Anti crystal/anchor damage
by PuddingCoded
Anti crystal/anchor damage stops end crystal and respawn anchor explosions from hurting entities while keeping their knockback and block destruction.
What it does
The mod targets explosions from end crystals and respawn anchors, so the damage they deal to players and mobs is removed while the push still applies and blocks still break. Server owners can switch off the damage for mobs and for environmental sources separately, which leaves those two groups to be handled in the config file.
Beds and TNT minecarts can be included through separate options, so explosions from those sources can also be left without damage. The author describes the mod as a simpler route than other anti-explosion damage mods, with no extra dependencies and no mixins, which is intended to limit load incompatibility issues. It is built for servers that want to keep crystal PvP without excessive server changes.
The mod is published for Fabric only, with a single build for 1.21.11, and runs on the server alone. Players join without installing it, and clients need nothing. The code is released under the MIT License, but the project is not open source.
Key features
Crystal and anchor damage removed
End crystal and respawn anchor explosions do no damage to entities, while their knockback stays in place.
Block destruction kept
Explosions still destroy blocks, so the terrain effects of crystal and anchor blasts are unchanged.
Config file options
A config file lets server owners toggle damage removal for mob and environmental sources on their own.
Beds and TNT minecarts
A separate option covers explosions from beds and TNT minecarts, which can be included or left out.
