Hey Empire! I don't know if EMC has the Optifine plugin or not, but if they do, call me stupid and please delete this thread. If they don't I would appreciate if it was added, because I am feeling a lot of lag, even after the 1.8 update, and I've asked many others if it was there. So it's not just me. Please help everyone have a better Minecraft experience with no lag . Thanks everyone! EmoryCrafts
Optifine is not compatible with servers. Feel free to install it with their 1 click installer to your client.
I believe Optifine is a client side mod, not a server side plugin. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Optifine is not for servers, just for the clients of the players playing on them.
Is there a way to install Optifine with Forge for versions 1.8.1 and above? Do NOT tell me Google is my friend. I have tried her many times and she doesn't spit out too much good info.
OptiFine isn't really compatible with 1.8 versions of Forge. I'm not really sure what you mean by 'If only Optifine made a thing for Forge', because it's completely up to whether or not the mod was made to work with Forge or work independently.
