Minecraft HostingBy default, Minecraft servers prevent flying to stop cheating in survival mode. This can cause players to be kicked with a "Flying is not enabled on this server" error, especially on creative servers or when using mods that allow flight. This guide will show you how to easily toggle flight permissions on your MintServers server.
How to Enable Flight
You can permit flying by changing a single setting in your server's properties file.
- Log into your MintServers Dashboard and go to the Game Panel.
- Select "Server Properties" from the menu.
- Locate the "Allow Flight" option.
- Toggle the setting to "true".
- Save the file and restart your server for the change to take effect.
How to Disable Flight
To revert to the default setting, simply follow the same steps but toggle the "Allow Flight" option to "false". After saving and restarting, flying will be disabled.
Note: Players in Creative mode will still be able to fly even when this setting is disabled. To completely prevent flight, ensure players are in Survival or Adventure mode.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
If players are still getting kicked after you've enabled flight, check the following:
- Make sure the server was fully restarted after you saved the changes.
- If you use a permissions plugin, ensure players have the necessary permissions to fly.
- Check that any anti-cheat plugins are not overriding the setting and blocking flight.
Conclusion
Managing flight on your server is as simple as toggling a single setting. Whether you're building a creative world or a custom minigame, enabling flight is a quick fix that improves the experience for players who need it, while keeping your survival servers fair and cheat-free.
