What it does

Griefless is a Fabric mod for 1.21.9 and 1.21.10 that gives server owners separate gamerules for mob griefing, replacing the single vanilla mobGriefing rule. Each gamerule can be set on its own. The gamerules carry prefixed names so they are easier to tell apart in the command list. Vanilla mobGriefing still works, but it only affects the mob types that Griefless has not overridden.

Key features

  1. Configurable mob griefing

    Mob griefing is split into gamerules that can each be set to allow or block block changes by mobs.

  2. Replaces the vanilla rule

    The set gamerules take the place of the single vanilla mobGriefing gamerule for the mobs they cover.

  3. Prefixed gamerule names

    The gamerules use a shared prefix, so they group together when listed in the game.

Questions

Does Griefless need to be installed on players' clients?

No. It runs on the server alone, so players need nothing extra to join.

Does vanilla mobGriefing still work with Griefless installed?

Yes. Vanilla mobGriefing remains in the game, but it only has an effect on mobs when its gamerule is enabled alongside the Griefless gamerules.

What the author says

This mod adds a set of gamerules, replacing every vanilla instance of the mobGriefing gamerule. All gamerules are prefixed with griefless:, and I tried to give them meaningful names.
