Blastproof
by Barenton
Blastproof stops explosions from destroying blocks on a Fabric server, while entities still take damage from blasts.
What it does
Blastproof is a Fabric mod that stops explosions from damaging blocks in a world. Entities still receive damage from explosions, so only the blocks are protected. Fabric API is required, and the mod is server-side only, so players join without installing it.
The mod is aimed at single-player worlds and servers where builds should survive explosions. It keeps block damage from starting fires, so explosions do not cause wildfires, and it works alongside the mobGriefing gamerule without conflict, adding a further layer of protection rather than replacing it. Server owners can check settings and toggle options with in-game commands. Files are published for Fabric 1.21.3 – 26.3, and the latest build is 0.3.0+mc26.3 for 26.3, released 2026-09-15. The source code is open under the MIT License.
Key features

How it compares
SecureExplosion is server-side only and is open source under the MIT License. It is published for both Fabric and NeoForge across 1.21.3 – 26.1.2, so it covers more loaders than Blastproof. No Creeper Explosions is server-side only and targets only 1.21.11, under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. Explosivity is server-side only, licensed under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and targets 26.2.
