Can't Build On A Minecraft Server

If some players cant build at a specific location due to the server disallowing block placement and modification, you need to disable spawn protection or remove the op permissions from all players. This is due to Minecraft enabling a 33x33 block spawn protection by default once a player with the op permission is present centered around the world spawn.

Spawn protection on a Minecraft Server is something that is natively done by default within the Minecraft Server Software, these steps will show you how to disable it.

  1. Head to the Kinetic Panel & stop your server.

  2. Go to the Settings Page.

  3. Then Navigate to the Server Properties.

  4. You'll want to look for the Spawn Protection box, you'll want to replace the 16 to 0

  5. Next, save the file and power on your server, the spawn protection on your Minecraft Server will now be set to 0.
