Can't place things in creative mode
My friend and I are playing on a non-dedicated server (hosted from her computer, cause mine barely runs the game as it is lol). We're playing in creative mode to sort of get a hang of the new building mechanics and learn what to expect. But for some reason when I'm in creative mode, I can't place anything. She can place things just fine, but when I click the second time to place something, it does nothing.

Like it doesn't give me a message saying I can't place here or anything like that, it just doesn't do anything when I place it (it pretends like it was placed and moves on to letting me "place" the next one, but it never actually placed anything).

When I'm in survival mode, I can place things just fine and everything works normally, but in creative, it has this issue.

Any advice on things that might help to troubleshoot or solve this issue would be greatly appreciated.

TIA

make sure you in the same tribe with her. what's most likely happening, is that it thinks you're some stranger, so it won't let you do anything to stuff she's built.

No, that would give me the message that I can't place things here (also I was in her tribe).

However, I did find out the reason. She was giving me creative mode, but I didn't have cheat permissions. I'm not sure if that *should* be the reason, but using EnableCheats solved the problem.

who enters the command "enablecheats" the admin or the person trying to gain admin privileges?
