creeperGriefing
by aqario
creeperGriefing is a server-side gamerule that stops creeper explosions from destroying blocks.
What it does
The mod adds a gamerule named creeperGriefing, which is true by default. Setting it to false blocks creeper explosions from breaking terrain, while damage to entities still goes through. It is a lightweight mod that must be installed on a dedicated server to work there, and it can also be used in singleplayer. Installing it requires Fabric API, or Quilted Fabric API (QFAPI) and Quilt Standard Libraries (QSL) on Quilt. Files cover 1.20 – 1.21.5 for Fabric and Quilt, and the mod is released under CC0 1.0 Universal and is open source.
Key features
Gamerule toggle
The creeperGriefing gamerule can be switched on or off with a single command, and it starts out enabled.
Blocks explosion damage
With the rule set to false, creeper blasts leave terrain intact so builds and landscapes survive.
Entity damage kept
Creepers still hurt players and mobs in range, so the rule removes only the block damage.
