FabricServer-side onlyBSD 3-Clause LicenseOpen source1.17 – 1.17.1

What it does

The mod alters a few monster griefing behaviours, such as creeper block damage, so mobs leave the world intact when they fight. Only the server needs it; players join without installing anything. Builds exist for 1.17 and 1.17.1, and the latest file is for 1.17.1, dated 2021-09-01. It is released under the BSD 3-Clause License and is open source, with public links for source code and an issue tracker.

Key features

  1. Creeper block damage

    Explosions from creepers no longer break blocks, which keeps builds and terrain from being destroyed by those blasts.

  2. Monster griefing patches

    Some other annoying monster griefing behaviours are patched, so hostile mobs cause less unwanted change to the world.

  3. Server-side operation

    Changes apply on the server alone, and clients connecting to it need nothing extra installed.
