Question

In servers like Jartex network it doesn't allow me to zoom, I downloaded everything. What should I do?

Community Answer

Maybe they don't allow you to zoom as it is banned. You should check with the owner of the server.

Question

Do I need to an original Minecraft to use it?

Community Answer

You only need to download the version that works with your version. For example, if you want Optifine for Minecraft 1.12, you would need Optifine version 1.12.

Question

Why would Minecraft zoom in for no reason if I don't have a mod?

Community Answer

It doesn't. Either you accidentally pressed the zoom key, or you do have a mod on.

Question

What to do in Java Edition? My sister did something and I've tried many buttons to undo it but the zoom in won't go away! It just stays zoomed in and it's hard for me to play.

Check the FOV in settings. It scales from 0-110, with the default being around 70.

Can this work on Minecraft Pocket Edition too?

Verin

Top Answerer

Yes, there are versions of Optifine that exist for mobile devices. Alternatively, you can zoom without downloading any external programs by changing the FOV (field of view) in Settings.

Question

Is the file dangerous to my device?

Playercircuit

Community Answer

It should not be any danger to your device. Make sure your Optifine is coming from optifine.net, not any other website.
