Ambient occlusion, depth of field, procedural waves and waving of flora - even more advanced techniques such as volumetric lighting are a thing shaders can do, and it’s no wonder they’ve become an incredibly popular thing - and OptiFine alongside them - in the Minecraft community. Shaders are essentially little graphical programs that are added on top of the Minecraft game, making it look far prettier in just about every regard. Alongside its customization suite, OptiFine comes with support for HD Texture/ resource packs to spruce up the look of your game, as well as - much more importantly - the ability to load shaders. It lets Minecraft run much faster while looking better at the same time, enabling far more in-depth customization of performance and graphical settings and optimizing them at the same time.īut that’s not it. OptiFine, as it describes itself, is a Minecraft optimization mod. As a consequence of all the big features, Minecraft does have a tendency to slow down, especially on lower-end PCs, and this increases exponentially when you add mods into the equation. The fact that Minecraft runs so smoothly is a testament to the care Mojang put into it. While it seems simple enough, coding these sorts of features is an immense and challenging task and optimizing them for performance even more.
Infinite world generation, complex cave ecosystems, dimensions, flying, and much more. Minecraft, from a technical standpoint, is a marvel.
