Interference with other plugins and even with essentials commands cause players to be able to fly after rejoin when they should not.
We have several plugins that alter the game mode of players and the fly state. After rejoining they are now sometimes able to fly when they should not. But this also happens with only essentials and no other plugins involved, see below
Steps to reproduce
Reproduce with essentials itself:
Enable fly mode:
/fly
Go to creative mode:
/gm 1
Go to survival mode:
/gm 0
Now you can not fly.
Rejoin
Now you can fly..
Reproduce with other plugins: Have some plugin that changes game mode or fly mode of players after they typed /fly - same issue
Expected behaviour
fly mode should not be persisted by essentials or at least that feature should be disableable (maybe some permission like essentials.fly.persist or in the config). Having the state of the flying ability in two states - in mc itself and essentials - is just prone to desync between those states and incorrect behaviour
Generaly we do not want players to be flying after joining, we switch gamemode with a plugin to survival when somepone joins, but fly is then sometimes reenabled from essentials
If you have the essentials.fly.safejoin permission, you will enable flight on join if you're hovering.
try disabling this permission and seeing if the issue presists
Thanks, but this issue is independent from the safelogin feature and also happens when it is disabled (we have that disabled because it also caused issues with other plugins on our server)
