Just like the other versions of Optifine, Optifine 1.16.1 is popular as a client side mod for Minecraft which improves performance and gives you a little bit more control over how the game looks and behaves in a few cases especially on some low performance systems.
This one is actually able to mean the difference between playing with a decent 60 fps and playing with about 10fps or 15fps. For a few people, it is a really helpful mod and it is worth being downloaded. Optifine 1.16.1 is considered as a tool because of its ability to improve the way you play Minecraft and in terms of aesthetic makes the game look better. Both Minecraft Bedrock Edition and Minecraft Java Edition have slightly different changes. The Java one works best and pretty well on low-end systems and even old-PC. Optifine is such an important tool to improve and smooth your Minecraft experience.
