Preventing mining same block multiple times on low TPS

Describe your suggestion
I've been using Baritone on low TPS servers and realized that when mining a block with low TPS it sometimes does not mine the first time so baritone mines it, again and again, wasting durability.
I don't know if this has been talked about, but I think it would be a nice addition, that it knows to not break the same block multiple times and conserve some durability (would be good for big highways or large mining operations).
I haven't looked at the code (yet) so this is just speculation, but some possible solutions would be:
- Wait until the mined block is dropped, either when picking it up or hearing it fall (similar to auto fish).
- Make some kind of average of the time it takes to mine a block with certain TPS and use it for the next mined block (this is relative, as it differs from pick to pick and from block to block).
- Watching pickaxe durability (not reliable as if unbreaking or mending is present it does not reflect exactly the amount of blocks mined)
I imagine there are more ways of accomplishing this but have not thought that much, will add more suggestions if I come across any.
Settings
Maybe a delay between blocks setting would fit in, so we can configure the time between mining a block and mining another one.
Context
This would mainly help with preventing wasting tools.
Ohh, yeah? Didn't know this, I was convinced it was wasting durability though... If it's server-side it's wonderful and no need to improve then :)
I will test it later and let you know though. Just in case some servers handle it differently.
One thing I've noticed is, that when auto mining it sometimes takes 3-5 tries, although if doing it by hand it takes 1-2 tries, I don't know what is causing this if it's just those milliseconds between me mining a block and the next block. I will try and gather some more info about this if I can.
