Solved /time set day not working

Hey folks.

I've got the version 1.7dev-941 on my Ubuntu 17.10 server but when I connect to the server w/ any Win10 client I am sitting in the dark and running `/time set day` doesn't change things. it says it's setting the time to 0, but alas, no sun.

server.properties looks like this:

Code:

announce-player-achievements=true
auto-save=true
xbox-auth=off
allow-flight=true
allow-nether=true
difficulty=1
enable-command-block=true
enable-query=true
enable-rcon=true
force-gamemode=off
gamemode=1
generate-structures=true
generator-settings=
hardcore=off
level-name=world
level-type=DEFAULT
level-seed=
max-players=4
online-mode=false
op-permission-level=2
pvp=false
spawn-animals=true
spawn-monsters=true
spawn-mobs=true
spawn-npcs=true
spawn-protection=16
view-distance=8
white-list=false

ideas?

 

Try /time start before executing /time set day

 

Thanks for the tip. didn't know that was a valid command!
Unfortunately that didn't solve the problem either

 

Works fine for me. Maybe black chunks or something? Try removing pocketmine.yml

 

I know this may sound dumb, but does your issue of not seeing the sun have anything with you being underwater?

 

nada

No dumb suggestions here, I'm a complete n00b just running a server for my kids
If i'm spawning underwater that's a problem, though, any way I can make sure that doesn't happen?

EDIT: we have a winner! I was spawning underwater. So, new question, is there any way to make sure that doesn't happen?

 

You can set your world's spawnpoint with /setworldspawn command.

 

another great tip. Thanks a ton, everybody!
