Minecraft – Why don’t mined blocks show up in the inventory on the Spigot server

minecraft-java-editionminecraft-spigot

I have a simple Spigot server installed on a Rasperry Pi. So far so good. I log in and it works, until I realize that when I mine a block it never reaches my inventory. No dropped block. Nothing is left behind, except a void which used to be occupied. I have seen others with this problem, is it just a quick permissions/settings file fix, or is it intended. It is not on adventure, it says survival on the console window when starting up. It's really weird. I have tried mining on other Spigot servers powered by Pis, and it didn't work, yet the server admin put up a bunch of signs.

What do I have to do to configure the server to work correctly? Am I accidentally using a "unstable/uncompleted" build? (It says 1.6.4) Is this not a feature yet? Is there a mod that will fix this? Did the original admin of other servers use creative?

When starting a new server, there is a property in server.properties called spawn-protection. On a standard server, the only users that can modify blocks within this region are ops.

You can make yourself an op by running this command on the server op playername. Alternatively, you can edit the ops.txt file directly and add your username to the list.
