You're pretty much the only person on the internet making good optifine tutorials

[PoorMustang]

Very useful, as a noob with CEM I feel like I learned a lot. It's kind of weird how communities like this form. Same as Skyrim's modding - people just love the idea of enhancing or tweaking the game just because. We're wasting our lives learning how to work with these restrictions and gain skills that might be worthless.
(Technically you can do commissions, transfer to other software in order to create more complicated stuff or downright take things into your own hands and create a game yourself...)

The video was great, useful and inspiring.

I spent an hour trying to make skinned armor stands doing this with it not working, watched the name section probably 20 times and came to realize my .properties said "skin" instead of "skins" 😂
Great video, just about the only thing out there like it
