I can't place any blocks [closed]

I can't place blocks in Minecraft; when I right-click, nothing happens. What could be going wrong?

Best Answer

If nothing is happening when you left click, then your mouse button might not be properly set to attack. Go into Options then Controls and change Attack to your mouse button. Just click twice with your mouse to change it.

It could be you are using /gamemode 2 instead of gamemode 0. Gamemode 0 is survival mode, whereas gamemode 2 switches you to adventure mode. In adventure mode no blocks can be destroyed. (in 1.8 you can destroy blocks if you have the correct tools)

To avoid this you can use the full name /gamemode survival, creative, adventure, spectator. Or an abbreviation of the name (s, c, a, sp).

Why is it not letting me place blocks in Minecraft?

This is typically referred to as "block lag", and is caused by the server not being able to keep up with updates coming from players. There isn't much you can do about it, unfortunately.

How do you unblock blocks in Minecraft?

If you cannot destroy blocks, either you are holding a sword, or you are in Adventure Mode.
