Me and my friend set up a server through hamachi and we were trying to play survival mode so we downloaded the map and installed it but every time we dig around the blocks spawn back we looked up how to fix it but we dont have a spawn protection option under the server settings....we can play our regular map fine but i think its because we dont mine around the spawn please help!
Second, is the map one you downloaded?
1: If your part of an existing hamachi network, or set one up yourself, you don't need to forward ports.
2: That has nothing to do with it, you have to be an OP to edit blocks directly around the spawn point.
Port forwarding is easy and free.
Depends on the settings for the server and map.
Esption don't jump into threads unless you have a clue what you're talking about.
