Mob Explosion Griefing Gamerule Mod gives you more control over what mobs can break in your world. Instead of turning all mob griefing off at once, this mod adds new gamerules for specific actions. For example, you can stop Creepers from destroying blocks when they explode, but still let other mob behaviors happen. It also offers separate settings for Ghast fireballs, Endermen picking up blocks, and even zombies breaking doors.

Features:

  • Adds new game rules to stop mob explosions from destroying your world.
  • You can see the explosion, but your blocks and buildings will stay perfectly safe.
  • Prevents Creepers, Ghasts, and Withers from blowing up the terrain.
  • Also stops other mob actions, like Endermen moving blocks or Zombies breaking doors.
  • Gives you separate control over different types of mob griefing.
  • Works on servers, so you can protect everyone’s creations.

New Game Rules:

  • Mob_explosion_griefing: This is the main switch. Turn it off to stop most mob explosions (except the Wither’s) from breaking blocks.
  • Creeper_griefing: Controls only Creeper explosions.
  • Ghast_griefing: Stops Ghast fireballs from destroying blocks or starting new fires.
  • Wither_griefing: Protects your world from the Wither’s powerful explosions.
  • Enderman_griefing: When turned off, Endermen can no longer pick up or place blocks.
  • Door_breaking_griefing: Mobs will not be able to break down doors, no matter the game difficulty.
  • Step_and_destroy_goal: Stops mobs like Zombies from trying to pathfind to and destroy blocks like Turtle Eggs by stepping on them.
