I’m trying to install Optifine on a Linux Mint Cinnamon laptop. Minecraft Java edition of course.

The game works and has been launched in version 1.20.1, but the Optifine installer keeps saying that I need run version 1.20.1 first.

Also, the installer is already pointing at the correct directory as default, but when I browse the location from the installer, I can’t see or set the .minecraft directory manually.

What to do?

    Download prismlauncher and select a pack that comes with it or has it as an optional mod. IIRC vanilla+ includes optifine.

        That used to only work for mods that come without an installer and optifine used to not come without one. Did any of that change?

          You can directly download Optifine as a mod, and is the only mod that I know even has an installer, so yeah that changed
