Really good PC, but terrible lag and fps on minecraft

Whenever I want to enjoy some bedwars or skywars on hypixel, I get garbage frames and random lag spikes that happen every 5 seconds that last about .5 seconds. I've looked up every thing from allocating ram to Minecraft to setting Java as real-time or high priority. none of them work. I also installed badlion, lunar client, ect. None of them seemed to help with fps or lag. I also looked through every setting on Minecraft from vsync to render distance and I followed a YouTube tutorial to get the best frames, but it was the same. the best frames I can get max is between 30 to 130 with alot of lag in between. I tried putting my Nvidia graphics card to performance and not quality, still didn't help. Also tried to see if Minecraft was running on my gpu and not some other thing, but it was running on the right one. Everyone keeps saying Minecraft only matters about cpu, but mine is good if not great and it should run it easily. Now to the connection part, I live in the US and get around 30 to 70 ping in hypixel and I have an Ethernet connection. I'm the only one on my wifi. Any tips from anyone I just want to start playing hypixel again but it seems impossible. I will list my PC specs below:

9th Gen Intel® Core™ i7 9700K

Windows 10 Home

NVIDIA® GeForce® RTX 2080 SUPER™ 8GB GDDR6 (OC Ready)

16GB Dual Channel HyperX™ FURY DDR4 XMP at 2933MHz

1TB M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD

I also have 16 gb of ram

How much RAM have you allocated to the game?

I have 16 gb of ram and alot of videos online say to put around 1/3 or 1/4 of your ram into Minecraft. I put in 4.5 on badlion

It works perfectly well (no stuttering), I have no idea why anyone would recommend you limit it so much.

I'm pretty sure because your processor needs ram to run so they say to put the ram low on mc

No shaders right? Shaders tank FPS pretty hard. Normally I get over 100 FPS but shaders bring me down to 50ish on 18 render distance.
