Installing Optifine for 1.6.1?

[LaxTerrier]

Hello,
As you know, Minecraft 1.6.1 was recently released. Awesome update!
However, I used about half of my day trying to figure out how to install
optifine for it. My bin is currently my old one, with optifine installed. However,
that wont transfer to the new launcher you had to download. In conclusion,
does anyone know how to install optifine for 1.6.1?
Thanks so much!

If you look under Optifine's thread on the minecraft forums, they're only at about 15% done with the update for 1.6.1. It should be out soon. Don't download from any other site claiming to have the 1.6.1 update... only from either optifine or it's thread on the mc forums.

Thanks so much, but I was more interested in actually how to install it. I believe my bin in corresponding to my old minecraft launcher, not the new one that you had to install. Any clue about that?

I actually don't remember how to install it off the top of my head. But if you search on youtube for tutorial vids, that's what walked me through it. Good luck!

Oh, I'm sorry I misunderstood your question. You'll have to wait for optifine to release the newest update for 1.6.1 in order for it to be compatible to install for the new update to 1.6.1.

Shame my new Minecraft launcher refuses to work, I was working on something special!

Installing mods like OptiFine are very different for 1.6.1. See my new thread that im going to post soon on how to install it!

Heres what you need to do, first locate your versions folder, then open the 1.6.1.jar with WinRar, 7zip etc. Then drag all the optifine .class files into the 1.6.1 jar, finally, make sure all the files are in the .jar and simply close the window. Run minecraft and enjoy. Just a Quick note to remember is that the bin folder is no longer required to download mods, it's simply there because of the old update. ex. If someone buys minecraft when it's updated to 1.6.1 then they wouldn't have the bin folder because they never downloaded it when the bin folder was still included, I suggest you ignore the bin folder, it's no longer needed for the modding process, although optifine hasn't been released yet, I'm positive it will work

Optifine isn't available for 1.6?...
