Sponge causing players to be incapable of re-spawning

I’ve noticed this has been a problem for almost a year now for 1.10.2 sponge. When ever sponge is installed even without any mods a player cannot respawn. I was wondering if there is any fix to this yet?

1.10.2 is not supported yet, so “fix yet” is more “fix at all” because 1.10.2 will not receive anymore updates.

As for the issue, I have never had it, even with that old version, so im no help

It would also help to have some version information, and are there any exceptions? Methods of a workaround? It’s very little information to even start considering to writing a fix, even if someone decides to PR a fix for 1.10.2
