Edit: Found the solution in ForceGameMode.

Just add the permission node to default in order to affect all players, and then make sure to give admins the admin node.

Use the command /forcegamemode remove <playername> in order to add admins/owners/etc into the "whitelist" of players unaffected by the forced gamemode.



As the title suggests, after players die, they spawn with creative mode enabled.

I've checked server properties, it is set to gamemode 0. I had multiverse installed in order to use buildings from another map, but I checked the properties there and each world was set by default to gamemode 0.

New players come into the server in Survival mode, but as soon as they die they spawn in creative mode...any ideas what plugin it could be? I've gone through and double checked and I can't seem to find a setting that would make that happen...I don't know if maybe my map is just corrupt or what...any ideas?
