so I installed optfine into my forge, I am playing 1.16.3. However, optifine does not appear in my mods list and does not appear in options in-game,

Yes, it is still not a Forge mod. It is a launcher plugin.

The log shows Optifine loading.

There is nothing unusual here.

hmm maybe I'm looking in the wrong spot in the options, where would that be then?

It's been a long time

I don't know, I don't use Optifine. You'd have to ask the Optifine people.

future reference, 

I looked up some things and found out that I had to click on the download to extract it using java, i guess? idk but i had to click on it, which I didn't know since it has a java icon. Anyway, then you put it in the mods folder and THEN it shows up in your mods list

I don't know wtf you are talking about.

if you click the optifine thing that downloads when you download it, there are two options: install and extract

if you extract it's used as a mod like any other

if you install it give you it's own installation profile

Optifine is not a Forge mod so it won't show in the list!
