Adding OptiFine

If you are using the Impact Installer as recommended in Installation, you simply need to install an OptiFine version before running the Impact Installer. You can download OptiFine from their website.

Impact Installer will detect any OptiFine versions you have installed, and will offer versions compatible with the Minecraft version you select.

Be sure to install an OptiFine version matching the minecraft version you wish to use Impact on, before running the Impact Installer.

Example installer

Adding OptiFine's tweaker

Versions between 4.0 and 4.5 (and 4.6 1.12.2)
  • Go to
"minecraftArguments": "--username ${auth_player_name} --version ${version_name} --gameDir ${game_directory} --assetsDir ${assets_root} --assetIndex ${assets_index_name} --uuid ${auth_uuid} --accessToken ${auth_access_token} --userType ${user_type} --tweakClass clientapi.load.ClientTweaker",

and add in --tweakClass optifine.OptiFineForgeTweaker to the end of the argument/line like this

  "minecraftArguments": "--username ${auth_player_name} --version ${version_name} --gameDir ${game_directory} --assetsDir ${assets_root} --assetIndex ${assets_index_name} --uuid ${auth_uuid} --accessToken ${auth_access_token} --userType ${user_type} --tweakClass clientapi.load.ClientTweaker --tweakClass optifine.OptiFineForgeTweaker",
Versions from 4.6 (1.13.2) and up

Find the "+tweakers": [] section, it'll look like this:

    "+tweakers": [
        "clientapi.load.ClientTweaker",
        "baritone.launch.BaritoneTweaker"
    ],

Add "optifine.OptiFineForgeTweaker" to the +tweakers array so that it looks like:

    "+tweakers": [
        "clientapi.load.ClientTweaker",
        "baritone.launch.BaritoneTweaker",
	"optifine.OptiFineForgeTweaker" // Add this
    ],

Go to the main instance folder. You should see the .minecraft folder and the patches folder. This means you're in the right folder. In the main folder, create a folder called libraries. In the folder, copy and paste the optifine file that you downloaded. (The name should be something like OptiFine_1.13.2_HD_U_E7.jar.)

When it's completed just restart your launcher and you should have OptiFine.

[Advanced] Have multiple profiles consist of one having OptiFine and the other without

Before the editing impact.json step, you should make a copy of Impact's folder make sure to remember & copy what the folder was named and also rename the impact.json to whatever the folder was named

After done editing impact.json you will want to edit

  "id": "1.12.2-Impact_4.3",

to whatever the folder was named example of mine is

"id": "1.12.2-Impact_4.3-Optifine",

Now restart your launcher and you will find a new profile named whatever the folder was named if you did it correctly
