I’m trying to install Optifine on a Linux Mint Cinnamon laptop. Minecraft Java edition of course.

The game works and has been launched in version 1.20.1, but the Optifine installer keeps saying that I need run version 1.20.1 first.

Also, the installer is already pointing at the correct directory as default, but when I browse the location from the installer, I can’t see or set the .minecraft directory manually.

What to do?

    Do you have a .var/app directory?

    If so, welcome to Flatpak. Your “real” .minecraft directory will likely be somewhere under there.

    (but honestly no idea why you’d go with optifine considering the better ones that exist nowadays)
