Hello,

I have the latest version of spigot and the latest version of luckyperms posted on the spigot site.

My problem is that none of the minecraft.command.* permission nodes are loaded in lp tree and they take no effect when I load them. I still get permission denied.

I have a few pictures, one is showing it's configured in the database, the type of error I get, proof that a minecraft.command.ban permission node is loaded and working, and version numbers of mods I'm using.

All other permission nodes work. Bukkit.* and all permission nodes for any plugin work flawlessly.

I just can't ban, can't gamemode, things like that. Please let me know if I need to handle this another way or if there is a bug. Thank you.

One more note, I must op myself to use these commands. They work only when opped.

Try using the verbose feature to find out which permissions are checked when running the vanilla commands.
The wiki has a page on verbose and how to use it.

Wow. Verbose is fantastic.

This led to the discovery that the essentials mod is overwriting default minecraft permission nodes. For example, instead of minecraft.gamemode it became essentials.gamemode
