Optifine 1.21.1 – How to get Optifine in Minecraft 1.21.1 (New Update!)
Editor's note: last checked for latest updates on August 8, 2024. The official Optifine 1.21 version is still not available, but you can download the unofficial version.
At the time of writing, Optifine is now available to download for the new Minecraft 1.21 update. However, it is not the official version of the mod but an unofficial version developed by a community member.
The Optifine team recently published a new update letting us know that the mod maker sp614x is currently unable to work on Optifine, so the official release is not yet available and it is unknown when it will be ready. However, there is an unofficial release that has been approved by the mod maker. You can learn more information as well as find the link to the download page by looking at the X post and thread below. Development for OptiFine has been slow recently due to IRL being prioritized right now over mod development (don't speculate on the details, that's none of our business). That is why we ask you to be patient and understanding. There is actually a person behind the mod. — OptiFine (@OptiFineNews) August 7, 2024
