Make Minecraft Look Good, Again

[coden1ke]

Download the latest version of Forge: http://files.minecraftforge.net/

Now double click on the Forge application you just downloaded and install, I kept all default values. 
Run minecraft, click on Launch options > Turn on Advanced settings.
Now click on Latest Forge below and turn on JVM arguments. Clear all text inside the field and then add -Xmx3G. 
With that completed jump into any game local or multiplayer to test that the forge works. 

 

Go and download the latest version of optifine: http://optifine.net/downloads

Now double click on the optifine application you just downloaded and install, I kept all default values. 
Once finished with installing launch minecraft and launch it as Optifine.
Once successfully launched close minecraft and place the the Optifine application into the mods folder found in your %appdata% then > .minecraft/mods

 

Now you want to find yourself a shaderpack, just make sure it is for version 1.12. 

You can find shaderpacks here: http://shadersmods.com/category/shaderpacks/ (I am using Continuum Shader)
Once the shaderpack has downloaded go ahead and place it in the shaders folder found in your %appdata% then > .minecraft/shaderpacks

 

Next you want to launch your game, select the version of Forge you installed and get yourself into a game. 

To enable the shader hit Esc > Options > Video Settings > Shaders... (Now select your shaderpack)

 

You should be all set, I hope that worked out for ya!

PS. I use the x256 PureBDcraft with all this. Makes it looks real nice. Find it here: http://bdcraft.net/purebdcraft-minecraft
