Is Optifine compatible with the Direwolf20 1.5 v1.1.3?

[jskh1999]

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. :/

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.

Spoiler

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.

Is Optifine the only mod/patch that provides dynamic chunk loading?

 

[Eyamaz]

That I know of, yes. You don't really need it for smp though, as your still going to be limited by the capabilities and settings of the server.

thanks for the feedback everyone I 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 thanks

 

[Succubism]

Ah, yeah that'd be an issue.
I've allocated 4GB to mine. (Probably too much, but it works okay for me)

Optifine will not help with this. You need to have the 64bit version of Java to allocate more than 1GB to FTB.

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.

For me, I need Optifine to also provide CTM and random textures. Makes things much more varied/"natural".

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
