The first step is to download and install Fabric for Minecraft 1.20, OptiFine HD, and OptiFabric, each from its respective official site on your computer. You need to ensure that you have the Java application installed on your PC before you do that, though.

Once all three programs are installed, open Fabric Installer with Java(TM) Platform SE binary. Make sure that 1.20 is selected for Minecraft and that the Loader is the most recent version. Now click on install.

After that, open your Minecraft Launcher to find the Installation tab. Click on it, and you may see Fabric Loader. If you do not see it, then just follow these steps to use OptiFabric:

1) Click on Installation and type the name Fabric Optifine 1.20.

2) In the Version tab, search for your Fabric Loader version, select it, and click on Create.

3) Now hover over to the folder icon to the right of the Fabric name you just created and click on it. Now, if you find a folder named Mods, then click on it. Otherwise, create a new folder named Mods and open it. Now drag and drop the OptiFine and OptiFabric files that you downloaded into it.

Now, you will be able to launch your game on your system.
