Installing Optifine onto Tekkit Lite

[Metabloxer]

I made this as a response to someone having trouble installing optifine onto the tekkit lite pack. This was the post I put, then decided it deserved it's own thread:

"Alright, i'm going to pretend to be a expert on this for a second, bear with me.

To install optifine onto tekkit lite, you must first get to the modpacks folder. from the technic laumncher, select "Tekkit lite" and hover over it.

You should see a gear icon. open this up and select "open folder". Assuming the modpack is installed, you should see a "bin" folder. Open this and you should see the "minecraft" jar file. Very important, useful, and is the core of how minecraft works.

Ignore that file. use a archiving file to open the "modpack" jar file. Optifine for the CORRECT version (most likely not the most recent version) must be unzipped and the files must be added to the "modpack" jar file.

What version minecraft depends on the tekkit lite release. One way to check is to either look at the mods in the "mods" folder to see their version, or to open minecraft and use f3.

I can't say what version to use because I want this to be a general guide, not just a guide for this version."

If you get a gray screen when you start the game that means that you did one of these, or both of them:

1) You have the wrong version of optifine (It is Optifine 1.4.6 for Tekkit Lite 0.6.5)

2) You put optifine in the minecraft.jar instead of the modpack.jar

If you still are having problems with the gray screen, then try deleting the META-INF from inside the modpack.jar

Only do this if you have backed up your modpack.jar and have already tried steps 1 and 2.
