Installing Optifine
How to Install OptiFine (taken from online)
Optifine allows you to run Minecraft smoother as well as have easier and more reliable access to our resource and texture packs, Optifine somehow allows our resource/texture packs to work more effectively on our servers, we recommend all users run Optifine for the performance benefits and this in mind.
With our server you can use any client that supports Optifine, I would recommend using the latest Optifine version. NOTE: you need to make sure you run the same version of the release as Optifine for it to run, eg 1.19.2 Optifine requires 1.19.2 default client downloaded to work.
