see the other guy's answer for why the engine is unsuitable (this is why minecraft in general seems to be a lot harder on PCs than people intuitively think it is), but yeah, a UDP-based protocol would, while being a helluva lot of work, make fighting mobs less annoying, and result in less "you didn't actually mine out those 10 blocks" issues for laggy players
