--SOLVED--
SOLUTION:
I went into the griefprevention config, and found "CreationRequiresWorldGuardBuildPermission" and set it to false, and that fixed my problem. However, players could still claim spawn, so I typed /adminclaims, and created a claim around spawn, and than typed /trust all. Next, I typed /basicclaims to return to the normal claiming mode. I hope this helps anyone who had this issue. Lastly, I typed /trust all so that grief prevention doesn't have any effect on spawn except for players not being able to claim it. If players are able to break your spawn after you typed /trust all, you will need to defend it with worldguard/worldguard region flags.
Problem:
Plugins that are affecting this issue: WorldGuard and GriefPrevention, (possibly Essentials too but I'd highly doubt Essentials affects it).
In my multiplayer server, I have only three regions set up: (__global__, a region called "spawntown", and a region called "spawn"). The issue I am dealing with is only affected by the regions __global__ and "spawntown", and not by the region "spawn". So what's the issue? Players are NOT able to /claim land or right click with a golden shovel to set a claim in "spawntown", but are able to set a claim in __global__. I want players to be able to also claim land in the region "spawntown".
When players try to claim land in "spawntown", they get a message that says "you can't claim all of this because you're not allowed to build here." To be clear, players are able to build in the region "spawntown", they simply just are NOT able to claim land in that region.
Here are the only flags I have set for region __global__
-passthrough: allow
-build: allow
-tnt: allow
-blocked-cmds: [/easywl off, /easywl remove] <--- (note: easywl commands are just whitelist commands that do not affect this issue)
Here are the only flags I have set for region spawntown:
-passthrough: allow
-build: allow
-tnt: deny
The worldguard region priority of spawntown is 8, whilst __global is 0.
What confuses me is that __global__ and spawntown have pretty much the same worldguard flags set when it comes to being able to claim land, yet players can only claim in __global__ and not spawntown. One may think the issue may have something to do with permissions. However, since players are able to claim land in __global__, maybe it's not permissions that are causing the issue? Maybe this has something to do with the configurations set up in GriefPrevention/or worldguard? Maybe by default, the configuration for GriefPrevention/or worldguard addresses __global__ in a unique way that allows players to claim land in that region, but does not address other regions by default? <-- Those are just guesses. I'm really not too sure what is causing this issue, nor do I know how to fix it. Anyone have any ideas for a fix?
