I can't be the only one.

When breaking blocks in survival, they take around 10 seconds to actually break even after they broke, and a further 5 for them to actually appear in my inventory. They also require several more breakings to break in some cases. It's both annoying and boring to play with, because it's ruining my survival worlds.

Please fix this issue.

It's not an issue with Minecraft. It's an issue called Block Lag, and it happens when your computer or the server you're playing on can't really run Minecraft fast enough.

I had this when i was at 32 chunk rendering distance, my computer can easily run that but i turned it down and it helped. So try turning down your graphic settings.

The next minecraft patch for 1.9 is going to include a fix for a mob AI pathing memory leak. This should make a significant difference especially for low end machines.

Whats your computer like specification wise? Like the others have said it's probably due to your computer not being all the capable. Though I wonder because I myself used to run the game on an old Core 2 Duo CPU only and didn't get this block breaking delay in ssp.

There are several ways to make that sentence better and in general more helpful.

Maybe rather than telling me it's just my computer, tell me what it is with my computer? Also, what's with the triple full-stop at the end? With a sentence like that, you would only need 1 full stop, not 3.

Probably 10y/o but still.

Bro, you just got like 9,000 people to respond to your question, and now you're trying to insult them? Do you want help or not? Like seriously.

AND people are trying to ask what your comp specs are so they can better understand the problem and possibly help you. Instead of answering you just try to insult them?

You also had responses from people suggesting that you turn your graphics settings down some.

Seriously, people ARE helping you, and there are others who are asking you questions because that will greatly help them solve the problem.

Even if they are all 10y/o, they are acting much older when compared to your 10y/o attitude.

I mean come on, if you want help, then stop trying to hurt the people that are trying to help you.

When my PC started to slow down with later versions of the game (1.8 was the one that became unplayable for me), found some info about allocating more RAM (I think the default is 1gb) - if you have more RAM to allocate, which we cant tell without some specs - in the JVM Arguments line in your profile settings (under Profile Editor in the Launch Window). I can't rem where it tells you what values to tinker with, but I know I did and allocated more RAM, and now I'm playing 1.9 with no problems. Could be a possibility.

This is a Computer Lag Issue; and, not a Game System Malfunction Issue.

Personally, I think your Computer Systems needs to be Defragmented; or, your Internet Access Router needs to be Reset.

However, I have had this kind of problem because my Computer System has like 12+ Minecraft Game Worlds on it.

- Reducing the number of Minecraft Game Worlds that are on your Computer System will also help out.

Other people have suggested altering your Gameplay Option Settings.

- This too will work.

On an Old, and Now Deleted, Game World, I had reduced the Sight Range; and, other Graphics & Sounds Settings; and, that did help speed up the rendering of the Game World Environments.

If you are trying to Break Blocks while the Game World Environment is still Rendering around your Avatar; then, you will experience Lag while Breaking Blocks; and, sometimes a Broken Block will reappear as if it was Never Broken.

My New Game World Default Settings is laggy compared to Older Versions of Minecraft.

- I assume that is because there is a whole bunch of New Content and Gameplay Mechanics compared to the Older Versions; thus, Game Lag is to be expected therefore normal.

I am not a Speed Demon in the Minecraft Game Worlds, like I am in Real Life; thus, waiting for the Minecraft Game World Environments to Render doesn't bother a whole lot at this time; compared to, me being bothered by being stuck behind a Slowpoke, or being Tailgated, while driving on Real Life Roads.

Alot of Minecraft Players want to be able to travel at extremely high speeds for very long distances; and, any Gameplay Lag disrupts this Extreme High Speed Travel Capability.

- So...I can understand your frustration with Gameplay Lag.

Also, the number of worlds you have on your computer has no effect on its performance unless you are actually running out of disk space, nor does the size of any individual world since only chunks within your render distance and around world spawn are loaded (though there is an issue with the way the game saves structure data that can affect very large worlds; periodically deleting "Mineshaft.dat" will avoid this though unless you travel around a lot in one session).
