efficiency is a bit nerfed in minecraft 1.4.6.
e.g. Efficiency V Pickaxes no longer instantly break dirt.
but with the forge 6.5.0.471, the pickaxes still instantly break dirt.
In the multiplayer mode, it seemed that a dirt block is broken instantly and disappear from a player.
But the block was not breaking.
There is nothing the player can do for the block except to relogin.
