   OptiFine

   It provides a zoom, which is cool, not that useful but cool. Mojang doesn't like capes not made by them because they're meant to be special but there is a OptiFine cape section, not one for Lunar therefor I believe Mojang is very much ok with Opti. Also Lunar is overrated and Opti is just a small boost. Lunar has unnecessary features.

   👍 Pros:    Zoom|Cape with banner|No payment besides cape|Can run shaders and texture packs

   👎 Cons:    Cape is $10

• Weird stuff after an install failure

  Maybe give a different launcher a try, I use GDLauncher to run modpacks. Source: over 1 year ago

• Forge doesn't work. please help, i've been trying to fix for ages

  Maybe you could try GDlauncher it allows you to. Source: over 1 year ago

• Mod help

  Personally I use GdLauncher since it's really simple to use, it also automatically installs open jdk for you, something that basically makes the game run better than normal java, and can still manually download mods that have third-party downloads disabled. Source: over 1 year ago

• Important warning for users of the PolyMC mod launcher: Shut down *right now* and don't use it again unless you know exactly what you're doing!

  Which other launchers could I use instead? – The shunted devs have established PlaceholderMC as a temporary official replacement. There's also ATLauncher, GDLauncher, and PolyMC itself was a fork of MultiMC. Source: over 1 year ago

• Modpack Keeps uninstalling

  I like both GDLauncher and PolyMC, but I haven't played much Minecraft since Overwolf bought Curse and made it significantly harder for 3rd party launchers to download packs, so it's possible that it's more difficult to use them these days. Source: over 1 year ago
