By default, Optifine can cause graphical issues with TFC+ due to the rendering methods used. Without proper configuration most performance functions cannot be used. Firstly, [https://optifine.net/downloads download optifine]. Make sure to get the 1.7.10 version OptiFine HD U E7 (latest 1.7.10 version). You'll need to click show all versions. You'll now want to download [https://github.com/Rexhunter99/TFC-Basic-Shaders Basic TFC+ Shaders] also available in [[addons]]. Starting the game up with optifine installed will let it create the folders it needs. You should now see \AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\tfc\shaderpacks. Unzip the shader into this folder, as a single folder (and not as loose files). You'll want to start minecraft and open the settings to select the basic TFC shaders for optifine, and then configure certain settings. Specifically set 'Advanced OpenGL: Fancy', 'Chunk-Loading: Multi-Core', 'Smooth FPS: On', 'Smooth World: Off', 'Fast Math: On'. More information is available on the shader github page.

You'll optionally want to download [https://github.com/Rexhunter99/TFC-Basic-Shaders Basic TFC+ Shaders] also available in [[addons]]. Starting the game up with optifine installed will let it create the folders it needs. You should now see \AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\tfc\shaderpacks. Place the shader zip into this folder. You'll want to start minecraft and open the video settings to configure optifine. Set 'Advanced OpenGL: Fancy', 'Smooth World: On', 'Fast Math: On'. You will have to choose between setting Chunk-Loading to 'Multi-core' or 'Smooth'.  


Please note that the shader itself introduces occasional visual glitches that can be resolved by refreshing the shader. The hotkey for this is '''F3+R'''. Remember this hotkey, you'll be needing it.
Multi-core will result in higher performance but introduce z-fighting issues to tall grass (among other visual bugs). You can remedy this by turning on the aforementioned shader, though the shader itself introduces other visual bugs relating to mobs turning red after being struck and the hoe tool overlay. These glitches can be temporarily resolved by refreshing the shader. The hotkey for this is '''F3+R'''. Remember this hotkey, you'll be needing it.
 
Alternatively, "Smooth" chunk rendering results in marginally less performance but is completely free of visual glitches.


''For users of Nvidia graphics cards, especially on laptops, there is an extra step. You must go into the Nvidia control panel and set Java JRE/Minecraft to use the Nvidia graphics card. This is easier when minecraft is running as it'll go up to the top. You'll know it is set correctly when the optifine shader selection screen displays the name of your dedicated graphics card.'' '''If you followed the alternative JRE's method presented above, you must do this step for the JRE you downloaded.'''
