all the ability's you must activate of the mcMMO don't work, they need to patch it soon.

anyway, a good way of training without screwing up your landscape is to make an underground (or above ground) hole, like 16x16x4 that goes like this.

wall  ceiling   wall

wall  |air       wall

wall  dirt      wall

wall  air       wall

wall  dirt      wall

wall  floor    wall

you won't get XP from self placed blocks, but when you place regular dirt, and let grow grass on it (will take some time) resets that self-placed-block sentence, so you will gain XP from self placed dirt blocks where you let grow grass on. I know its not very fast, but hey, its a way to train without screwing your landscape.
