Hey, I've just updated my server to 1.4.6 and it seems like the spawnprotection is gone. The entry in the bukkit.yml is missing and gets removed if I add it manually. The spawnprotection in the server.properties doesn't work either. Update: I can't place water within the spawn. Normal blocks work. :S EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.
I'm still having this problem. I want to protect my spawn but without using special plugins which require WorldEdit.
Did you move the spawn or something? Are you testing this while you are an op maybe? What plugins are you using?
I'm not op and don't have any special permissions. I'm using EssentialsSpawn but the spawn position is within the original spawn area and even without EssentialsSpawn it's the same. Plugins: CraftBook Essentials EssentialsChat EssentialsProtect EssentialsSpawn LWC PermissionsBukkit TheMonkeyPack (only getPayed enabled) Towny
I don't want to create an extra town for the spawn. This would be too much maintenance effort. There actually was a default protection of the spawn, I have no idea why it's gone. As said in the first post the corresponding entry in the bukkit.yml is missing too.
They took it out a few major/minor releases ago. You are going to have to live with some other plugin protecting it. FYI - you don't have to run WorldEdit on your server to get WorldGuard to work. It should still support adding WorldEdit to you lib folder which would prevent anyone from doing something bad with it.
I've just fixed it. The last post in this thread was the solution: http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/bukkit-spawn-protection-broken.117271/
