Loot Protection
Loot Protection is a client-side Fabric mod that temporarily blocks a player's inputs after a nearby player dies, to prevent crystal PvP explosions from destroying dropped loot.
What it does
Once a nearby player dies, the local client notices it within a configured radius and suspends mouse input for a fixed period. During the lock, attacks on end crystals and use of items are prevented, and interactions with respawn anchors are blocked, so the player cannot trigger the explosions that would scatter or destroy loot nearby.
Pressing O toggles the protection off, and an overlay message shows whether it is currently on or off. The mod runs entirely on the client, so only the player who installs it is affected and no server install is needed. Installation requires MidnightLib, which must be present alongside the mod on Fabric.
Files are published for Fabric for 26.1 – 26.2, with 1.0.1 for 26.2 as the latest build. The source code is public and the mod is released under the MIT License, making it open source.
