Anti Enderman Grief
by derexXD
Anti Enderman Grief stops endermen from picking up and placing blocks, so builds and terrain keep their shape over time.
What it does
Endermen normally pick up blocks from the world and set them down elsewhere, which can undo a build or alter a landscape. Anti Enderman Grief keeps those endermen from doing this, so a player's structures remain as they were built. It is delivered as a server-side mod for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and the same effect is also offered as a data pack, which avoids installing any loader at all.
Because the server is the only side that needs the mod, players join with a vanilla client and see no difference in their own game. The project is open source under the MIT License and is also available for Paper, Spigot, Bukkit and Purpur. Files cover 1.15 – 26.3 with 43 release versions, and the latest build, 1.0.0.1+mod, targets 26.1.2 and was published on 2026-03-25.
Key features
Blocks stay put
Endermen no longer pick up blocks from the world, so terrain and builds are not slowly rearranged.
No unwanted placement
Endermen also stop setting blocks down, which removes the second half of the grief pattern.
Data pack option
A lightweight data pack version applies the same behavior without a mod loader, for servers that prefer that route.
Plugin builds
Paper, Spigot, Bukkit and Purpur servers are listed among the platforms the project supports.
