[Guide] - How to install 5Zig Mod & Optifine (all threads in one)

[TopComp]

Hello there!
I think you already know 5Zig Mod and Optifine. Sadly, it's a bit harder now to "put them together".
NOTE: This only works with Minecraft 1.15.2.

1) Downloading Minecraft 1.15.2.
First we need to start Minecraft 1.15.2. After it opens, you can close it.

2) Installing Fabric Mod Loader

Then we need to install Fabric Mod Loader. Go to https://fabricmc.net/use/ and click on "Download installer (Windows/.EXE)". Then it should download an .exe file (fabric-installer-[numbers]).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Open it. A "Fabric Installer" window should open. Make sure that the selected "Minecraft Version" is 1.15.2. Then click on "Install".
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After this, open your Minecraft, and you should be able to see a new version called "fabric-loader-1.15.2". If you see it, you can close Minecraft, and follow the next step

3) Downloading 5Zig
Go to https://5zigreborn.eu/downloads/ and click on "5zig-Reborn-1.15.2-[numbers]-Fabric.jar".

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You will be then redirected to the download page. All you need to do is click on the "skip" button, and the download should start. (the name of the file is "5zig-Reborn-1.15.2-[numbers]-Fabric.jar"). After you download it, move it to your desktop. We will use it later.

4) Downloading Optifine

Go to https://optifine.net/adloadx?f=preview_OptiFine_1.15.2_HD_U_G1_pre18.jar&x=bd7d and click on "Download preview". After you download it, move it to the desktop.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now go to https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/optifabric/files and download the latest 1.15.2 version. Move it to desktop.

5) Installing

Now press "Windows Button + R". A "Run" window should open. Now write %appdata% in it, and click "Ok". A new window should open. Now find a folder called ".minecraft" and open it. Then create a new folder called "mods". Now open it, and move all three mods you downloaded (Optifabric, 5Zig, Optifine) to the "mods" folder.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now open your Minecraft, and start "fabric-loader-1.15.2". All mods should be working now
I hope I helped you <3

Great guide!

 

[Hallideadly]

This is way more confusing and hard to do than any redstone machine I have created. Way to much for me for figure out. I do not have optifine and no clue what 5zig is.. Messing with my computer programs is a big mistake.

TopComp bad, stole my idea. :|

Even though you beat me making this guide it’s still better than I could’ve done.

 

[lindseyxs]

This guide helped me out a whole bunch thanks top!

 

[Jackehh]

I've heard fabric and lithium also reduce the lag, thanks for sharing!

 

[CMMDiamondz]

How does this compare to Badlion? Any idea?

I tripled my fps

You do have to be careful cause it will drop it if you deck out your HUD to much.

Okay, so I installed 5zig reborn on skybounds in 1.14.4 but I could not get optifine to install with it. I don't know if I did something wrong, or what. Is there any other way to improve my fps? Even when my ping is decent, my fps can be terrible... and idk what to do about it. Also I wanted to add a map, but I couldn't find one that would work with the new 5-zig (of course waypoints and entities would be turned off). Any suggestions/ideas?

 

[Error_null]

From what i've seen with others you are unable to download optifine and 5zig reborn together at this time. Regarding the minimap etc i'm not too sure about that.

 

[Nutel1a]

I'm not 100% sure on this as I don't use 5zig, but I'm pretty sure that if you use forge and have 5zig, optifine, and a mini map mod in a mods folder and run mc on forge you can have all 3 of them up. I haven't tested it but that should work. If you need help you can always DM me or use online tutorials.

 

[tiger_ambassador]

Im pretty sure you can, when you download 5zig there should be a screen where you can select additional clients. If you select optifine that you downloaded, it'll install it together

I tried that but minecraft kept crashing after I tried to start it. I even tried it with a different version.

Tried this too, just kept crashing when I tried to open it (even before adding 5zig, with just forge and optifine, and using the preferred optifine version. I'll just live without optifine for now. I got 5zig to work at least (by itself) which makes me happy.

Maybe try giving it more RAM? That might help it load.

Hmm, then I'm not too sure. Im honestly such a noob at these things... It took me ages making that 5zig guide, barely figured out myself xD

As far as I know, Optifine doesn’t work with 5zig
