Disclaimers:

  • OptiFine is not related to or supported by Fabric.
  • Optifabric is not related to or supported by Fabric and/or OptiFine.
  • OptiFine+Optifabric may be incompatible with some Fabric mods and cause crashes.
  • Using OptiFine and Optifabric is not officially supported by the Fabric Mod Loader.

STEP 1: Create a new Fabric Instance

If your existing Fabric instance already contains a bunch of Fabric mods, it is better to just create a new Fabric instance to install OptiFine, to be sure everything works as intended. Once you have this new instance running, you may copy the files you downloaded to your original instance and verify that everything runs smoothly.

Use this tutorial to create a new instance using MultiMC.

Use this tutorial to create a new instance using the MC Launcher.

For the rest of the tutorial we will use a MC/Fabric 1.14.4 instance as an example. You may need newer file versions for newer MC versions.

STEP 2: Download OptiFine

Get the latest OptiFine installer for Minecraft 1.14.4 from here: OptiFine downloads

The OptiFine Installer should be placed in the instance ''mods'' folder

There is no need to run the OptiFine Installer you downloaded, or to extract the OptiFine jar mod from the Optifine Installer file.

STEP 3: Download Optifabric

Optifabric is a mod that can be used to run OptiFine on the Fabric Mod Loader. It does this by taking the official OptiFine mod and making it compatible with the Fabric Mod Loader at runtime.

Get the latest version of Optifabric for Minecraft 1.14.4 from here: Optifabric downloads

The Optifabric jar file should be placed in the instance ''mods'' folder

STEP 4: Update Fabric-API

Get the latest version of the Fabric API for Minecraft 1.14.4 from here: Fabric API downloads

The Fabric API jar file should be placed in the instance ''mods'' folder

If you have an older version of the Fabric API in your ''mods'' folder, delete it now.

STEP 5: Start Minecraft

That's it, that's all there is to using OptiFine+Optifabric+Fabric
