I know a lot of the time Optifine isn't compatible with FTB modpacks but I was just wondering if the Direwolf20 1.5 v1.1.3 pack was compatible with Optifine 1.5 in general. I'm pretty sure there's a lot of posts concerning this but I personally couldn't find any. :/
Is Optifine compatible with the Direwolf20 1.5 v1.1.3?

I've seen reports of some truly bizarre stuff in the 1.5.2 packs when Optifine is added. This goes from trivial render foofs to ladders no longer working.
The other thing to consider is that Modular PowerSuits basically runs with a disclaimer saying "never use this with Optifine". That's at least one mod that isn't going to have a good day with it.
As always, attempt at your own risk.

From what I understand in regards to MPS and Optifine is that the two authors don't exactly have the best relationship.
You'll more than likely see this if you use Optifine with MPS.
You shouldn't really need Optifine, regardless. High res texture packs work great with 1.5.2 packs without it.
Is there anything about Optifine you'd really miss?

Dynamic chunk loading. That's the only thing I really still use optifine for. I also don't use MPS, so not a big deal for me.
Also, the ladder bug shouldn't happen with U-D5. So if you use optifine so you can use shaders, your pretty much out of luck on that bug.

Optifine will not help with this. You need to have the 64bit version of Java to allocate more than 1GB to FTB.thanks for the feedback everyoneI personally run a ok computer but I couldn't allocate more than 1 gb of ram to ftb so I was wondering if I could get optifine working for it
Get the 64bit version of Java from this install guide.
You can get Optifine and MPS to work together by disabling the custom render settings in the MPS config. I've got OptiFine/shaders/MPS working in a custom 1.5.2 world without issue. I know it's not DW20, but at least I can confirm that MPS won't be the mod that holds you back if it doesn't work.
Optifine decreases lag and freezing

Yes I know, however later versions of minecraft are working to optimize framerate as standard.
While more powerful computers may not notice a difference, I'm at about the middle where yeah I kind of notice but it's not game breaking.
Well I have a 64 bit computer but I didn't notice I didn't have 64 bit Java
whoops. Thanks for the heads up
