Singleplayer admin command issues

[SapphireX]

I am having issues in my singleplayer world with two commands in particular, ".charsel" And "/player [name] allowcharselonce"

I try to change my class/appearance by running the following command:
".charsel"
The game tells me:
"You dont have permission to change your character and class. An admin needs to grant you allowcharselonce permission"
So i run the following command:
"/player [name] allowcharselonce"
And the game tells me:
"Player can already run .charsel to change skin and character class"
If i try to run the first command over the cycle starts again, i cant get it to work

Is there by any chance something that im missing? every other command seems to work just about fine and i seem to have admin permissions but the .charsel command doesnt seem to work for me and i cant find anything about this on the wiki nor anywhere else.

I'm also having this issue, in singleplayer. Are you maybe on one of the release candidates? I'm on 1.20.0-rc.5, and .charsel fails in exactly the same way Sapphire is describing.

I am also experiencing the same problem but in Multiplayer.  The admin runs the allowcharselonce command and it says that I should do .charsel, but when I run it it says I do not have permission.

Ditto, same issue as admin on 3rd party server.

Im having the same issue here...

Same, using 1.20.0-rc5. Thought I was going mad!

[SapphireX]

Yeah i have been using 1.20.0-rc.5 i guess thats just the issue then maybe

Bug supposedly fixed with rc6, I'm updating now.

• Fixed: Command "/allowCharSelOnce" no longer working

bug is still occuring for me and i cannot change class

Is this still going on? 1.20 has been out a long time now. I just updated my 1.19 game, and .charsel is giving me the error in the OP.

It looks like ".charsel" is the command I should be using in a single player game.

I started this game as a Commoner, and now I know enough about classes to choose one. It'd be a bummer if now I can't.

ETA: Nvm. I didn't realize I needed to use the admin command "/player [name] allowcharselonce" and THEN ".charsel"
