    @_Confederacy_ All optimize does is increase your fps...

    Well not only that, it also allows you to see clearly underwater and to have dynamic lighting (torches emitting light when held in hand) And the bility to zoom the screen. So one may argue that optifine also gives an unfair advantage to players.

  3. ^^^

  4. optifine gives an advantage in factions since its easier to find underwater bases(if they used a cobble etc to block up the water then you can see it)

    This isnt factions

    You can already see underwater with night vision pots

  7. well slat sorry, e.g. someone builds an underwater base not exposed to the world, optifine helps you thee the thing he used to block up the water

  8. Why are you trying to point out the downsides of Optifine like you want it banned?

  9. We do not want it banned, we are just pointing out that it does more than just increase your framerate

  10. I feel like its worth pointing out that using shaders in the dark is harder than normal, even with the dynamic light hand torch. Areas not exposed to light are literally pitch black, whereas normally you can see pretty well with brightness on maximum. But in the day oh! So damn pretty.

    -image-

  11. Yes but most people do not use shaders...

  12. The torch in hand light wont work without them. That effect is an effect of the shader itself, not optifine.

  13. No as of the latest version of optifine the dynamic light works regardless of the shaders

  14. Well if it does I never noticed it

  15. The "zoom" is only a manipulation of the normal field of view. Dynamic lighting has existed in shaders for a considerable amount of time. I don't really see what pointing out either of these things has to do with the mod in question. Even if 5zig has features like this, Optifine's features are still purely cosmetic.

    Cosmetic features can give unfair advantages compared to players that do not have them. For example the clear water makes it easier to see underwater and therefore gives the player an advantage compared to others who do not have clear water.

  17. I'm quitting if optifine was ever to be banned for use on this server lmao
    Like no

    Optifine isn't going to be banned.
    It is correct that it does provide some minor advantages to players that use it however like with most rules it is a matter of reasonability and the benefits of allowing it far outweigh the trivial negatives.

  19. And even if it was banned, there would be no certain way of telling if players are using it or not.

  20. With respect, I think we should focus on the mod labelled in the title, and not optifine. That is what Mix wanted to know about

  21. Thanks BoneChi11er
