Blast Proof Saplings & Glass Panes
by zampinomatti
Blast Proof Saplings & Glass Panes stops explosions from destroying saplings and glass panes, leaving the rest of the world to react as vanilla intends.
What it does
Saplings of the oak, spruce, birch, jungle, acacia, dark oak and cherry wood types, along with mangrove propagules, survive explosions. Plain glass panes and the stained colour variants are protected too. The effect works against the vanilla explosion source, so TNT, creepers, wither skulls, end crystals, beds and respawn anchors still explode normally, and blocks outside these two groups keep their usual behaviour.
The mod is a single lightweight Mixin that raises the explosion resistance of those blocks to a very high fixed value, enough that vanilla explosion calculations no longer scratch them. Blocks are matched by registry ID rather than Java class, so saplings and panes added by other mods or datapacks are covered automatically. Fabric API is required. Because explosion resistance is checked on the server, both the server and each player must install the mod; a player who installs it alone may see visual desyncs. The code is not open source and is released under All rights reserved.
Key features
Protected saplings
Saplings from seven wood types and mangrove propagules are unaffected by blast damage in the world.
Protected glass panes
Plain glass panes and all stained colour variants stay in place when an explosion hits them.
Vanilla explosions otherwise
TNT, creepers, wither skulls and other sources still destroy everything outside the two protected groups.
Registry ID matching
Saplings and panes added by other mods or datapacks receive the same protection without extra setup.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Server owners and players who want saplings and glass panes to survive explosions while the rest of the world keeps vanilla behaviour. Both sides need the mod for it to work correctly.
How it compares
Explosion Proof Chests is server-side only, open source under the MIT License, and covers 1.18.2 – 26.1.2 on Fabric, so it protects chests rather than saplings and panes. Ultimate Glass is client and server, open source under the MIT License, and targets 26.2 on Fabric, so it changes glass in another way; Rainy Glass is also client and server but is open source under no license and is built for 1.20.1.

What the author says
Saplings — every wood type (oak, spruce, birch, jungle, acacia, dark oak, cherry) plus mangrove propagules — don't explode. Glass panes — plain and every stained color — survive explosions. Works against any vanilla explosion source: TNT, Creepers, Wither skulls, End Crystals, beds, respawn anchors, and anything else…
