If you mean "allow-flight: true", that shouldn't be necessary. Though some things like Fling or the Rocket Boots may trigger flight checks, brooms should not- it puts the player in creative fly temporarily, which servers are generally ok with.

It certainly shouldn't require it to be off! That'd be pretty weird.. let me know if you see that for sure and I can try it out.

But yeah, sorry for the confusion- I rebalanced brooms recently so they take some skill to fly now, unless you level them up a bit.

@Dannebooi1

Broomsticks don't do anything special for steering, so that's pretty odd. Is it just putting you in gm fly? Does it push you forward? Can you see yourself riding a broom item? Does the Horse GUI come up (jump meter/hearts)?

There isn't a reason I can think of why disabling flight would make it work better :(

EDIT: Also be aware that brooms are just hard to steer until you power them up. If it's all working, pressing shift will reorient you, otherwise they drift a lot. You can do "/wand enchant 100" on a broom to level it up a bit, it will have better steering.

@ShadowWolf294

Whether or not "*" works is up to your GM, for the most part. I've used Pex and GroupManager and not had any issues there. Let me know your GM and what specific nodes you're trying to give?

@Dannebooi1

You should not have to enable flying for brooms to work, they use gm fly to avoid issues there.

Towny or WorldGuard regions with mob spawning denied sometimes make brooms break, though, since they spawn a horse. Are you inside of a no-mob region, by any chance?

@Dannebooi1

The broomstick issue sounds like maybe worldguard blocking mob spawning. I'm trying to figure out a way around that, but they use invisible horses so it's a bit tricky.

The other errors, though, sound like something is broken. Can you check your server logs for errors, please? If you see any from Magic, pastebin them here and I'll help out. If items are getting wiped on restart you may have a plugin conflict of some kind.

@mcbunnylau

There are no special install instructions- could you please paste your server logs here;

And then paste the link here, so I can see them? I'm guessing there will be some startup errors from Magic.

@Atrelyu

It's not too bad, but you might be able to find other plugins (TerrainControl) that do a better job.

If you use WorldBorder and pre-generate chunks it won't make a difference.

Using a MagicWorld with block replacement enabled, I would say chunk generation is about 1 1/2 times more expensive than normal. It generates chunks using the vanilla code, and then replaces each non-air block in the chunk.

So it can be a bit laggy when generating new chunks, but otherwise shouldn't cause issues.

Mainly what MagicWorlds is good at is creating a "parallel" world that has the same structure as your main world, but using different blocks.

@garcialakeworth

I think I understand- but it may not be necessary. As long as the wands are bound, they're the only ones that can use that wand- no permissions required. If you do want to set up the groups, even as a back-up plan, that's how you'd do it though.

I'm not sure I fully understand about the sudo thing- if you want to give wands via a cmd block, you can use "wandp @p merfolk". Definitely do not give players permission to create wands! :D

Another alternative is to use an NPC- but I'm not sure how you're locking players out from getting multiple different wands?

@garcialakeworth

Thank you! :)

It's pretty hard to make Magic work well with a rank/permission based server, but it's been done.

If you have wands set to auto-fill, then you have to set up your permission groups in a particular way.

You need a base group, say "default", that has "-Magic.cast.*". That's a negated permission, so they can't cast any spells by default.

Then in your rank groups, you add back in individual permissions, like "Magic.cast.missile".

Magic is (at least for now) mainly an item-based plugin, and doesn't use permissions for anything but commands.

So the way I would recommend doing this sort of thing is having several different types of wands, each of which has specific spells on them (or the ability to earn specific spells, if you want progression).

Then you have players choose which wand they want. You could put them in a corresponding GM group at this time, too, but the two are completely unrelated- they would just have the "right" wand for their rank, if that makes sense.
