How to install Optifine, Shaders into the Modpack:

1. Download Optifine 1.12.2  here

2. Open the modpacks mods folder (This is done by pressing the three horizontal dots by the play button on the curse forge app).

3. Place the Optifine 1.12.2 Jar file into the folder.

4. Install a shader pack (Preferably Complementary shaders here).

5. Open the shaderpacks folder which is located in the same file location as the mods folder.

6. Place the downloaded ZIP file into the folder.

7. I would also recommend having Profile set High and RP Support set Intergrated Vanilla+
