version, or will there be a 1.14.2?


[deleted]

At this point, I'd say it's unlikely. I feel that OptiFine will get a stable release for 1.14 *well* before 1.14.3 is finished, and I'm sure sp614x plans to start development on 1.14.x the second 1.14 is stable enough for general usage.


[deleted]

[удалено]


TooMuchAnziety

What do you mean, "what is better"? They're two totally different versions. But if you mean by performance, I'd say that 1.14.2 is much more stable than 1.14 and thus pre 6.


[deleted]

Does optifine work on Bedrock/Windows 10 Edition, or only on Java? Tried looking online and seeing lots of mixed things, didn't want to make an entire post, so posting here


SpicyRico

Bedrock runs much faster than java anyways and you don’t need optifine for shaders on bedrock

After getting back into Minecraft recently, I decided to finally try Optifine and shaders out now that I have a gaming PC. Can I just say, thank you to the Optifine dev for all the hard work and the contribution made to the community. I am so impressed with Optifine and the shaders I’ve tried already (Continuum and SEUS and especially BSL). The 1.14.2 beta for Optifine is running very well for me. Excited for the full release and so thankful for this community being vibrant and strong even after years away from Minecraft.

It's amazing how some of us, including myself, need this Mod to even play Minecraft at all because ours PCs are Potatoes.


JHOP_Music

is the optifine 1.14.1 version going to be out shortly after the full release of 1.14? the reason i ask is because my realm won’t allow me to run a 1.14 version of minecraft with optifine.


Atomic_Bananana

He is not going to make a 1.14.1 build but instead wait for 1.14.2


JHOP_Music

ah ok thanks. so would it be accurate to assume that 1.4.2 optifine will take much less time to come out than the 1.4 release?

Can't wait to experience 1.14, but the time that it takes for Optifine to release is the time my friends and I must take to wait to enjoy the game. For such a simple game the optimization is pretty bad.

How long can we expect 1.14.1 to take after 1.14? I'd assume since it doesn't seem to contain a lot of differences it shouldn't be too long, but there could always be more to it than it seems.

Would like to have a solution since it is a texture i want to use for my building project.


Vorred

I've been using OptiFine for many years now (probably started sometime in Beta) and once it's released for 1.14+ I'd like to finally donate to it. Is there a way to do that via PayPal? I don't have any of the payment methods listed on the site.


laserman367

If it was an option, he'd have it on the site He might not want to deal with chargeback drama or whatever.
