Installing Optifine on Minecraft 1.12.1 without installing Java on macOS

Arqade Asked by user202637 on December 8, 2020

So I installed Minecraft on my macOS computer. I want to install Optifine as well. When I download Optifine Ultra from its website, I get a .jar file. When I double click on it, I get the following message:

To use the “`java -jar OptiFine_1.12.2_HD_U_C7.jar” command-line tool you need to install a JDK.

Along with this, I get an option to go to the Oracle website to download the 300+MB Java Development Kit.

Is it possible to ‘manually’ install Optifine without having to install the JDK?

One Answer

If you want to install OptiFine manually, you'll need to access the json file from the versions folder, so you'll need to install it either way. If you have a different computer that does have java, install it on that, then go to your versions folder, optifine 1.12.2, and copy the .json file to the same directory on your other computer. That directory won't exist, so you'll need to create it, but it should work fine.
