Explosion Breaks No Block
by amotassic
Explosion Breaks No Block lets server owners stop explosions from destroying blocks while still dealing damage, through a config file rather than vanilla gamerules.
What it does
A server owner can switch off block destruction for chosen sources, such as Creeper explosions caused by beds, while the explosion keeps its damage. A separate list controls whether explosions damage item entities, so dropped items can be protected from grenade blasts. Both lists take namespaced identifiers, for example minecraft:beds or tacz:bullet, and a whitelist allows specific blocks such as minecraft:white_bed to be destroyed normally even when a broader rule applies.
The mod is open source under the MIT License and is server-side only, so players join without installing anything. It is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with files for 1.20 – 26.3 and snapshot builds included. Earlier versions moved from gamerule commands to a config file, and the gamerule approach is still available through commands such as gamerule EBNB:xxx true for version 0.2 and earlier. The mod changes vanilla explosion classes, so explosions that come from non-vanilla effects in other mods cannot be blocked. Requests for compatibility with specific mods go through the issue tracker.
Key features
Block destruction toggle
Explosions can be set to keep blocks intact while still causing damage, per source defined in the config.
Item entity protection
A separate list stops explosions from damaging item entities, for example drops from grenade blasts.
Whitelist exceptions
A whitelist lets chosen blocks, such as white beds, be destroyed normally even under a broader protection rule.
Config-based control
Rules are written in a config file instead of vanilla gamerules, which allows finer, extensible control.

BedFallback is also server-side and open source, but it is under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only and targets 1.20.1 – 1.21.11 on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge. TNTUtils covers TNT and works on the same three loaders for 1.12 – 26.2 under the MIT License.
