This mod allows unfair advantages to some people because If u have optifine u can turn off weather (which if u are not in a desert where no weather takes place) then the weather blocks some of your sight distance. Where if u have optifine then you can turn off weather and you will be able to see people when they can't see you unless they too have optifine.

Some people need Optifine. Players that generally get low FPS (10-20) can be boosted to up to 50, which helps them play at the same FPS that players with better computers get. It's almost ridiculous to ban Optifine because people that need it will be put at a major disadvantage. As for turning off weather, it's just another way to lower FPS. Also, Optifine is simple to install and there's nothing stopping you from getting it for yourself.

Well the only weather that takes place is right at the beginning of sg1 for like 10 seconds. Im sure that doesnt provide any kind of unfair advantage :p

Well, technically you could say the same thing about BSM or Nodus :p

But I for one need it.

I mean it's ALLOWED and simple to install, therefor there's absolutely nothing stopping you, not even teh rulez :)

OptiFine is allowed in-game because players who only get 10-20 FPS per game, are gonna have a really hard time killing somebody who gets 500 FPS average per game WITHOUT OptiFine. It only makes things fairer for people with not-so-good computers.

Besides, there's not a lot of features in OptiFine that truly give advantages over other players. There's Zoom, and the render distance thing, but neither of that really matters to be honest.

In the long run the zoom and render distance could boost your advantages of winning on a big map. When someone on far or normal couldn't see you but u could see them

I think the most with the zoom is to just read signs from afar and notice what armor people has from a distance.

You can't zoom in to what's not in your render distance, so they still have to be pretty close for you to zoom.

How is it unfair? Zooming in is a very tiny advantage, if at all. What, you can see peoples armour and read signs, but its not cheating. Running a computer faster is not cheating
