Immense Stutter when breaking or placing blocks around torches and light in general.

Hi, so a lot of friends and I started a Minecraft 1.14 server a few days back and we began having some serious performance issues. Specifically, I am talking about extreme stutter. when blocks are broken or placed near glowstone, torches, and many other light sources, a major stutter occurs. Keep in mind, this happens every single time and it is starting to really bug us and give us reason to not keep hopping on the server.
