Here are some quick instructions on setting up OptiFine. This method uses the most current supported versions of Minecraft and OptiFine. There's another way to do this using Forge which can give you access to some other Forge-based mods, but you have to carefully pick older versions to get things working correctly because the latest versions are not compatible with each other. I may detail that method later.
  1. Make sure you're running the latest version of the Minecraft launcher. The latest version bundles a jull copy of the Java 1.8 VM, and you'll need this. https://minecraft.net/download
  2. Download the MagicLauncher app. http://magiclauncher.com
  3. Download the latest OptiFine for Minecraft 1.8.8. http://optifine.net/downloads
  4. Put the optifine jar somewhere you won't lose it!
  5. Open MagicLauncher.
  6. Click Setup.
  7. Ensure that the 1.8.8 environment and 1.8.8 jar are selected.
  8. Click the "Add" button on the right and find your optifine jar. Once added, you should see it in the mods list with a checkbox selected.
  9. Click the Advanced tab.
  10. Check the box by Java and then click the Select button.
  11. Change "Types of Files" to "All Files" and then navigate into your Minecraft.app/Contents/runtime/jre-x64/1.8.0_60/bin and select the "java" file.
  12. Press OK.
  13. Press Login.

Now Minecraft should be running! Whenever you want to start the game with OptiFine, just use MagicLauncher and press Login instead of using the official Minecraft app.

Once Minecraft is started from MagicLauncher, go to Options: Video Settings. If OptiFine is loaded correctly, you'll see its name and version in the bottom left corner of the screen.

To enable connected glass, set Options: Video Settings: Quality: Connected Textures: Fancy.

Mmmmm.... connected glass....
