Hey, I signed up for these forums specifically for this help, so please don't fail me!
First off, I'm on a MacBook Pro, in single player mode, and have no mods. I've played Minecraft for years and I was playing just last night with no issues. I opened up the game today and first of all, it was raining flaming zombies (fixed). I played for a little bit with no more issues, then I went into my mine. As I was using an iron pickaxe on cobblestone, the blocks would continually reappear until finally they would drop as an item after the seventh destruction of said block. Once it dropped, I attempted to pick it up, and couldn't. My inventory was nearly empty since I had recently died, so that wasn't the problem. It was only cobblestone so I didn't worry, but I couldn't pick up anything else, either. As I went deeper into the mine (that I had already created a few days earlier) I stumbled upon, well, nothing. The world was blank, I saw the sky and stars and where a horizon would be if there were blocks. Keep in mind I was underground at bedrock level (never had this issue before) and no matter what I did it wouldn't load. Also, when I've exited out of the game, the application "MinecraftLauncher" would not quit without a force quit from the activity monitor. The game itself exits fine.
So I've been attempting to fix this all day. I've restarted my computer, restarted the game, adjusted settings, opened nothing but the game, looked all over the internet, and racked my brain for solutions. I've come up with nothing. Then I tried opening after another computer restart, and now when I select my world it goes to the "Loading world, building terrain" screen, then goes right back to the menu screen to select single or multiplayer. I can go in circles with that.
I have no idea how to fix this. I'm new to Macs, and if it's a corrupt file I would appreciate a walk through on how to delete it safely.
Thanks for reading this ridiculously long post, I found all of these problems separately, but nothing about all of them happening at once.
Edit: I can open the worlds I have created, and have opened them multiple times but the one I've been playing still didn't open--oh, look at that, on the fifth try it did. But I still have all the same problems.
It sounds like your world is corrupt. You can try to repair it with MCEdit. To download MCEdit, go to http://www.mcedit.net/ and choose the version appropriate for your OS.
With Minecraft closed, open the offending world in MCEdit, press 'ctrl-i' and select 'Repair regions' in the dialogue which pops up. Once this has completed, save your world and exit MCEdit.

Unfortunately that didn't work. I'm gonna try it again to see if it'll do anything else, but I appreciate your effort to help! My other worlds don't really do this so I guess I'll just make a new one and start over if the a couple tries don't do anything.
I know what it's from. Since 1.3 Full Relase Mojang made Minecraft singleplayer run on the same code as multiplayer becuase of the Lan. Becuase of that it lags just like a server. Your on a Mac Laptop so it will probaly lag more. There is one way to fix this I think download a mod that changes singleplayers code back to how it used to be. This has happened to me LOADS of times. Hope I helped
