No End Crystal Damage
No End Crystal Damage turns off the damage and knockback that End Crystal explosions cause, and it can also cover TNT Minecarts, respawn anchors and beds.
What it does
By default the mod protects only End Crystals: after installation, explosions from End Crystals no longer deal damage or push players and entities away. The protection for TNT Minecarts, respawn anchors and beds is off unless a server owner enables it, through the configuration file or with the nocrystal command. The command accepts the tntminecart option, which turns on protection for those blocks, and the off option, which restores damage and knockback.
The mod is server-side only, so the server needs it and players join without installing anything. It requires Architectury API. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and the latest builds cover 1.16.5 – 26.1.2 across 22 release versions. The code is under the MIT License, and the project is not open source in the sense of a public repository, but the issue tracker is linked from the listing.

Config and command control
