Even with the mod install on both the client and server, i still get the weird block not breaking when mined and tree taking a full minute to fall issue, am i doing something wrong?

So what I'm guessing is that you have modified the configuration speedMultiplicand?

If that value is set to something else than 0 then it is normal that it takes longer to break the tree.

"Block not breaking when mined" I guess you break the block, but the tree itself doesn't fall along with it? If so, and that you modified speedMtiplicand, you'll have to set the same value both in the server & client config. Minecraft do the calculation of the sped to break the block independently on each side. If you have a different value then one side will think it's broken even though it's not.
