Anti Entity Grief

by BVengo

Anti Entity Grief is a server-side Fabric mod that limits which destructive behaviors individual mobs can perform in the world.

FabricServer-side onlyGNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 onlyOpen source1.20 – 1.21.4

What it does

The mod gives server owners per-entity control over griefing capabilities. Each entity type can be switched on or off for abilities such as breaking doors, destroying blocks through movement, and exploding blocks, using server commands that take an entity type, a capability and true or false. Without it, controlling these behaviors usually means installing several separate datapacks, such as those from VanillaTweaks, and server owners get limited control over entities through them.

Settings are applied per entity type, and some options are unique to a type. Endermen, for example, have separate options for picking up and placing blocks, alongside generic settings. The mod covers zombie variants, endermen picking up blocks, ender dragons, ravagers and withers through movement, silverfish merging with stone and breaking out of infested stone, foxes eating sweet berries, rabbits eating carrots, and trampling of crops. Fabric API is required, and the mod is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only. Files target 1.20 – 1.21.4, and snapshot builds are published.

However these require downloading multiple datapacks to the server, and have limited control…
