Optifine for Minecraft 1.19 update: How to download, file size, installation guide and more

Optifine mod has finally been released for the Minecraft 1.19 update. Since Mojang dropped The Wild Update on June 7, many players wanted to play the game with the famous graphics and performance mod.

Unfortunately, the mod was not ready to support the latest game version. However, the developers have finally released a new updated mod that'll work with the 1.19 version of the game.

Optifine is one of the most famous mods in Minecraft. It greatly enhances the overall graphical performance while keeping the original look of the game intact. It also helps load chunks faster and drastically increases FPS. Players can even download different shaders and install them through the mod.
