I can't place down blocks when I'm underground or some distance away from my spawn point. when mining blocks they lag after I break them. if I break touches they disappear or I'm unable to pick up the item. if I sneak to activate shield the animation delays. at certain depths or distances, I'm unable to place touches or blocks or damage delays as well.

my settings are at the recommended. I tried seeing if maybe this was happening because my world was old but even after creating a new world at some point I'll encounter the same problems. this is making playing difficult.
