Cannot plant saplings

I have built an initial island for testing. Initially I could plant oak saplings, so was able to generate sufficient wood. After a few hours of building, I needed more wood. There is quite a bit of grass, which should be available for planting. I can plant a sapling only on two of the available grass blocks, as shown. On any of the others, the planting fails (the sapling bounces off the grass block). I do not see anything that should prevent planting. It would appear that all of the grass blocks are well within my island range. In the attached image, I am standing at {0,124,0) facing east.

Islands file (so far as I know, the default).

I just discovered that I can also plant on the east side of the trapdoor. So three yes, remainder no.

Weird. Do you have spawn protection active?

No, I meant on the server. Your island is at 0,0 so maybe the server is protecting some of the blocks around it. A way to check, if you are Op, is there any issue planting saplings?

[SlimeDog]

I am op, per LuckPerms (vanilla op is disabled). As a test, I also tried as a (demoted) regular player. Same result. What else should I look for?

[SlimeDog]

Hmm. Some interaction with GriefPrevention. I did not explicitly create a GP claim, but at some point there was one around the spawn; I do not know when it was created, because my first planting were within the claim area. I could only plant in the GP claim. When I removed it, I could not plant anywhere. When I created a GP claim that encompassed my island, I could plant anywhere (on grass or dirt). Any ideas?

[SlimeDog]

More information:

While testing challenges, I needed to plant a large spruce (to generate podzol). I was unable to find a 2x2 square of blocks that would allow me to plant saplings on the surface level of my island, or one meter higher. So I had to build a dirt stack 2-meters (blocks) high, which allowed me to plant the contiguous saplings. I have no idea why. Configurations have not changed from above. GriefPrevention plugin is enabled, but there is no claim on my island.

[tastybento]

I'd say that you should remove all other plugins and see if it still happens. Then remove bentobox and see if it still happens.

[SlimeDog]

I'm debugging other plugins ATM, but I still want to isolate this.

[SlimeDog]

I cannot reproduce this issue. Circumstances have changed, but I tried.
