OptiFine Installation Guide for Fabric

''This is a step-by-step installation guide for OptiFine and the OptiFabric mod for Fabric mod loader on Minecraft version 1.17.1. It mainly serves as an addendum to the Minimap Installation Guide.''


 * 1) Make sure that the Fabric Mod Loader is properly installed and set up for 1.17.1 (see the Minimap Installation Guide on how to install Fabric).
 * 2) Download the latest version of OptiFabric for 1.17.1 (link: https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/optifabric/files).
 * 3) Download the latest version of OptiFine for 1.17.1 (link: https://optifine.net/downloads).
 * 4) Open the OptiFine .jar file, extract it into your mods folder, and click save once you have navigated there; this will put a mod loader friendly version of OptiFine in there. Make sure you have already launched Minecraft 1.17.1 at least once in the main launcher beforehand.
 * 5) Put the OptiFabric .jar file into the mods folder.
 * 6) At this point OptiFine should be installed onto your Fabric instance of Minecraft 1.17.1, allowing you to have VoxelMap and OptiFine on simultaneously.
