2. Long press over it until options appear then select 'Extract as zip'.

3. Navigate back up one directory level in your device's storage by tapping three dots at top right corner followed by Internal Storage > Android > Obb.

4. Create a new folder called com.Mojang (if not already present). Inside this create another named com.mojang.optfine if it doesn't exist yet.

3. Scroll down until you see an option labeled as 'Resource Packs'. Make sure it's enabled if not already done so far!

4. Now, tap the three dots next to '+' sign located below list of available packs; from context menu that opens up choose 'Open File Explorer'.

### Adding OptiForge Pack

-------------------------------------------------------------

From there:

1. Navigate back out two levels in your device's storage until you reach Internal Storage > Android > Obb again.

2. Find the folder named com.Mojang (created earlier) and locate optfine.jar inside it within that same directory too!

3. Drag & drop this .jar file over into Minecraft PE game window while holding down 'Share' button on your device's toolbar; confirm when asked whether you really want to add these resources.

### Enabling OptiForge Graphics

-------------------------------------------------------------

Once added:

1. Exit the game completely by going back through app drawer or pressing Home key twice.

2. Re-launch Minecraft PE and enter the world where you applied optifine graphics earlier (if needed).

3. Press 'Esc' button on controller or use shoulder buttons + direction pad left at same time to open ingame menu; then click 'Graphics'.

### Adjusting OptiForge Settings

-------------------------------------------------------------

In the Graphics settings:

- You'll see several options available under 'Optifinity'. Experiment with these until you find a balance between performance and visual quality that suits your taste!

Tips & Tricks for Better Performance:

1. Keep in mind that higher graphics settings will consume more device resources (RAM, CPU).
