I got the Optifine from the official site when I tried to run it, the message came up: This app can't be run on the PC. What should I do now?
Do you have the Minecraft Java Edition?
Do you have Forge installed?
The version of Forge that matches the version of Optifine?
Does Minecraft itself show any errors?
How do you try to "install" the mod?
1. Yes
2. What is it?
3?
4. Windows showing nothing from minecraft
To install mods for Minecraft you need Forge. Then you choose a version that fits Optifine and install it.
Forge is, so to speak, an extension for Minecraft, with which you can load mods like Optifine.
Then you go to the Minecraft folder, create, if not available, a folder called "Mods" and copy Optifine into it.
Then you select Forge in the Minecraft Launcher or add the Forge version if it is not displayed (just as you add other Minecraft versions). Then it should work.
Optifine is not a game of its own, but a mod (something like a plugin or an extension) that changes Minecraft.
Addition to 4 After I downloaded it and double-clicked on the file "do" I get the message that it can't be executed
You can't start it with a double click either: / You need Forge to use Optifine.
Forge is an expansion for Minecraft that makes it possible to change things in the game. To do this, programmers write small programs that are based on Minecraft, which can be loaded using Forge (not by double-clicking). These little programs are called mods. Therefore, if you want to use the mods, you need Forge.
Forge looks for the mods in a folder on your PC. Have to take a quick look to see which one it is.

You need Forge to play minecraft with mods (Download Link: http://files.minecraftforge.net/...orge.net/). Get the version you want to play Optifine on and the right version of Optifine
No, you don't need to. And if the problem is with Optifine, the Forge installation will fail just like that.
Really? Because that's how it works for me.
Have looked, both are possible
What is the file extension of the downloaded Optifine?
Tha'ts what I meant.
I have saved the file as soon as I click on it because the PC can't do it. An installer opens for YT Video. What should I do?
At the end of the file name is .exe, .jar, .msi or something else?
Optifine doesn't need a forge. On the contrary, Optifine does not initially work at all with completely new versions with Forge until it has been specially adapted for this.
You don't need Forge for Optifine
To install Optifine you need Java.

Then Windows can also open jar files such as Optifine.
You don't need a forge for that.
Do you have Java installed too?
Right click → open with → Java (TM) Platform SE binary
If he's already played Minecraft, he should already have Java, I think he just has to open the file with Java
Solved the problem, just installed Jarfix
I solved the problem simply installed Jarfix
No, you don't have to install Java to play Minecraft. Minecraft now comes with its own Java version.
Also clicked.
You don't need a forge for Optifine.
