It would be nice to be able to turn auto-protection off in the frontier/waste. Maybe with a command like /protect none, or /buildmode none. Specifically Item Frames
You can use the command /noprotectmode in the Frontier for exactly this purpose. However, this command does not work in the Waste. Edit: See the Wiki page for more details - https://empireminecraft.com/wiki/commands-anti-grief/
Ah. I had tried noprotect in the waste and it wasn't working for what I wanted to do. I will try in the frontier
No good. /noprotect doesn't work for what I'm trying to do. I am trying to find a way to break an item frame with a piston or water.
Oh, that’s disabled on the server I believe entirely. Edit: Yup, it is - https://empireminecraft.com/wiki/changes-from-vanilla-minecraft/#item-frames "Item frames will no longer automatically pop off blocks and require player interaction to break."
Well HOT DANG! I did not even know this was a thing. It just helped me fix a problem I figured had something to do with the protection so Thank You! JD. Sorry it didn't work for Bacon's issue.
