there's this one program that allowed some things to be run at a certain FPS but I can't think of the name

well srry! my god

The option is called "Disable V-Sync," which I never liked because it sounds backwards. Do you have the option enabled or disabled? If it's enabled than your framerate should go above your refresh rate. When it's disabled that's when it will lock it at your refresh rate. Do you play in windowed or fullscreen? If it's in fullscreen, have you ever touched the "Refresh Rate" option?
Disable Vsync is checked. Unchecking it makes everything choppy as hell. I play at 1600x900 windowed, my refresh rate is 60Hz and "Default" is the only option in the settings for that.

That's really odd. I play at 1600x900 fullscreen with a refresh rate of 60Hz, unchecking it makes it run at a smooth framerate of 60.

Have you tried checking "Disable V-Sync" in Blockland, and then using your GPU's Control Panel to limit your framerate for applications?

Application specific settings aren't working for some reason.

Nvidia or AMD?

EDIT: I don't know when you'll be back online, so I can't hang around hoping you reply. If you happen to have AMD/ATI or whatever, I suggest downloading RadeonPro. I'm not sure if I can post a link, so just google it. Application specific settings not working is a common problem with some of the new drivers, RadeonPro fixes this. It handles just like the Catalyst Control Center, so just add Blockland.exe as an application (not the launcher, I made this mistake originally) and scroll down to force V-Sync.

RadeonPro works but I don't think the V-sync forcing works. I tried all kinds of combinations but it didn't seem work. But that doesn't really matter, it's actually good that I'm getting a few hundred FPS. Simply loading some 40k bricks knocks my FPS down from 600 to ~60 so I'm only getting this "high FPS lag" in practically empty servers.

Keeping disable vsync unchecked should limit it to 60 fps, and prevent any extra strain from it trying to render things ten times faster than you can see them. That's always worked very smoothly for me.

Unchecking v-sync does limit it to 60 FPS but at ~40k bricks it drops down to 20 FPS. I'd rather keep it checked.
