OptiFine is a Minecraft optimization mod.

It was designed to overhaul Minecraft’s lighting and rendering systems to increase their efficiency and visibility. It allows Minecraft to run faster and look better with full support for HD textures and many configuration options.

You can donate to OptiFine and receive an OptiFine cape. The cape is visible to everyone using OptiFine.

Many of OptiFine’s visual and performance enhancements can be configured through Video Settings in the Options menu.
