Observed Behavior

As soon as you install the plugin, and you press Q to let go of something, the item stays in the hotbar, you can't let go of items. Also when you try and break a block you get this message "Cannot build unless you make a claim. type /ignoreclaim to ignore this message."

Expected Behavior

That the Q button will release the item in my hand.
That breaking a block will not give me annoying messages that I can't build yet until I make a claim.

Can you post your config? It sounds likely that you've set the Claims.Mode setting to Creative, or SurvivalRequiringClaims, both of which require you to have claimed land before you can build on it - and creative mode rules also prevent dropping items (so that a player can't just keep getting more and more items from their Creative inventory and dropping them everywhere for low-effort griefing).

In other words, it sounds like the plugin is actually working as designed, assuming that you do have Claims.Mode set to Creative or SurvivalRequiringClaims - the creative claims mode documentation explains this all pretty well.

That's exactly what it is, creative claims mode.

I do intend on removing this mode due to the complexity of Creative mode grief - would be better served in an addon and avoid lesser-known design decisions being implemented as default without user knowledge, such as this ticket.
