	After you set up the launcher, you need to create an instance. I prefer '''[https://www.minecraft.net/en-us Minecraft]''' 1.8 for casual play because it is simpler. I like playing multiplayer on PVP servers. After choosing the version, select '''[https://files.minecraftforge.net/ Forge]''' in mod loader section.

	After being sure the game launches correctly, it is time to optimize it further. Firstly try to install '''[https://www.azul.com/downloads/?package=jre#zulu Zulu Java]'''.

	After that give the game more RAM and try using different Java command line arguments. [https://birdflop.com/resources/flags/ Here] is a command line argument generator with most widely used settings by others.

== Installing and Optimizing Minecraft 1.8 (and later versions) ==
[[File:PrismLauncher.png|thumb|339x339px|Screenshot of the Prism Launcher]]
Firstly, do not use the official client. It is harder to manage your mod packs that way. Instead, use something like [https://github.com/PrismLauncher/PrismLauncher Prism Launcher] or its forks that pop up occasionally that bypasses the account checks and allows you to use 3rd party skin providers. The most recent one I know is Freesm Launcher.

After you set up the launcher, you need to create an instance. I prefer Minecraft 1.8 for casual play because it is simpler. I like playing multiplayer on PVP servers. After choosing the version, select Forge in mod loader section. You might have luck with NeoForge (the Forge fork) but they mentioned they might be removing backwards compatibility with Forge. If you are going to play recent versions of the game (anything that is >=1.14) prefer Fabric mod loader and Fabulously Optimized mod pack which handles most optimizations we are going to do by itself. Try to pick the latest version on LWJGL stuff if it asks.

After being sure game launches correctly, it is time to optimize it further. Firstly try to install [https://www.azul.com/downloads/?package=jre#zulu Zulu Java]. It is a modified version of Java from a company called Azul. After that give the game more RAM and try using different Java command line arguments. [https://birdflop.com/resources/flags/ Here] is a command line argument generator with most widely used settings by others. Install and enable Game Mode. It makes your OS prioritize Minecraft instead of other software that may not need immediate processing power.

Test if game launches with the new settings you did. If it does not work you can always check logs to see what is wrong. Then try to install these mods:

* OptiFine: The most essential mod you will need. It handles so many things I can't explain everything in this list.

* Patcher: Closes the gap where OptiFine isn't enough. Like OptiFine, it has so many options. It brings another mod with itself called Essential, but it is just bloat so you may need to disable it from its settings or set up Not So Essential mod.

* Foam Fix: It fixes memory usage especially on mod packs with many mods.

* Tex Fix: It reduces the memory footprint of Minecraft textures.

* Phosphor Legacy: Port of Phosphor form recent versions of the game to 1.8. It reduces the heavy load of lightning mechanics in the game.

* Better FPS: The name already describes it.

* HitDelayFix: Fixes your hits not registering because of a 1.8 change. It may be counted as cheating in some servers so always check if it is allowed. (Lunar Client enables it by default)

Read the descriptions of all mods from their official pages. Check their settings and modify it to your liking. Research about the decisions you can make. And after all of that, BACKUP YOUR CONFIGS to be able to move between setups easier.

After setting up everything as you like. It is time to install a texture pack. Based on your use case there are many texture packs you can use.
