TL;DR: OptiFabric is no longer supported.

Please do not send messages to me, or the Optifine developers demanding fabric support.

The Issue

A little over a week ago I released OptiFabric and it quickly came to my attention that there were some incompatibilities, especially with the shaders mod. I had a large amount of DM/pings letting me know of this.

The issue was tracked down to be an incompatibly with Fabric API's new Rendering API and the implementation called Indigo. To fix the issue correctly knowledge of how Optifine works is required, this is not possible without good knowledge of the fabric rendering API and details on how Optifine works.

I see a few solutions to this issue,

• Official built in support for Fabric in Optifine. I think this is the best solution to the issue and the Optifine Developers should explore the idea further. (More on this later)

• A fix from a developer outside of Fabric or Optifine could create a PR to OptiFabric, I would not mind looking into giving them access over the project if required.

• Don’t use the features that don’t work, not great but it seems to work ok as-is currently.

The best solution

The ideal solution to this whole issue is official support for Fabric from Optifine. OptiFabric has proved that is possible and that users want the feature (5000+ downloads in week!).

I see a few ways this could be made possible:

• Optifine could include parts or the whole of OptiFabric, I see this being the easiest solution as the code already exists and has been proven to mostly work.

• Optifine could become a normal fabric mod that uses mixins. This would require a lot of time and effort from the Optifine Developers but it would allow faster updates to newer Minecraft versions.

If you want to explore this option or just need to ask a few questions feel free to contact me.

The current Situation

As for now I can no longer maintain OptiFabric to the standard that I had intended to, and there will be no updates for the foreseeable future (Unless someone else can take on the challenge). Do not expect any support from Optifine or the Fabric developers if you continue to use this mod.

Thanks for reading this and understanding,

OptiFabric

Optifabric a mod that can be used to run Optifine on the Fabric Mod Loader. It does this by taking the official optifine mod and making it compatible with the Fabric Mod Loader at runtime.

This project does not contain Optifine, you must download it separately!

This project is not related or supported by either Fabric or Optifine.

Installing

After installing fabric for 1.14, you will need to place the OptiFabric mod jar as well as the latest optifine jar from the official optifine website into your mods folder.

Fabric Loader should be the latest version from the Fabric Website.

If you are using Fabric API version 0.2.7 is recommended, you can download it from. Newer (0.3.0+) versions may have issues with shaders, a fix is being worked on.

Issues

If you have any issues please report on the OptiFabric issue tracker that is linked above.
