please add optifine and MC patcher to FTB

[williamisles]

i have had trouble adding HD textures to FTB and i would be very thankful if MC patcher and optifine were added to the next update

I know for sure that optifine can not be added to the pack, because optifine has not given permission for ftb to use their mod in the pack, I don't know for MC patcher.
you can however add optifine yourself to the ftb pack, there are several tutorials around telling you on how to do that.

How to add OptiFine to your mod-pack.

 

[SilvasRuin]

Not to mention OptiFine is very hit or miss and can and does ruin performance for some people rather than help it. Something so volatile is best left out, even if they had obtained permission, especially when they've made it so dang easy to add it in yourself.
(Note that I'm using it with FTB myself and not just bashing it for the sake of bashing it.)

Well they didn't get permissions partly even because of that from what I heard? Cause the optifine author obviously knows that some version work fine for some people, others better for others and for some it doesn't work so well and such.
Also I heard he doesn't want bugs caused by optifine to be known as "FTB bugs" or such

sp614x isn't too keen on letting Optifine being distributed by anyone but himself.

Also, you are posting this in the wrong place. This doesn't belong under texture packs.
