How to install both Forge and OptiFine - JE1.7.10

0. Introduction


This article explains the procedure for using MiniaTuria in Minecraft (JE1.7.10) with Mods.
1. First, install "Minecraft Forge", which is a prerequisite for adding Mods.
2. Next, introduce "OptiFine", which is necessary to use correctly the resource pack.
(Note that there is another procedure to install only OptiFine, but this is different from this)

1. Install Forge

  1. First, create a launch configuration for 1.7.10 and launch it. Open Minecraft (Launcher) and click "Installations" tab in the menu at the top of the "Minecraft: Java Edition" tab. On the next screen, select "+ New" just below. (If you have already started 1.7.10, you can skip this step, go to 1-4.)

  2. Enter any name (for example, “1.7.10 vanilla”) in the "NAME" box and select "release 1.7.10" in the "VERSION" box. Finally, click "Create". At this time, if you want to create a "GAME DIRECTORY" dedicated to 1.7.10 (folder where are stored save data, mods, resource packs, etc.), create an empty folder on the desktop, etc. Browse and select the folder and click "Create".

  3. Click "Play" at the right end of the "1.7.10 vanilla". Or go back to the "Play" tab, select "1.7.10 Vanilla" you just created from the selection box at the bottom of the window, and click "Play" (Both are the same result). Then, Minecraft 1.7.10 in the default state (vanilla) will start. If it starts successfully, end the game.

2. Install OptiFine

  1. Next, install OptiFine as a Forge Mod, so that OptiFine can work together with Forge. Go to OptiFine download site, and download the latest 1.7.10 version (OptiFine 1.7.10 HD U E7) at the bottom of the page.

  2. Open the ".minecraft" folder (if you created the folder yourself as a "game directory", go to 2-4). Open Drive C > User > [User Name], and click the "View" tab on the menu bar. If you check "Hidden file" on the right side, the hidden "AppDate" folder will be displayed.
    3. Explanation Image2-2
  3. Open "AppDate" > "Roaming" and you will find the ".minecraft" folder. There is "mods" folder after installing Forge (if you can't find the "mods" folder, you may have failed to install Forge).
    4. Explanation Image2-3
  4. There should be "1.7.10" folder in the "mods", so click and drag the downloaded OptiFine jar file (if you don't have "1.7.10" folder, create it yourself).
    5. Explanation Image2-4
  5. Start Minecraft again ("1.7.10 Forge"). If OptiFine is displayed in the lower left, you have successfully installed OptiFine in Forge environment!
