Hi all! I just downloaded and am now running 1.21.4 while I wait for the 1.21.5. However, I am running into issues with switching to creative mode/ allowing flight. The game mode type command is not recognized when I type it in. I checked the server.properties file and changed game mode to creative from survival and changed allow flight to true. However, neither are working. I only have the skin restorer plugin installed. Can someone help me troubleshoot? Thank you!

Welcome to Paper!

If you are not opped, since you don't have a permissions plugin to otherwise grant access, you can't use the game mode command. If you are already op, please see below:

Could you open up your logs/latest.log file and copy it to https://mclo.gs and link that here? If you restarted the server since you last tried the command, try using the command first and then open the file and copy/paste it in.
