Convenient mobGriefing

by A5b84

Convenient mobGriefing splits the vanilla mobGriefing game rule into finer toggles, so a server owner can set how each mob type may alter blocks.

What it does

The vanilla mobGriefing rule is a single switch, and this mod replaces it with separate controls. Every switch governs a single behavior, for instance Creepers and Ghasts blasting blocks, Endermen lifting and setting down blocks, Silverfish burrowing into blocks, Zombies and Vindicators smashing doors, the Wither and the Ender Dragon reshaping terrain, plus Villagers gathering crops. Behaviors are grouped into hostile and lenient controls, so one setting can cover a whole category before individual toggles are adjusted.

Beyond what the vanilla rule covers, the switches extend to Goats, Nautiluses and Ravagers hitting Armor Stands, Item Frames, Leashes and Paintings, Piglins trading with gold, Allays collecting dropped goods, Snow Golems laying down snow, Sheep nibbling grass, Rabbits chewing carrot plants and Foxes consuming Sweet Berries. Wind Charges and similar explosions that affect blocks and non-player entities can be configured as well.

Only the server needs the mod, so players join without installing anything. It runs on Fabric and Quilt, and the files target 1.14 – 26.3 across 48 release versions, with the latest file 2.2.2 for 26.3 published on 2026-06-20. The code is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only.

Key features

  1. Split mob griefing rule

    The single mobGriefing rule is divided into separate toggles, so each mob behavior can be allowed or blocked on its own.

  2. Hostile and lenient groups

    Hostile and lenient griefing behaviors are grouped, letting a server set a broad default before adjusting single mobs.

  3. Extra mob coverage

    Behaviors of mobs outside the vanilla rule, such as Piglin bartering and Allays picking up items, can be toggled.

  4. Explosion and entity control

    Wind Charges and similar explosions can be set to affect blocks and non-player entities, or to leave them untouched.

  5. Farmland and item pickup

    Villagers harvesting crops, Allays picking up dropped items and turning farmland into dirt each have their own toggle.
