Optifabric not finding Optifine

Yes the installer installs the profile or extracts the mod which is needed here
Not sure what you’ve been smoking, but in all my time of using optifabric, I’ve never run the optifine installer, and it still works fine. The OPs issue is the Optifine jar he has is named incorrectly, that’s all. In fact, you can confirm you don’t need to extract since Optifine can be installed to the mods folder with Forge, WITHOUT installing.
And yes, I have tried without the better third person mod, it still says that optifabric could not find optifine regardless of the presence of BetterThirdPerson
Rename your optifine jar to OptiFine_1.18.1_HD_U_H4.jar, that should fix your issue. Thats the official Jar name, which works for me.
You shouldn’t need to run the installer with Optifabric… the installer is for the Optifine profile.
Make sure to use extract option in OptiFine installer it worked for me. I use 1.16.5 and extracted OptiFine is 5-6MB, the not extracted jar is larger like 15MB. In your case I see the file is the large one so I suspect you didn't extract it.
ok for some reason right now the optifine website is down so it will take a while for me to be able to try this, however I have used optifine with other mods before trying optifabric, can't remember how, but I have never used the extract function so I can't see that being the solution

If you look in the screenshots, I am pretty sure that is the name already present, however, instead, for me, it was
OptiFine-1.18.1_HD_U_H4.jar instead of OptiFine_1.18.1_HD_U_H4.jar. regardless, I changed the - to a _ but the issue still persists. idk if you saw the name in the screenshot before offering this answer but ye this answer didn't work.

Ye I got the optifine jar from the installation folder of optifine in the minecraft launcher by pressing install and not extract. I'll try this to make sure tho.
