When I break blocks they just reappear?

I try to break blocks in single player but it just lags out and when I do, it breaks and then it reappears. I keep breaking it and then it eventually falls. I want it to stop.

P.S. It doesn't do this in Minecraft multiplayer.

Solution 1:

It's weird that this only happens on single player, try these to see if they solve your problem

Change video settings.

If your Render Distance is high and your computer is trying to load a mass amount of chunks then this could cause your PC to lag. You can also turn Particles to low, Graphics to fast, and Clouds off.

Turn VBO's on

If you look in the Minecraft menu under Options then Video Settings You should see "Use VBOs" this is supposed to increase your FPS 5 to 10%

Read more on VBOs here.

Remove any possible lag content

Such as Mobs and other entities, snow, decaying leaves and more

you can find a whole list of things to remove here: What game mechanics in Minecraft cause lag?

The last thing you could do is install a lag reducing tool like OptiFine

There are plenty tutorials online on how to do this.
