Random block protection on DW20 pack?

[Tyrindor]

Friend and I are playing on a default/stock DW20 pack, 6 hours in, all a sudden there's a chunk that can not be modified unless you are an OP. It covers half of our base. We have no type of protection on the server, chests in that chunk can't even be opened. If I give myself OP, I can once again access/modify things, but as soon as I de-op it's back.

Any ideas what is causing this?

Did you build right on the spawn point? By default, there is block protection on that area, size is configurable in server.properties file. Google "spawn-protection" for more details...

That fixed it, thanks.

yep, that's the spawn point protection I think by default its 16 by 16 blocks you can change it to one by one in the server properties file can't remember what its called. I had the same issue when I first started up my server.
