[Bug] Optifine crashes with Forge

[YussufMAbbas]

Description of Issue

Optifine always crashes when using it as a mod with Forge, this happened to me across a lot of MC versions but I ignored it... until now

Steps to Reproduce

Install Forge with Optifine

OptiFine Version

OptiFine_1.20.1_HD_U_I5

Installation Method

Using installer and choosing "Extract", then moving the mod to /mods

Forge Version

1.20.1-forge-47.0.35, however, this happens across many - if not all - MC versions

Other Installed Mods

Dynamic Music - dynmus-v2.3.2+1.20-forge

Log Files/Crash Reports

latest.log

I cannot find a crash report

Prior Testing

• Does this happen without other mods installed?
  • Yes, it happens even if all other mods are removed and only Optifine and Forge are remaining
• Does this happen without any mods at all?
  • No, it doesn't happen, Forge can run without any mods installed
• Does this happen in OptiFine standalone?
  • No, the game runs without any problems.
• Does this happen in Vanilla without OptiFine?
  • No, it doesn't
• Have you tried using a binary search to find which mods cause this issue?
  • Technically yes, it's a single mod excluding Optifine
• Does the issue still happen with only the remaining mods installed?
  • No, it doesn't

Additional Information

Again, this has happened across numerous MC versions, ranging from 1.12 all the way up to 1.20.1. I didn't try all of the versions but I did try a lot of the versions in this range.

Please try testing with only Forge and OptiFine, without Dynmus.
