Creeper no Break Blocks

by CraftyCoder

Creeper no Break Blocks stops creeper explosions from destroying terrain, so a crater never replaces the blocks a player built.

FabricForgeNeoForgeServer-side onlyAll rights reserved1.20 – 26.2

What it does

When a creeper explodes, the blocks around it normally break. With this mod installed, the explosion still happens and still damages entities, including players, but no block is removed. Creepers keep their behavior in every other respect, so the mod changes only the effect on the terrain.

The mod suits worlds meant for young audiences, modpacks and servers where mob griefing should stay enabled but builds must survive. Builders who dislike repairing craters after every creeper attack can rely on it as well. It needs nothing else, and the description says to drop the file in, restart the game and play.

Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, covering game versions 1.20 – 26.2 with snapshot builds included. Only the server needs it, and players join without installing anything. The latest files are 1.0.0 for 26.2, dated 2026-06-27, and the mod is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.

Key features

  1. Block protection from creepers

    Creeper explosions no longer remove blocks, so terrain and builds remain intact after an attack.

  2. Explosion damage preserved

    Players and other entities still take damage from creeper explosions, so the mob keeps its threat.

  3. Simple installation

    The mod has no configuration steps: it is added to the server and takes effect after a restart.
