I felt that this thread was needed for us Mac users.
Here is a simple guide to increase your FPS!
#1. I highly suggest getting Optifine.
Optifine is a mod (allowed on the MSG servers) that can allow you to zoom in by holding down 'control'
You can also have more options to higher render distances if your computer can handle that.
#2. I would say this is one of your last resorts if you really want to have at least 5-10 fps gained. This website, down below has plenty of simple texture packs that'll boost your games FPS.

#3. Your render distance is one of the main things that can cause your game to lag. I suggest (with your optifine on) to keep your render distance around 5-10 depending on what works best for you. If you decide to download optifine, you can use your zoom instead of higher render distance for finding more players.
#4. Once you've done all this and you're still getting some FPS drops from time to time, I suggest clicking esc. whilst in Minecraft, Video Settings, and then at the top right you'll see max frame rate. You need to put it down to half way, go back in-game, then go back into it and choose unlimited. This helps me by removing some little lag spikes.
#5. Don't have other applications open that you aren't using! This has a major impact in your FPS. For example, sometimes play minecraft while rendering videos, I'm obviously going to go down to up to 20 FPS. Or having photoshop/cinema 4d open while playing.
#6. Add more ram into your minecraft! (video below explains to you how.)
Please comment below any tips of how to get better FPS in the replies and I'll add it to the list!
Hopefully this helped you! Have a great day! ^-^
