TheBreakdown, the team behind SimpleGameHosting, aims to reach OptiFine parity faster than OptiFine itself updates, so players on new releases keep their performance and graphics settings.
Loaders and versions
- Fabric: Minecraft 1.20.2 to 26.3.
What NotiFine includes

- Strives to reach OptiFine parity as quickly as possible on new releases.
- Quality-of-life extras such as zoom and capes.
- Works with most other Fabric mods, so you can expand the pack as you like.
- No changes needed on the server side.
How to install NotiFine
A Modrinth modpack needs a launcher that imports Modrinth packs, such as the Modrinth App or Prism Launcher. The launcher downloads the listed mods and the right loader for you. The general steps are in our modpack install guide.
- 1.Open the NotiFine page on Modrinth.
- 2.Install it through the Modrinth App, or import the .mrpack file into Prism Launcher.
- 3.Add other Fabric mods to the same profile if you want more.
Who it suits
Pick NotiFine if you left OptiFine behind because it lags on new releases and you still want zoom, capes and tuned graphics. Parity is a stated goal, not a promise of every OptiFine feature on day one.
